Apple ditching iPhone embedded SIM plans?
Well, it looks like Apple has nixed its plans to build the next iPhone with embedded SIM cards after the carriers cried out, “Bloody murder,” according to reports.
As you may know, Apple was reportedly working with Gemalto for the next generation iPhone to have integrated SIM cards which could be flashed to work on different carriers. The upshot of this for Apple is that it could take control of the retail experience with many of its own retail stores.

Recently a YouTube video was uploaded showing what is supposedly Sony Ericsson’s X7 and X7 Mini smartphones, both running Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 mobile operating system. If the information is to be believed, then the X7 will sport a 4.3 inch screen, be powered by a 1.2 GHz Qualcomm MSM8260 processor, have an 8.1 megapixel camera that can record 720p video, and even support HDMI, which is something that as far as we knew is not supported by the OS. Then there’s the X7 Mini, which uses the older 1 GHz Qualcomm QSD8250 processor found in such devices such as the Google Nexus One and a wide variety of Android devices currently on the market, has a 10.1 megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom and a full blown Xenon flash. It too does video in 720p.
