9to5 Mac provides the latest rumor about the next iPhone sporting a larger display. According to its source, Apple (AAPL) has two iPhone prototypes in testing that sport a 3.95" display with an 1136x640 resolution (the 4S' display has a 960x640 resolution), which indicates a wider aspect ratio.

Apple (AAPL) has ordered iPhone displays that measure at least 4", the WSJ reports, with production set to begin next month. With most rival high-end devices now sporting 4"+ displays, rumors (I, II, III) have abounded that the next iPhone will sport a larger screen size, but this is the most concrete one yet. Samsung's (SSNLF.PK) recently-announced Galaxy S III will feature a 4.8" display. [View news story]
i'm sure they invented the 4" display too. and everybody else that's had one for three years now is just copying them
If Canada proceeds in exploiting its vast oil sands reserves, it's "game over for the climate," James Hansen writes. Canada’s tar sands contain twice the amount of CO2 emitted by global oil use in all of history, he says; full exploitation plus continuing use of conventional energy sources "would assure that the disintegration of the ice sheets would accelerate out of control... Civilization would be at risk." [View news story]

In the disappointing jobs report, the most important statistic may have been the 63.6% labor participation rate, a 30-year low. Critics of the Obama administration are quick to seize on this as the “real” reason for the falling unemployment rate, but the downward trend has been happening for more than a decade as baby boomers have been retiring.

Republicans would like you to forget the problems are the result of eight years of republican mismanagement. Just imagine what they could do in another four years.
Nokia (NOK -6.4%) execs did their best to defend the company at its annual shareholder meeting in the face of crumbling sales, profits, market share, and debt ratings. But Robert Chmielinski is one investor who clearly isn't satisfied. He's filing a class-action suit against Nokia, alleging it misled investors by promising Windows Phone sales would strengthen its smartphone position. Nokia declares the suit to be without merit.

Target's (TGT) decision to stop selling Kindles was due to its unhappiness with being a mere showroom for Amazon's (AMZN) site, suggests the NYT. The decision comes months after Amazon's Price Check app, which encourages the showroom phenomenon, triggered a strong backlash. Piper's Gene Munster thinks Wal-Mart (WMT) is a far more important partner to Amazon than Target, given its higher store count and stronger rural presence. [View news story]
Nokia (NOK) will launch tablets and "hybrid" smartphone/tablet devices to bolster its slumping market position, says chairman Jorma Ollila.

Target (TGT) is halting sales of Amazon's (AMZN) Kindle line as of May 13 due to a "conflict of interest," per an internal memo.

If consumers want their PCs and mobile devices to sport similar user interfaces, Google (GOOG) might have a problem. While Microsoft (MSFT) is using its Metro UI to bridge Windows 8 and Windows Phone, and Apple (AAPL) is adding iOS elements to Mac OS X, Google's PC OS efforts have gone nowhere. Separately, Steve Wozniak (podcast) praises Nokia's (NOK) Lumia 900, and declares Windows Phone "more beautiful than the other platforms." [View news story]
