Further rumours suggesting that the Asus factory is expanding by an area the size of Wales every day to accommodate Asus’s massive and growing product line are said to be wide of the mark…

Does the iPhone have GPS built in?
For heaven’s sake. Now that the iPhone’s release date has been confirmed as 29th June, you’d think the online gossiphounds would have taken a week off.
Top 10 rumours that might do an Apple / Engadget on other tech firms
Poor Apple. One blog post about an iPhone delay based on a faked internal memo, and $4bn is wiped off its stockmarket value. Which has to make you wonder, what in God’s name will happen to Apple’s share price if the iPhone turns out to be rubbish? It’s a thought.
Another thought: could this happen to other tech firms? What sort of crazy rumour would send Microsoft’s stock diving, for example, or grind Sony’s share price into the dust? Weeell….
