Apple will today ship the latest version of its operating system for the iPhone and iPod touch, iOS 4. We are also hearing that Apple has begun shipping the iPhone 4 to customers who pre-ordered the device.

The company may already be shipping devices with the new OS installed, according to one report.

We are hearing divergent reports as to when the OS will actually ship.

Most industry watchers expect the new OS to ship at or near 10am Pacific Time.

Some users already have iOS 4 installed on their devices, thanks to curious iPhone developers who noticed the beta made available to them could easily be installed on an iPhone.

iOS 4 offers over 100 new features, including Multitasking, Folders, enhanced Mail, deeper Enterprise support and Apple

What fruit-based firm was started in a garage, is still run by one of its founders and is worth around a quarter of a trillion dollars?

Apple, which saw shares hit $275 — an all time high — was today briefly worth a market cap of just over $250 billion. A few weeks ago, Apple surpassed Microsoft (MSFT) – now worth $230.4 billion – to become the stock market

Palm says it has no idea ‘what the hold-up is’ with getting Flash Player to webOS, even though Adobe promises to get Flash Player into shape for all smartphones by the end of the year. Is this more evidence Apple’s right about Flash Player for mobile?

First glances at the iPhone 4 are beginning to pop up, with one Czech reviewer publishing lots of images alongside a short video clip taken with the new video camera.

The Czech report warns that the plastic surrounding the glass back and front may be prone to minor scratches. It also informs us that the built-in GPS unit is fast, as is the rest of the device, equipped as it is with 512MB RAM.

One note on battery life: one hour of playing games, surfing, using YouTube and pondering why Google Maps hasn

EE Times has taken an even closer look at the ARM-based processors used inside the A4 chip and the Samsung S5PC110A01, following recent revelations that both use CPU cores which are very like each other — and the findings reveal both chips are very similar, but different.

Both processors are based on ARM

iPad shipments are at 1.2 million per month and seem on target to reach 2.5 million per month by the end of the year, an analyst says, citing sources within Apple

Boy Genius Report reports that AT&T is making questionable decisions on customer plans. The cell-phone provider, used for the iPhone in the U.S., is known to have poor 3G coverage in many parts of the nation, and because of this have released a device, called MicroCell, to extend ranges by creating 3G hotspots in customer’s homes.

These hotspots work with customer’s already-installed Internet connections to allow phone calls to be made over the Internet. It seems only fair for AT&T to set this service up for people with poor coverage at home, but AT&T also counts MicroCell usage against customer’s data caps. Essentially, AT&T is charging customers to make phone calls and use data over internet connections they already pay for from different companies.   Sure you can switch over to Wifi on your iPhone when you are in Microcell range, but what if, for whatever reason, you don’t switch and you end up getting billed for data from your own Internet connection?

Rethink possible

Today, Toshiba has announced an all new NAND chip for their lineup, and this is a 64 GB chip perfect for iOS devices. The iPod touch and iPad take 2 chips while the iPhone can squeeze only one in. These new chips are set to be let out of their cages Q4 this year — perhaps in time for Apple’s annual September iPod event. Toshiba’s press release says initial shipments of the drives will go out the doors in September, so…

Apple usually gets early access to chips and other parts so it will be no surprise for these new Toshiba flash-based hard drives to make their way into brand-new iOS devices. Since iPod touches and iPads can take in two 64 GB chips we’re thinking a (classic-killing?) 128 GB iPod touch to lead the lineup as well as a new iPad with 128 GB of storage to go with its iOS 4 release and retina display. Since the iPhone can take in one, we’ll most likely see a 64 GB chip in the iPhone coming in a year from now, or even a 64 GB storage boost around the January/February 2011 timeframe.
