1 Apple A4 Getting Torn Apart in Vietnam

2 A4 Processor is Revealed

Just a couple of weeks after the Gizmodo iPhone 4G fiasco, more photos of the prototype are emerging. This time they are coming from Vietname and include a tear-down of the phone.

One thing noticed is the A4 processor, which is the processor that is used in the iPad.

Who knows what’s next? With the Apple World Wide Developer’s Conference starting June 7^th, who knows what will before then?

Dell, Inc. is returning to the handheld with the Dell Mini 5. Dell intends for this to be a family of Android devices, aimed at media consumption. There are already content deals with Amazon in place for Kindle ebook content as well as Amazon MP3, video and Amazon store content.

Michael Dell also intends to  put a SIM card into these devices so that they can also be used for voice calls, as well as data. The initial devices to hit the market next month have been slated to be in the AT&T network.

First out of the gate will be the Dell Mini 5, which has a 5 inch touchscreen, 1GHz snapdragon processor,  5MP camera, with a separate front-facing camera for video conferencing, a 3.5mm headphone jack, Wi-Fi and 3G wireless connectivity.

In addition to the Mini 5, there will also eventually be 7 and 10 inch models as well. We can expect the 10 in model sometime in 2011.

Google Nexus One

Google announced today that they will be phasing out retail sales of the Nexus One on their phone website. It will continue as a showcase for Google Android phones. While the Android OS has been quite successful, the Google online retail initiative has not.

Having only one wireless carrier as a partner, T-Mobile, and a website that sold mostly to the geekiest of Android fans, sales were not nearly as strong as had been anticipated. While there was the option of shelling out full price ($ 600.00) for an unlocked version, as more Android phones came to market with comparable specs, that became less viable as an option for most.

The phone will still be available online until there are sufficient quantities in retail outlets, at which time online sales will be cut off.
