New details on the iPhone 5 surface

According to new speculation and insiders, Apple will keep with its iPhone 4S scheduling and release the iPhone 5 this fall. But will it really time the launch so close to a potential iTV debut?

The iPhone 4S isn’t quite as shiny and new as it was a mere month ago, and in the wake of its now-normalcy come new iPhone 5 rumors. Up until now we’ve been able to gather that the next-gen iPhone will sport a new design, larger display, and that it might be a 4G capable.
Now BGR says it has inside information that the iPhone 5 will be launched in the fall of 2012, and that the new phone will not only have a different look but a different feel. According to the site’s sources, the next iPhone will have “rubber or plastic” material built into its case as a new take on the device’s bezel. This will accompany a new aluminum back plate and new antenna system.
Until this point, we’ve heard that the iPhone 5 would be released earlier than the iPhone 4S was, perhaps sticking to Apple’s original summer launch schedule. But if BGR is right, that means Apple might have an incredibly busy third quarter. We heard yesterday that the Apple iTV is supposed to debut in the second or third quarter of 2012, which makes us a bit dubious about this roadmap. The iTV and iPhone 5 launches will be huge, chaos-creating events that the media and consumers will revolve around for weeks. Lump these closely and Apple risks cannibalizing some of that attention.
Of course there will be some consumers that have to choose between an iTV and iPhone 5 – although we’d predict favor would heavily fall to the handset. We don’t expect these two products to launch side-by-side or share the spotlight, and maybe that means we’ll see the iPhone 5 a little earlier than predicted.
As far as the design news goes, the iPhone 5’s form factor has been all over the place since day one. The tear-drop shape rumors persist, and now we can add rubberized bezel and aluminum back plate to the list. It would be a pretty large jump from the current design Apple has follow, and one we can already imagine hearing complaints about.

Sideload apps on a NOOK Tablet with OS 1.4.1 (no root required)

Update: It’s also now possible to upgrade from OS 1.4.0 to B&N NOOK Tablet OS 1.4.1 while rooting the tablet. 
The Barnes & Noble NOOK Tablet is designed to let you download and install third party apps from the B&N shop, but shortly after the tablet was released users noticed that they could also install apps from other sources and even install competing app stores such as the Amazon Appstore and Google Android Market.
Then B&N rolled out software version 1.4.1 and suddenly it got harder to sideload apps that didn’t come from the B&N shop. But it’s not impossible.
Xda-developers forum member Indirect noticed that while you can’t simply download and install an Android APK installer on your tablet anymore, you can still use the Android Debug Bridge (adb) utility to push apps from a computer to your tablet.
This will probably only work if you already added support for third party apps and/or rooted the tabletbefore your NOOK was upgraded to OS 1.4.1. While the software update removes root access and kills the simplest methods for sideloading, it doesn’t wipe all of your files and settings.
Using the NOOK Tablet Sideload tools
1. Download Indirect’s latest script from the xda-developers forum.
2. Unzip the files to a folder on your computer. For this tutorial I’m going to pretend you put the files in a directory called c:\sideload\
3. Put the APK installer file you want to load on your tablet in the same directory.
4. Open a command prompt and navigate to that directory.

• On a Windows computer you can do this by opening the start menu and typing “cmd” (without quotes) into the run box.
• Then type “cd /” to get to the root directory.
• Next type “cd sideload” to enter the new directory with your files.

5. Connect your NOOK Tablet to your computer with a USB cable.
6. Type “adb install name_of_app.apk” and the utility should push the file to your tablet and install it. For instance, to install Titanium Backup, I typed adb install TitaniumBackup_latest.apk”
This method isn’t quite as easy as using the Android Market or Amazon Appstore on your tablet, but it does let you sideload apps on a tablet that’s running OS 1.4.1, even without root access.
If you’d like to downgrade to OS 1.4.0 so that you can root the tablet and install the Android Market, you can do that — but the process involve performing a factory reset so you’ll lose data and settings.
How to Restore to NOOK Tablet 1.4.0
1. Download the NOOK Tablet stock recovery file from AdamOutler’s xda-developers forum thread.
2. Place it on the root directory of a microSD card and plug it into your tablet.
3. Shut down your NOOK Tablet and restart it to restore to factory default condition with OS 1.4.0.
Once you’ve done that, you may want to check out our guides for rooting the tablet and blocking future software updates to make sure you don’t lose root access.
