- I've updated my article tracking rumors about the iPhone 5 with some news. I think we're starting to see this phone taking a reasonably clear shape.
- Speaking of, Foxconn reportedly had thousands of people show up to apply for jobs building the iPhone 5 and the rumored iPad mini.
- Remember how one of the neat features of iOS 6 is that you can use FaceTime over 3G? Not free, though. At least, it appears that AT&T will be charging for it. Sprint, on the other hand, says their FaceTime-over-cellular will be free.
- Speaking of AT&T, the company has introduced a shared-data plan a la Verizon's recent change. It's available to all customers, but not required for existing customers.
- In legal news (because we couldn't go a week without that, right?), Apple has gotten a patent on scrollbars that disappear when not in use. Sounds like another basis on which to sue competitors.
- Also, a German court has ruled that the Motorola Xoom doesn't infringe on the iPad.
- Here's a cool scoop: a look at the early versions of the iPad, straight from the early 2000s. This is more up Dan's alley, technically, but it's neat, so I thought you guys might want to see it, too.
