First piece of 13 inch Macbook becomes apparent

Digitimes is reporting that Apple just bought 90,000 (more expensive) 13.3 inch LED displays.  We have no idea what Apple is going to use those things for.

Expect some more surprises in the coming weeks as Apple's partners ramp up production of their new hybrid laptop/tablet device.

Oh, and don't expect Digitimes to find an OEM that is making a trackpad for this thing btw ;-)

CNBC states the known knowns

So CNBC said a bunch of stuff.  Let's break it down.

1. Apple is making more iPods Touch for Christmas.  Huge surprise, they rock.  Make more.

2. iPhones are coming in May/June.  No kidding.  Jobs said it at the O2 iPhone launching.  AT&T's CEO said it...and of course we called it in early October.  Mostly...

3. Relatively inexpensive ultra-slim laptop coming out at Macworld.     No movable drive mechanisms?  

Where's the news?

Apple at LeWeb

For the French, there is no bigger technology event than next week's LeWeb.  Last years was kind of a bust because the Wifi didn't work (tech conference?  hello?) and the local politicians turned it into a political rally. 

Since the elections are over and the Wifi is now flowing, you might want to consider dropping in if you are in the neighborhood.  Full Apple flyer after the jump...

Tmobile Selling unlocked iPhones for ???999

News is starting to trickle in.  You can now officially buy an unlocked iPhone for yes, €999.  Is this the actual price of the iPhone.  Is this what Apple would charge if it wasn't taking $10-$20 bucks a month of your Mobile bill?  Perhaps it isn't that easy to build an operationg system from the ground up for a phone that works as well as the iPhones?

I guess we know what price those unlocked iPhones are going to go for in France.  The question is, are they different from a hardware perspective?  Or can people who want carrier choice just buy a $399 iPhone at the Apple store and upload the new unlocked firmware?

Also, according to fortnighttv, tmobile users that have already purchased the iPhone can have theirs unlocked for free.

We'll bring you more reports as they develop...
