Here’s a new version of a rumor we reported in August: Hon Hai, parent company of Foxconn, won a share of the production contract with Apple for the release of the CDMA iPhone 4 in early 2011. Together with Hon Hai, Taiwanese company Pegatron will manufacture the device and it plans to ship 10 million units during 2011.

How To Setup A Home Surveillance System Using FaceTime
Run this script on your Mac when you leave the house, you can call your Apple ID from your iPhone 4 phone number. The script will auto answer the FaceTime call, allowing you to check in on things. When you hang up, FaceTime will quit, and the script will continue to listen for incoming calls. When you get home, stop the script and FaceTime will no longer auto-answer your calls.
Clever.
Rumor: The White iPhone 4 Has Been Canceled
Boy Genius Report claims that Apple has not only delayed the white iPhone 4, it’s been canceled:
According to a previous source of ours, we have been told that Apple in fact has no plans to release the white model iPhone 4. Our source hypothesizes another “delay” communicated around March leading us into an iPhone 5 release time-frame in June / July.
BGR also reports another delay will be announced in March. Truth be told, it makes sense. Why should Apple release “just a white model” a few months before the announcement of the iPhone 5 after all the manufacturing issues they had and they’re probably still having? To keep up with the promises they once made?
If the white iPhone 4 is just a color update and it’s got nothing more than that (ehm, Verizon), then it’s time to move on. On, as in iPhone 5.
Google Rolling Out App Store Search In Google Mobile
We woke up to an interesting new feature in Google Mobile this morning. We all know that finding apps in the App Store can be a little cumbersome, right? With 300,000 apps available, it may be a little complicated to find your way to the exact app you’re looking for. Read more
Apple Delays White iPhone Again Until Spring 2011
So there you have it. The white iPhone 4 is basically not coming at all, at least not as we know it. Reuters reports:
Apple Inc said on Tuesday that it would delay release of the white iPhone yet again, this time until next spring.
“We’re sorry to disappoint customers waiting for the white iPhone again,” Apple spokeswoman Trudy Muller said. When asked why the white phone would again be delayed, Muller declined to comment.
Ouch. The iPhone 5 is supposed to be announced by the same time next year. Or wait, maybe the “white iPhone 4” is going to become the “iPhone 5”, with an improved antenna design and the same “sandwich” look of the current model. And maybe a Verizon deal in there somewhere. Time will tell, as the wise men say. But unveiling a mid-generation iPhone in Spring is surely a strange move from Apple.
Linkie, Another iPhone App To Track Bit.ly Links. The One I’m Sticking With.
Last week I took a look at Clicks Count, a free iPhone app to keep track of bit.ly links posted by a Twitter account. By using the public bit.ly’s APIs, the app allows you to check on the clicks a link has received and nothing much, really. But it’s free, and I’m sure it’ll be just fine for many of you.
I, however, need more. I want mobile analytics and referrers. So I went digging in the App Store some more and found this other app, Linkie, which comes at a $0.99 but does everything I need. So I’m sticking with it. Read more
Delibar for iPhone Syncs Bookmarks In The Cloud - Review & Giveaway
I don’t really save bookmarks anymore like I used to, but I know hundreds of thousands of users out there save any kind of content every day on popular services like Delicious, Pinboard and historio.us. I’m out of the bookmarking game, maybe because my browser’s address bar became so smart I can type a few characters and get back to that post I needed. Or maybe because I save the stuff I want as starred items in Google Reader and faves in Twitter or then again, maybe I was just tired of bookmarking. Like I said, though, bookmarking services are far from dead, even if people like me stopped using them.
For this very reason you should welcome the release of Delibar for iPhone, which is, hands down, the best iOS app to access Delicious and Pinboard bookmarks. Read more

iM: Upcoming Instant Messaging App for iPhone That Looks Beautiful
Every instant messaging app for iPhone and iPad I’ve tried so far looks ugly and comes with a lot of features I don’t need. I just want a simple app that plugs into my iChat account and lets me chat with my buddies, I don’t need a full-featured, multi-service, multi-account, multi-godknowswhatelse ugly piece of software that comes with “unique custom wallpaper capabilities” and “exclusive Facebook chat integration”.
I want something simple, focused, beautiful and stable. So that’s why I’m looking forward to iM app: developed by Trevor Sheridan and Steve Itterly and designed by the talented Mathieu White, iM aims at becoming the ultimate solution for iPhone users who’ve always been disappointed by the state of instant messaging app on iOS.
