This Week's Rumor Roundup: More iPhone 5 Details, LCD Kindle
Published
What's new in the tech world this week? Here are the rumors we've been tracking:
-
iPhone 5 will have dual SIM card slots?
You'll double your chances to be caller 100 on the big *honk honk* ZOO CREW giveaway to win Lady Gaga tickets! -
Next-gen Kindle will be an Android tablet?
About as sensible as saying, "The next-generation pizza will be a hamburger". These are two different things, Amazon. If I wanted an eye-straining LCD screen to read my books on, I'd buy an iPad. (Well, first I'd rob a bank, cuz I don't have that kind of dough.) -
iPhone 5 to have a metal back?
Wow Apple, way to being metal back! Them other boys don't know how to act. I think you're special, what's behind your back? Brushed aluminum? Oh ... -
Groupon valued at $25 billion?
That's a LOT of 50% off hot-stone massages. -
ASUS launching $200 Chrome netbooks in June?
We already have $200 netbooks ... they're called "netbooks". Also: Didn't you get the memo, ASUS? Tablets are where it's at! (Gosh, that sounds like an anti-anti-drug campaign, doesn't it? Yeesh!) -
Microsoft discontinuing Zune hardware?
I promised myself I wouldn't cry. Oh, this is so embarassing. Can I just have a moment? Please? *sniff*
