The carrier revealed the information in a presentation given at this week's Macworld Asia. A slide shown by the carrier, spotted by Macotakara, displays the evolution of the iPhone, from the first-generation model in 2007 onward.

No photo or details on the iPhone 5 are provided, except for a mention that it will access HSPA+ networks, which have theoretical maximum download speeds of 21Mbps.

This is a video and song I made for Sony Ericsson as part of their Ambassador scheme. In exchange for first glimpses of new products and cool prizes, I get to make fun videos like this one which demonstrates how I use my Sony Ericsson Arc everyday.

To those who don't work in the mobile phone industry or know nothing of the Sony Ericsson Ambassador Scheme, this video will probably seem pointless, but I had a great time making it and recording the song.

If you're a fan of Sony Ericsson products, or if you already own an Arc or even if you're just a phone geek, I hope you enjoy this video.

And before I get any comments about how you don't like the Arc or how you think other phones are better, I'd like to remind you that the point of this video is not to say how the Sony Ericsson Arc is better than any other phone, its just my personal favourite so don't try to tell me that my choice of phone is wrong.

Also, I acknowledge that I don't own the rights to the song 500 miles by The Proclaimers, I purposefully re-recorded the song from scratch on Garageband in a different key to the original and re-wrote the lyrics.

34% of iPhone owners are convinced that they have 4G

uite popular misconception is user confidence that their device has a certain non-obvious feature, which, in reality, this model does not.

Prime candidates for being an over-priced are BlackBerry smartphones and iPhone, as well as numerous devices with Android on board. Representatives of the research agency Retrevo analyzed the U.S. market and have become convinced that it is. According to them, most of the confusion in the minds of users of iPhone. According to the survey, 34% of the owners of vehicles from Apple for some reason, believe that they have phone support fourth-generation network. Most probably confusing what the market there is a model iPhone, 4, and many tend to believe that four does not mean the fourth model, and support for fourth generation mobile networks.
Does not contribute to the understanding and the accuracy of the definition of 4G given by the operators. While the "real" fourth-generation standards - WiMAX and LTE do correspond to 4G, and there is 3.5G, which is sometimes marketed as "fourth generation".
As a result, not only the owners are confused about the iPhone 4. 24% of the owners of BlackBerry also assured that their unit is compatible with 4G, despite the fact that among the models from RIM there were none. Somewhat more complicated situation with the Android-smartphone. Some of these devices actually support WiMAX and LTE network, but there is much less than confident that the support of 4G is present. These users 29%, despite the fact that smart phones with Android and 4G market is relatively small, since the sale began not so long ago.
