Apple today announced it will be holding an iPhone 4 press conference this Friday and, as you would expect, the speculation about what the firm has to say is mounting.

Motorola is betting on Android, RIM says its “ridiculous growth” proves people like Blackberry just fine as it is, and Yahoo is unsure whether or not tablets are mobile devices, according to a panel this morning at MobileBeat 2010 in San Francisco

Flashing his 750 million dollar smile on stage at MobileBeat 2010, Admob’s Omar Hamoui coyly discussed how it had felt to be courted by both Google and Apple, the potential implications of an Apple block on the firm’s mobile ads and what contingencies were in place to cope with that eventualit

Speaking at the MobileBeat2010 conference in San Francisco on Monday, AT&T’s Chief Technology Officer John Donovan discussed convergence, the “consumerization of enterprise,” and the surge in mobile broadband, all while artfully managing to avoid the meat of the main issues faced by the carrier.

If you were to imagine the type of person you believed was driving the adoption of the mobile web, that person would probably be a young, white yuppie yapping away on his iPhone.

Despite joking a while back that it would not pull an Apple and set loose the bloodthirsty legal beagles over the leak of its N8 phone to a Russian website, Nokia seems to have changed its mind, and is indeed legally pursuing Eldar Murtazin, the blogger who laid the phone bare for all to gawp at.

It would seem that the word “Android” pops up everywhere nowadays. It’s the in word when it comes to anything mobile related, a true challenger to the iPhone throne as king of the smartphone heap, so it is perhaps a little surprising that its creator, Google, seems to have been unwittingly holding it back from even greater glory.

Apple is well known for its “hear no evil, see no evil” attitude when it comes to its own products, but the Cupertino company came as close as it probably ever will to admitting a problem when it kicked a hacker out of its App Store this weekend.

Apple PR this morning is claiming that the email exchange between an angry punter and a patronizing Steve Jobs was actually a fake and not written by the CEO himself.

Rudeness and arrogance are two words oft associated with Apple, and Steve Jobs himself, but a recent email exchange with a customer has taken customer service and care to a whole new low.
