    Bloomberg reports that Disney shareholders re-elected Steve Jobs to their board.

    The advisory group Glass Lewis & Co. recommended investors withhold support for Jobs, citing his absence from meetings. Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc., stopping short of urging rejection, said Jobs’s attendance and “recent leave of absence from his primary employer, raises questions about his ability to fulfill his responsibilities as a director.”

    Disney said, “The Walt Disney Company considers itself fortunate to have Steve Jobs as a member of its board of directors.”

    Congrats. Mr. Jobs

  • iPhone 5 with Larger 4-inch Screen & Metal Chassis On Track For Summer Release

    // Gradly // Apple, blog, iPhone, Rants & Raves, Rumors 3 Responses

    With the iPad 2 set to launch internationally on Friday, it’s time to set our eyes upon the next big thing, the iPhone 5′s debut in June or July. China Times is reporting that the iPhone 5 has entered trial production and is scheduled for wide scale release in Q3 of this year, which aligns with the iPhone’s traditional late June / early July release date.

    As for what the iPhone 5 will look like, the latest report supports rumors suggesting that the iPhone 5 will mostly be similar to an iPhone 4s, with the major differences being a slightly larger 4-inch touchscreen in the same form factor (accomplished by having less room between the side bezels of the device), as well as a metal chassis (Liquid Metal?) to make the device lighter and improve antenna sensitivity.

    Coupled with an A5 processor and a new aluminum back plate, it sounds like the iPhone 5 — while not quite the evolutionary leap that the iPhone 4 was — will be a bit more than just the iPhone 4s many people anticipated this generation.
