iPhone 5 Pre-orders Hit 2 Million in 24 Hours, Sets New Record

It's no surprise: this is the phone we've been waiting for. Apple confirmed this morning that pre-orders of the upcoming iPhone 5 reached 2 million in just 24 hours. That number pushes the iPhone 4S pre-orders out of the top slot by nearly double. Apple also mentioned that some customers will be left behind as demand for the device is exceeding the supply.

Phil Schiller also had a bit to say about the iPhone 5 pre-orders in Apple's latest press release:

Apple Announces New iPod Lineup, 350 Million Sold to Date

Apple's media event at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco has offered up a new iPhone 5, release date information for iOS 6 and a preview of a new version of iTunes launching in October -- as well as new iPods.

Apple senior VP Greg Joswiak followed a demonstration of the new iTunes to announce 350 million iPods sold to date, calling it "the most popular music player of all time." However, some changes are in store for the aging iPod lineup, starting with the seventh-generation iPod nano.

"Let's start with the nano," Joswiak says. "We've had six generations of it. But we wanted to reinvent the nano -- we thought, what elements do we want to add?"

Report: Apple Buys Fingerprint Sensor Firm AuthenTec for $356 Million

Apple acquiring most any company would certainly be worthy of headlines, but a new report claims Cupertino is snatching up the creator of "award-winning smart fingerprint sensors" which could point to the company's future plans for digital payments.

Reuters filed the briefest of reports on Friday morning on Apple's plans to purchase AutenTec Inc. for "about $356 million." That amounts to an $8 per-share offer of the company, and "a premium of 58 percent over AuthenTec's Thursday close of $5.07."

Described as a company who "makes fingerprint sensor chips used in personal computers," AuthenTec's own fact sheet describes them as "a leading provider of mobile and network security."

"AuthenTec encryption technology, fingerprint sensors and identity management software are deployed by the leading mobile device, networking and computing companies, content and service providers, and governments worldwide," the fact sheet reveals.

Exactly what Apple's intentions might be with AuthenTec are unclear and neither company is saying, but it's not hard to imagine that Cupertino could incorporate the security firm's fingerprint technology into something like iOS 6's Passbook app or even the mobile OS as a whole to make the iPhone more secure than simply password or four-digit codes.

"AuthenTec's award-winning smart fingerprint sensors provide multiple touch-powered features that extend beyond user authentication to include convenience, personalization and touch control," the fact sheet concludes. "The Company's TouchChip area fingerprint sensors and modules comply with government and industry standards and offer the ruggedness, strong security and ease of integration needed for quick and broad deployment."

Ironically, AuthenTec's "top tier customers" include Apple smartphone rivals LG, Motorola Mobility, Nokia and Samsung.

Sprint Q2 2012 Not So Rosy, iPhone Sales Hang in There at Nearly 1.5 Million

By now we've heard quarterly results from almost everyone, but Sprint is saving the best for last -- probably because they have little to shout from the rooftops about yet again.

Sprint has released its Q2 2012 financials (PDF link) and the company has again posted an insanely large loss of $1.4 billion against $7.3 billion in total sales. That looks even more grim than it sounds when you consider the company lost $847 million in the same quarter last year.

But the company is choosing to look on the bright side, boasting about its mere 1.69 percent churn rate -- a record low for the third-place carrier.

LOL: Proview Sued by Law Firm Who Got Them $60 Million from Apple

If you've even casually followed the strange saga of Proview, the company who claimed to own the iPad trademark in China, you may see them as a fly-by-night. After reading this, you might think they're a bunch of deadbeats, too.

Engadget is reporting that Proview has failed to cough up fees to the attorneys who helped the near-bankrupt tech company win a $60 million settlement from Apple over the the trademark to the iPad name in China.

It seems the Grandall Law Firm, who covered Proview's legal fees in return for a four percent share of the settlement, is none too happy about being stiffed on its share of the $60 million payout -- so they're taking Proview to court in an effort to collect on the $2.4 million owed to them.

However, Proview founder Yang Rongshan says it's much ado about nothing, telling Sina Tech that the complaint is "nonsense," claiming the company, which has been knocking at death's door throughout the entire trademark spat with Apple, "isn't under normal operation right now."

Although Yang claims his company won't "pass the buck," it seems the matter may be settled in the same place where the iPad trademark was: the courtroom.

Kofax Document Management Services Breaks $1 Million in Revenue

"We Make FoIP Work!" I recently spoke with a vice president of engineering at a large enterprise-fax vendor. Our customer wanted to know if we had a program to establish interop certifications with IP carriers. Prior to that I had spoken with a product-management director at another large enterprise-fax server vendor (actually, our largest customer), and he wanted to know if we had a certification lab for various gateways. I didn't have good answers to either question. We just don't have the resources and scale to make a reasonable dent in the massive numbers ... More ›   Featured Product

- Alert) and Google) have or are working on releasing their own IPTV models. Google has actually had their internet connected television out for a few years, but has had a hard time getting a market for it. Apple is rumored to be getting ready to release their iTV later this year and that model could do for IPTV what the iPod did for music and the iPad did for mobile computing.

Research firm Global Industry Analysts, Inc. believes that by the end of 2017, there will be more than 557 million subscribers to IPTV around the world. The firm points out that even during the darkest days of the economic recession, from 2007-2009, the number of people who were picking up iPTV services was growing at a double digit rate.
