NEW GENERATION 3 iPHONE INFORMATION

That is a current iPhone picture

Here is what I am getting on the iPhone people. A third wave has landed in early May, when someone on a Chinese forum posted what appeared to be an iPhone screen shot with more detailed specs, including:

• 32 GB of storage (up from a max of 16 GB)
• a 3.2 megapixel autofocus (as opposed to fixed focus) camera
• a 600 MHz CPU (up from 400 MHz)
• 256 MB of RAM (up from 128MB)
• a digital compass and FM receiver.

According to Gartner, worldwide mobile phone sales totalled 269.1 million units in 2009 Q1, down 9.4% from 2008. But smartphone sales exceeded 36.4 million units, up 12.7% from the same period last year.

Nokia (NOK) and “Others” — which apparently included Microsoft (MSFT) Windows Mobile — were the big losers in the smartphone market. RIM, however, grew its market share nearly 50% year over year, while Apple’s share increased 109%.

MARIAH CAREY PERFORMS BLINGED OUT & NICK CANNON QUITS

Mariah Carey sang at the launch of the Mardan Palace in Turkey. I’m still looking for Nick Cannon’s diss of Eminem. 

Speaking of Nick, he’s opted out of any quarrel with Eminem. I was looking forward to this culture clash of titans! Here’s what Nick said to Entertainment Weekly: “I never even considered it as beef. It’s not beef. It’s just, Hey, I heard the record. I said what I had to say. I feel exactly the same way by it and stick by everything, but I think it’s one of those things where it becomes that it’s not really that big of a deal, you know?”

SCOTT STORCH IS SUED AGAIN

By Ace Cannon

Scott Storch was handed another financial defeat, when a Miami-Dade jury awarded a former business partner a $750,000 judgment against the hit producer. Storch was sued by Miami-Beach actor Matt Sinnreich, who paid Storch $25,000 to form a cooperation to produce Sindy Espitia and rapper Darrel “D Shep” Sheppard. According to the Miami Times, Storch never formed the cooperation and never returned the money. The producer was accused of breach of contract and civil theft. The judgment awarded was a default judgment, because Storch never replied to the complaint. Storch’s $10 million dollar mansion is set to be sold off on June 26.
