The Government has offered Australia's three mobile operators, and vividwireless, renewal of their existing spectrum allocated on 15 year licences in the late 90s and early 2000s at set prices, while the Government expects to rake in $3 billion.
AppleInsider has
published details of a possible delay in the 3G iPhone due to the 3.5G
HSDPA chip that Infineon produces and is reported to have been chosen
to power the 3G iPhone.
AppleInsider quotes
an analyst saying: "In our view the profit warning has been caused by
ramp changes of next generation iPhone, into which Infineon is
supplying the main High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) chipset”.
The analyst said “the delay has resulted in 1.5 million fewer orders for the chipset during Infineon's current quarter.”
Infineon
confirmed in a Reuters report it had "received lower orders than
expected" for “certain HSDPA chips destined” for a "high-speed Internet
phone" but didn’t say which one it was, while also saying chips for a
new Nokia phone had also seen orders delayed.
A report
in GigaOm says the new GPS chip in the 3G iPhone is being made by
Broadcom, and not the SIRF GPS chip provider of SiRFStar III fame,
thanks to FCC legal requirements presumably indicating chip details
must be disclosed.
Meanwhile, Engadget has published details of the original iPhone patent application, along with an image that looks very familiar to existing iPhone owners.
The patent application, which can be found
at the US Patent Office, shows details of the original intentions for
the iPhone, including video chat capabilities and more, some of which
are now assumed to be on the way in the upcoming 3G iPhone.
Finally, the iPhone can now emulate yet another games platform, this time the TurboGrafx 16 games console, called Temper.
This
means the iPhone can now emulate the Palm platform (thanks to
StyleTap), the original Nintendo Entertainment System, the GameBoy
Advance, the ScummVM emulator to play old Lucasarts and Sierra games,
and a PS1/PSX emulator, in addition to the Turbo Grafx 16.
