We know very well the weight of every word coming out of Apple?s abode and the every word coming out of the all-the-rage gadget blog ?Engadget.? Startlingly, an incorrect blog post by Engadget related to the delay of iPhone made Apple stock to fall 2.2 percent as investors hurried to sell their shares. The post on Engadget said that the iPhone, which was scheduled for a June launch, had been delayed until October.
Here is the UPDATE from the Engadget?s post:
A trustworthy source supplied us with an actual internal Apple email that went out to thousands of Apple employees earlier today (published after the break). The fact that this was an email sent within Apple’s internal email system to its employees is not in question. Let us reiterate: this was an ACTUAL email distributed within Apple’s internal email system to Apple employees.
As it turns out, the internal memo Apple employees received was actually retracted by Apple shortly after it was sent out. (Also published after the break.) We received confirmation from Apple PR that this initial email sent out to Apple employees was incorrect, and they let us know that the iPhone and Leopard are both still on track, and should meet their expected launch timeframes.
Presumably Apple is now on the hunt for whomever was able to spoof its internal email system.
Comments poured like anything on the post where a majority of readers expressed their anger on the blog. Anyhow, it?s still a mystery that how this story got started. But, Apple had to pay for the mistake heavily.
Motorola has just rolled out the much anticipated multimedia handset dubbed Z8. The handset comes stuffed with an array of impressive features, including video capture and playback at 30 frames per second. The 80MB on-board memory doesn?t impress me so much but thanks to the microSDHC cards that hold up to 32GB of data. Other salient specs include HSDPA and Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity. The multimedia phone boasts a QVGA 16 million color TFT display. The features are pretty imposing but the interesting thing to see will be the battery life of the device. The Motorola Z8 will make to the Asian and European shelves sometime in June for a yet undisclosed price. Other than that, the customers will get a free copy of pre-loaded “The Bourne Identity” movie on every purchase.
DoCoMo D904i is a new mobile phone specially made for all mobile-lovers who aspire to own a device that can understand their hand movements and react accordingly.
This new technology comes in the form of motion sensors that detects different movements to perform different tasks.
The device is so smart that it can react to movements. For example all you need to do to open an Email is to shake your phone left and right and to play music you have to press no buttons but just move the phone up and down.
This magic device features:
• 180 minutes talk time
• 600 hours (static) or 420 hours (dynamic) standby
• Colors: Brilliant Pink, Mirror Black, Super White, Mirror Wine
Still one question is lurking in my mind, that what if you are traveling via a car on a not-so-good road and the device starts to play music…! I hope the company would have had some protection in that area too…!

Nokia came to a decision to place the alerts into mass markets products first to help take full advantage of the potential energy savings.Talking about the phones, Nokia said that mobile phones sounding a beep and showing an alert, Battery is full, please unplug the charger, could save an adequate amount of electricity to power 85,000 homes yearly.
The unplug alerts have been set to first come out on Nokia’s 1200, 1208 and 1650 phone models with later handhelds to follow, aiming on the rise markets such as India, China and Latin America.
