Rumors Say Apple Tablet Delayed Apple Gets iPhone OK in South Korea Steep Mac Discounts Seem Unlikely Would You Pay for iPhone with Ads? Psystar Loses Mac OS X Challenge Apple Plans To Expand Retail Stores There have been so many rumors of an Apple tablet that it has taken on legendary status. But now the legend is being revised with reports of a delay and that a major publisher is getting ready. Apple will soon begin offering its iPhones through carriers in South Korea. It has been granted the license it needed from the Korea Communications Commission in the homeland of LG and Samsung. Apple rumors are always the most popular during the holiday season. With Black Friday coming, the rumor mill is hinting that Apple is about to offer super-steep discounts on iPods and iMacs. Apple has applied to patent technology that could bring ads to any device with a screen. But it is hard to imagine how this would not have a negative effect on the company's brand. Apple has won its lawsuit against Psystar, which sold Mac OS X in Mac clone computers. The decision is expected to let Apple argue copyright infringement against future EULA violators. Apple is opening a new retail store on New York's Upper West Side and plans 40 to 50 new stores in 2010. The first 2,500 visitors to the new store will receive a limited edition, commemorative T-shirt. FULL STORYFULL STORYFULL STORYFULL STORYFULL STORYFULL STORY
