iOS 5 Coming On September 30th (EXCLUSIVE)

We have been informed by a reliable source that iOS 5 should be available on September 30th at 10 AM PST just the same time as previous update releases.

 

Back in June, iOS 5 was introduced during the WWDC 2011. iOS 5 comes with features as OTA updates, a perfect notifications system, Newsstand, Twitter integration, the Reminder Up, PC-Free feature, the iMessage, Speech-To-Text feature and even more features unveiled in the released betas of iOS 5.

9to5mac earlier this week reported that Apple’s next-generation iPhone will be available in stores starting on Friday, October 7th. The report also included that pre-orders of the iPhone 5 will be available from Friday, September 30th. So the date of iOS 5 release is most likely true as Apple traditionally releases a new update to the public couple of days before the release of new iPhone hardware.

Another iPhone 5 design concept surfaces on the web by Antoine Brieux from NAK Studio which won’t surprise me a lot when it comes this fall. Apple must change the iPhone 5 design to bring a great number of customers as most of people now have an iPhone 4 and it’s very good.

The concept makes the iPhone 5 much simpler than older products as it’s a one body of metal edged off with two pieces of curved glass. Have fun with the gallery below:

Awesome, isn’t it?

Now Paste Clipboard Images Into Gmail Messages

A year back, Gmail started letting users drop images from their desktop right into the compose window.

“Now, when you are running the latest version of Google Chrome, you can paste images right from your clipboard too,” Google announced.

“So if you copy an image from the web or another email, you can paste it right into your message. This is especially handy for passing around screenshots — you don’t have to save the files any more (I have been using Ctrl-C on my windows to save screenshots directly to the clipboard). While this currently only works in Chrome, we hope to enable it on other browsers soon,” Google added.

Drag-and-Drop Your Images into Google Docs

Google has just added the ability to drag-and-drop images from the desktop into a Google Docs document.

The new feature works with the latest versions of Google Chrome , Firefox and Safari, and Google says it plans to add support for other browsers soon. The feature works exactly as you would expect. Rather than importing an image using the web uploader, entering in a URL or doing a Google Image Search, you just drag the item from your desktop into your Google Docs document.

Drag-and-drop uploading is actually a pretty big win for a web app like Google Docs. Competitor Zoho supports drag-and-drop for some of its apps, but dragging an image into a Zoho Writer file just ends up inserting a local file address into the document.

The process works pretty well and we had no problem taking images from our Mac desktop and putting them in a Google Doc using both Safari 5.0.2 and the latest release of Google Chrome.

Mircrosoft’s much hyped new version of its productivity suite, Microsoft Office 2010, is debuting to the public today and will now be available for purchase at 35,000 retail stores and a number of online retailers including Best Buy and Amazon.com.

Office 2010 Home and Student is priced at $149, and Office 2010 Home and Business runs at $249. However, you can already find discounted versions of the suites on Amazon.com

Rumor has it that Apple is gearing up to announce its “Next big thing” – a new personalized, mobile advertising system that could well be dubbed as the “iAd”. The buzz is building coincidently, or may be by design, towards the iPad shipment date, which is April 3rd. According to some executives familiar with the plan, Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs has described the new ad platform as “revolutionary” and “our next big thing”. The sources also informed that it will be officially unveiled at Madison Avenue on April 7th – exactly four days after iPad ships.
