The 20-page PDF closes with this:
Each component of the iOS security platform, from hardware to encryption to device access, provides organizations with the resources they need to build enterprise-grade security solutions. The sum of these parts gives iOS its industry-leading security features, without making the device difficult or cumbersome to use.
iLounge editor Jeremy Horwitz seems convinced that Apple is working on a stand-alone digital camera. On Twitter, he wrote:
So, as briefly noted on Backstage, Apple appears to be working on a standalone camera - the third of three industries Jobs wanted to change.
These days, it seems like fewer and fewer people carry a dedicated, small standalone camera. While there is still plenty of space of DSLRs in the market, point-n-shoots have been replaced by smartphones for many.

The hard-working Chronic-Dev Team has announced that just over one million users have jailbroken their iOS devices with Greenpois0n Absinthe 2.0. That’s impressive, considering the jailbreak was released just three days ago.
I used to jailbreak my iPhone, but haven’t felt the “need” in years, especially with iOS 5. Why do people continue to do this?
The lack of a Mac Pro update until this point is slightly suspicious, but not cause for much concern. I’m guessing that Apple’s holding back the Mac Pro until USB 3 debuts in the MacBook Pro, a Retina Thunderbolt Display is available, or Mountain Lion is released. If we don’t have a new Mac Pro by the end of the summer, I’ll start to be worried for its future.
On this week’s 512 Podcast, I take Myke through the history of Apple’s stand-alone displays and video connectors.
Panic has joined — and topped — Apple and Adobe on the “Top Grossing” list on the Mac App Store:
Then Apple came out with the iPod mini, which later became the iPod nano, capturing another segment of the market. That release was followed up by the iPod shuffle, again capturing another segment of the market.
It was changes in technologies that allowed these products to be released, but I believe Apple had planned the releases all along.
When you look at a 7-inch iPad, or any other Apple product, don’t look at how it affects its competitors, but rather how it fits into Apple’s product strategy. Doing that will make things a lot clearer.
Coming soon with liquid cooling!
(If you ever wonder why Apple switched to Intel, it’s because of this.)
Harry Mccracken got an email from Digitimes’ deputy managing editor, after criticizing the publication last week. In it, the editor (Joseph Chen) writes:
Digitimes has indeed reported much on Apple, and many of the products that we said would be launched have never been launched, or have had their launches delayed. But that does not mean that we were crying wolf or passing along gossip. In fact, Apple have a lot of its R&D projects and ideas tried out at its supply chain partners in Asia. Many of the prototypes created by the supply chain partners will never make it to the market after Apple’s assessments. This is one of the major reasons why a lot of the information we have disclosed has been seen by others as inaccurate, but is still valuable to our reader base in the supply chain. We understand the risks behind the kind of reporting we have been doing.
