In its description of iPhone OS 3.1.2, Apple makes no mention of a fix for reported battery reduction in iPhone OS 3.1. In September, the AppleCare help desk contacted some iPhone customers who reported shortened battery life after upgrading to iPhone OS 3.1, presumably to examine the problem.

Adsense leaks Apple’s iMac,Macmini and macbook

There were rumours of Apple reading a refreshed iMac line which could be more affordable for the users.is weekend, Google AdSense further confirmed these suspicions as users in the Netherlands were treated to some ads for new iMacs, MacBooks, and Mac minis.The ads point to a dead link at the Apple Store, and according to Google Translate they read:

"Apple's Newest MacBook. Thinner, lighter and faster! Free delivery. Order today," "The Brand new iMac. Ultra Thin 20 & 24 inch models. From only €1099 (roughly $1,063). Apple Store," and "Apple's New Mac mini. Faster and more affordable than ever. From only € 499 ($723). Order immediately."

That would be €100 (or $145) less than the cheapest Mac mini that is currently on the Netherlands online store.) This seems to be for real.The Netherlands-based Google Ad Sense ads, which can be seen below along with their Dutch to English translations, cropped up on Google.nl earlier this weekend and direct shoppers to the localized version of the Apple Store, where the advertised products are not available.

The new offerings are also expected to be accompanied by redesigns of the company’s Mighty Mouse and Apple Remote, as well as aluminum wireless keyboards.Here are the English translations of the ads.
