Apple’s done quite well for itself with the iPhone. They’ve moved millions upon millions of the heralded handset, and they’re rolling in revenue-dough. Now there’s a report, from the Chinese-language Economic Daily News, that Apple has reduced its Q2 iPhone orders from 2 million to 1.0-1.2 million – about half the expected amount of Q1…

Palm closing its stores?
Palm has certainly known for better times. Back in the days when they’ve launched the first Treo, they were shining like no many companies have. Things are way more different nowadays.

HTC Touch coming to Verizon in March?
HowardForums’ member “hekidnappedher” posted an intriguing series of HTC Touch hands-on photos. The trick is that the device he’s using has a Verizon branding, giving us a hint we’ll see it released by the CDMA carrier in the near future.
