PA Semi team really is working on ARM-based iPhone chip
While this isn’t really new (Steve Jobs mentioned this awhile back when questioned about the purchase of P.A. Semi), Apple really is crafting a next-generation processor to power up a future model iPhone and we’d assume iPod Touches. One of the engineers involved in the project has revealed as much in a post on LinkedIn, the popular business Social networking site.
Woops.
As seen by the New York Times (via MacRumors), Wei-han Lien, the senior manager of Apple’s chip team revealed his work in developing an ARM-based processor for the iPhone in a post on his LinkedIn profile. This post reveals he is the man currently charged to manage the ARM CPU architecture team for the iPhone.

Apple's tablet to have 3D navigation system?
We reported back in December that Apple had submitted some patents for 3D Operating System navigation. It turns out that they’ve also been looking at 3D multi-touch as a way of navigating a multi-touch tablet/iPhone. The Baltimore Sun (via PED) dug up a patent from last month (#20090303231, Dec. 10, 2009 to be exact) on just such an idea.
[0034]The device supports a variety of applications, such as one or more of the following: a game application, a telephone application, a video conferencing application, an e-mail application, an instant messaging application, a blogging application, a photo management application, a digital camera application, a digital video camera application, a web browsing application, a digital music player application, and/or a digital video player application.
If this patent comes to fruition, the next iPhone/iPod/tablet interface might be nothing like anything we’ve seen before, and it could perhaps explain why we’ve been hearing the possibility of a “new type of interaction” to accompany the tablet.
