According to a report by DigiTimes, Apple has lowered the shipment volumes of iPhone 4 ahead of release of the next generation iPhone, that is expected to go into mass production in August, and release in September. Next generation iPhone, dubbed as “iPhone 4S” will carry GSM and CDMA chipsets by Qualcomm and a eight-megapixel rear camera instead of five-megapixel found on iPhone 4.

Due to an inventory volume of 1.5-2 million units of iPhone 4 and the launch of iPhone 4S planned as early as September 2011, Apple has lowered its expected shipment volume of iPhone 4 for the second quarter of 2011 from 20 million units, to 17.5-18 million units consisting of 16 million units of the 3G version and 1.5-2 million units of the CDMA version, according to Taiwan-based supply chain makers.

In addition to eight-megapixel camera as indicated in this report, next generation iPhone is also expected to sport A5 Dual-Core chip, a tweaked iPhone 4 design, and more.

We reported a couple of days ago about a patent that revealed Apple’s plans to integrate voice recognition technology into its iPhone that will allow users to convert their text into voice (and vice versa) and send it on the call. We also indicated that apart from that, this kind of feature can be used in several other things to make your mobile life easier. Now a Youtube user has uploaded a nice video demonstrating this technology and how it can be implemented in other apps. Watch the video embedded above to see this awesome technology in action.

Yesterday at HP’s Think Beyond event former Palm CEO Jon Rubenstein while introducing HP’s new mobile phones (HP Pre 3 and super tiny HP Veer) and an iPad look alike tablet TouchPad displayed an image that represented a poll conducted by Laptop Magazine’s OS Bowl boasting, “Yesterday, Laptop Magazine voted us the champion of the OS Bowl.”.

Frankly i am unable to understand that on what bases webOS was crowned the ‘Champion OS’ despite having the smallest market share, and was able to beat the bigger and much more popular players such as iOS and Android.

A tweaker named Eugene373 has been able to run Radio in Moto CLIQ as he was trying to run LG ROM on his Moto Cliq he noticed that with a bit of twiddling, it was possible to force the CLIQ to use the LG ROM’s radio APK files to boot up an as-yet unused and undocumented FM radio on the Motorola Android phone.

At present, it will not work on the standard build. In order to get it up and running a lot of work still needs to be done but we guess we will soon get the good news.

Note that Moto CLIQ is known as DEXT in Europe.

What they have done is that they have added a projector at the back of there upcoming phone named LG ‘EXPO’ that makes it capable of projecting images, videos, games and everything on the wall next to you.

This would obviously change the way we use mobile phones to a great extent.

When not required, the device can be detached. LG ‘EXPO’ Windows Mobile phone is also powered by the powerful 1Ghz Snapdragon processor.
