Now that we are very close to the year end, Macworld is just around the corner! We still don’t know for sure what Apple has up its sleeve for the annual Apple consumer expo. Here are some interesting tidbits in the Apple world :
- According to AppleInsider, Apple will adopt Intel’s UltraMobile PC (UMPC) platform for new devices. Apple will probably use Intel’s Silverthorne processor for new versions of the iPhone and maybe for the oft-rumoured tablet PC.
- Speaking of the iPhone, how many units have been sold so far? Expect Steve Jobs to announce it in January. With the iPhone selling (fairly) well in the US, UK, Germany and France, 9to5Mac predicts that Apple will announce 5 million units of iPhones sold.

Apple Inc has announced another solid round of financial results for the previous quarter. Macs are still selling well, despite the fact that Apple no longer has the word “Computer” in its name.

That’s still far away from their target of 10 million iPhones, but it’s a good start.
It’s update week at Apple. They have released a new update for the three iWork ’08 applications : Pages, Keynote and Numbers. All 3 updates address performance issues, among other things.
