While everyone talks about the iPhone, the mobile device’s non-telephone sibling the iPod touch continues to grow its market share at a clamorous rate, leading mobile analytics firm, Flurry, to call it Apple’s “weapon of mass consumption”.
Flurry estimates that of 58 million iPhones and iPod touches sold by Apple up to September, 24 million are iPod touches.
TechCrunch’s sources at Google have informed them that Apple and Google had a no-poach employee agreement going on over the years that Google’s Eric Schmidt was on the board of directors at Apple. "This was not a written agreement, and was considered non-official, but it was well-known and followed within the recruitment division of Google, we’re told."
Google and Apple have been investigated by the DOJ for sharing board members which could theoretically have the byproduct of this type of behavior.
Interestingly, now that Schmidt is off of Apple’s board, the "gentleman’s agreement" may now be off, according to MG Siegler.
He continues:
To be clear, this unwritten agreement was that Google would not go after Apple employees, and vice versa. However, employees of both companies were free to apply to the other company on their own, we’re told. That’s a small, but important difference as the practice of going after other company’s talent, also known as “poaching”, is considered to be an important component of healthy competition in the market. That’s why the Justice Department is looking into it.

We’ve gotten a flurry of late reports that there is in fact a removable battery in the 17-inch laptop. We don’t know what to make of it yet. IT is probably noise/distraction but maybe Apple has been pulling an Asteroid (seeding incorrect information to employees) or there are two batteries in the laptop. One removable and one that stays inside. More to follow as this develops….
Oh, also the Mac Pro is going to see some small form factor changes (possibly at Macworld). We also expect Core i7 processors and NVIDIA 9800 chipsets.
