I recently discovered a neat little "trick" on my iPad (and iPhone): I've stumbled upon a way to listen to music streaming from Internet radio stations while I do "other things," like check my email, take photos, or write text messages.

Michael Arrington of TechCrunch published a post Friday, titled The Truth: What’s Really Going On With Apple, Google, AT&T And The FCC. It is—in my opinion—a fairly insightful piece, particularly regarding his analysis of Apple's seemingly misleading wording behind their reasons for "not approving" the Google Voice app for inclusion in the App Store.

John Gruber recently published a characteristically insightful piece about the Verizon iPhone rumors in the press earlier this week. Speaking to rumors of what Business Week has called the "iPhone Lite," Gruber revisits Apple's introduction of the iPod Mini, which was the event that turned the iPod from a single product into a product family.

At least, that's what Richard Wray and Bobbie Johnson of the Guardian conclude:

BusinessWeek is carrying a story by Spencer E. Ante and Arik Hesseldahl, claiming familiarity with talks between Apple and Verizon regarding some upcoming "iPhone-like" products.

I've been eagerly following news about Palm's upcoming Pre smartphone. Even though I am not presently planning to pick one up for myself (for starters, there's no way in hell I'm signing up for Sprint service), I'm quite excited about this new contender in the smartphone market.

In contrast with the spirit of yesterday's link to Designing Convertbots application comes news of the confirmed continuation of effort to bring Microsoft Office to the iPhone.

That's what the iPhone Dev-Team are promising. Let's see.

I'm going to call my prediction a bust.

So here's the very first of what I'm sure will be many Apple announcement predictions I shall make on Uncarved.

William Hurley, author of the Evil Genius blog, recently published a post, titled Five Reasons Apple Should Open Source The iPhone. Despite the title, however, he never actually directly argues that the Apple should open source iPhone's software.
