Steve Jobs on iOS Location Issue: ‘We Don’t Track Anyone’
Take this bit of news with a grain of salt. According to this report, someone apparently emailed Steve Jobs inquiring about the whole tracking issue and got a short but direct response from the Apple CEO: “We don’t track anyone. The info circulating around is false.” It sounds like him, but there’s really no way we can verify this. I guess the only way we’ll find out what Apple’s true position is on the matter is when they finally release on official statement on the matter. And truth is, that might not even happen at all.

TELUS 72-hour sale lowers BlackBerry Bold 9700 to $0.00 on 1-year
Yes, Telus’ 72-hour sale is back. However, unlike their previous 3-day sales, this one just has 2 handsets available for $0 when you sign-up on a contract: the Motorola Milestone and the BlackBerry Bold 9700. Not much to choose from, but hey, those are pretty good devices, and you can’t go wrong with either of the two.

Pictures Of iPhone 5 / iPhone 4S With Edge-to-Edge Display Leaked In China?
This looks like your typical white iPhone, but pay close attention to its display and you’ll notice that it’s much larger than the one out in the market right now. According to the guys who leaked this image, this is the iPhone 4S, Apple’s next gene iPhone. It’s still not clear though if this is just a prototype or the actual model itself, but factoring in the rumor that production will only begin sometime in July or August, we’re leaning more on the former rather than the latter. Unless, of course, this is just a well crafted KIRF, which we’re hoping it’s not.

Nokia C7 heading to Videotron this month
Already available on Wind, the Nokia C7 is also headed to Videotron in Canada. This full-touchscreen packs a 3.5-inch display, an 8-megapixel camera, WiFi, and runs on Symbian^3. It’s also one of the few new Nokia handsets that will be eligible for a Symbian Anna upgrade once it becomes available. No word on its pricing yet, but it’s expected to be announced this month.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA Mini Pro II shows up in a full photoshoot
It’s been a while since we last talked about the purported X10 Mini Pro successor, and though a bunch of its other leaked Android siblings are now official, this one still isn’t. It has starred in another photoshoot though. This time around, it poses side-by-side with the X10 Mini Pro. Size-wise, it looks slightly bigger despite sporting a much larger touchscreen (3-inch vs 2.55-inch), a juicier battery (1200mAh vs 930mAh), and a roomier QWERTY keypad. More on this soon, hopefully once it’s made official already.
