    iPhone 5 Mockup

    The next-generation iPhone, iPhone 5, rumor mill is hot on tracks as we are approaching the announcement time. Previous rumors suggested a bigger screen and today we have more tidbits that worth noticing.

    The next iPhone, iPhone 5, no doubt will sport a slimmer shell and feature a taller screen display, probably to keep the overall device measurements. The new display will sport around 1132 x 640 pixles at 326 ppi measuring a 4″ display with 16:9 ratio (current iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S have 960 X 640 pixels, 3.5″ with 3:2 ratio).

    Samsung Hires Flashmob to ‘WAKE UP’ Apple Users

    It wasn’t enough for Samsung when they started their anti-iPhone and “get samsunged” campaign months ago, today Samsung sent a paid flashmob to Apple’s retail store in Sydney, Australia to try to “Wake Up” iPhone users.

    Its Samsung’s most ridiculous move yet, they sent hordes of chanters people dressed in black to protest outside of an Apple retail store. with a clear message written: Wake Up!

    It’s believed that this is Samsung’s Galaxy S III marketing, which was put together by Australian creative agency Tongue.

    The ‘Wake up.’ campaign has also seen the words written on the bottom of Bondi Ice Bergs pool, as well as on a series of billboards placed around town. There was also a website at wake-up-australia.com.au that allegedly counts down to the May 3 launch for the Galaxy S III which is Apple’s iPhone primary rival.
