While Apple unveiled iPhone 4S just a day before the Apple’s co-founder, Steve Jobs died, Samsung held back the launch of Google’s Nexus Prime (which was scheduled at Oct. 11) saying it is in memory of the computer genius.

Just a few doors down from the Apple store in Sydney, where a long line of fans eagerly awaited the sale of the new iPhone 4S, another throng was gathering at a Samsung store.

Samsung Nexus Prime is expected to be unveiled on October 19th, Wednesday in Hong Kong during which apart from the much anticipated smartphone, the consumers are also set to welcome the new operating system update, the Android Ice Cream Sandwich.

The iPhone 4S doesn't seem to have half as much charm as it should have had; the iPhone 5, it seemed, was what all the buzz should have been about! However, if that was the case, then what was the overcrowding outside stores all about?

There were rumors that Apple Inc. has sold 4 million units of iPhone 4S during the weekend but officially it is known that pre-orders reached 1 million mark.

Though Apple Inc. claims the new iPhone 4S' unlocked version will hit the stores only in November, reports suggest a contract-free iOS 5-powered device is already on sale.

Apple’s iPhone 4S, which released on Friday instead of an iPhone 5 nudged away most of the speculations developed around it for a while.

If rumors are to be believed, the countdown for the much-anticipated Motorola Droid RAZR has already started.

Samsung Electronics Co Ltd said on Monday that it has filed preliminary injunction motions in Australia and Japan requesting the courts stop the sale of Apple Inc's iPhone 4S in an escalating legal battle between the two technology giants.

Apple was able to dodge concerns that its new iPhone 4S underwhelmed as anticipation leaned towards a new iPhone 5, but record sales is reassuring not only Apple, but Sony.

This appears to be more than just another Apple iPhone 5 rumor. This appears to be more than just a play on publicity surrounding Steve Jobs' death. It shapes up to make perfect sense, that Jobs, the late, great innovator who co-founded Apple, served as the company's long-time CEO, and changed the world of consumer devices, was working on Apple's next big thing before he died -- the iPhone 5.

After talking much about Siri, it is time we scanned the camera of Apple's recently released iPhone 4S.

Jobs, who had recently resigned as Apple's CEO, is known as one of the world's all-time great innovators.In honor of Jobs and Steve Jobs Day, being recognized today in California, here are some famous Steve Jobs quotes about himself, Apple, and the world around him.

All indications are that the most qualified guesses about the Apple iPhone 5 -- which were made before the company's Let's talk iPhone event earlier this month, when the iPhone 4S was unveiled and not the iPhone 5 -- may have been right.

Siri is a feature of the iPhone 4S that some have only imagined in their wildest dreams.

California governor, Jerry Brown, declared Friday that Oct. 16 is Steve Jobs Day. Apple will also be holding a private memorial service Sunday at Stanford University for its founder.
