Apple thinking of Acquiring TomTom
Well, after the incident on Monday regarding the Australian Police saying that using Apple Maps could be potentially “life threatening” I don’t blame them. TomTom has been around for a while, and they’re also one of Apple’s main partners in providing data to its Maps App. Robabobank analyst Hans Slob went on to say today that, “there is a 30 percent chance Apple seeks to takeover TomTom in trying to make quicker improvements to its controversial new Maps app” “TomTom needs the cash from Apple, and Apple needs the know-how of TomTom,” according to Slob, estimates are that Apple would be willing to pay a price of as much as 10 euros per share for the supplier.

LEAKED iPhone 5S Images
Could this be part of the new iPhone 5S? Ok, well maybe they’re not the photo’s you’re looking for, but thy are photos nonetheless. The folks over at electronista were the first to encounter the photos today. The only real depictable differences from the images are the repositioned screw holes for the logic board. If the image is in fact that of a new part, (not a discarded prototype) then it’s likely that the iPhone 5s will be less different than the iPhone 4s was to the iPhone 4. At the same time, I shouldn’t speak to soon, I’m simple talking about design after all, not hardware or anything else.
