Having looked at all the rumours circulating around the internet, I thought that I'd try to give you all a lowdown on the iPhone 5's rumours and release date.
1.) Smaller and thinner- As with all the iPhones and iTouches, they are slowly getting thinner. This rumour is no surprise to most of us and will almost certainly happen.
2.) Camera improvements- I personally would hope that the new iPhone boasts an 8 megapixel camera and 1080p video filming.
3.) NFC- For those of you who don't know what this is, it's a method of payment where you charge things to your phone, exchange digital content and connect wireless devices. The iPhone will probably not support the technology, opting to wait to see if it's a passing fad or not. I hope they do support it, as it's an invaluable tool for payment, and a subject on which I will probably be doing a blog post.
4.) IOS 5
The new operating system doesn't have any major changes, apart from the ability to shoot better pictures and videos.
5.) iPhone 5 Pro
It's the rumour that never goes away. Could this be the year that they announce a Macbook style split for the iPhone and iPhone pro? I hope so!

Facebook's f8 conference is coming up- so what will it change?
Facebook's annual f8 conference is coming up- so what needs to be changed on the social networking site?
a.) The chat bar- Facebook's chat bar has been the source of much dispute. The current chat bar that runs up the right side of your screen is seen by many to be 'gilding the lily' i.e: Over-complicating an item which is already very good. In my opinion, the old chat bar was easier to use. Facebook will need to address this.
b.) Facebook places- A step too far in connecting people? Many see it as being 'stalkerish', and I personally agree with the critics
c.) The general look- Facebook just (and I mean about 45 minutes ago) revamped its look. There are multiple problems with this. First of all, it's a pain to look at on netbooks, as you'll have to use the dumbed down mobile version.
d.) Music and media- Facebook have leaked that a media platform will be announced at the f8, along with a music compatability. If done tastefully, it should look like iTunes' Ping, a music networking site which is very well designed, though not particularly popular.
e.) A Facebook IPO- This is a bold statement, but Zuckerberg must consider a flotation, after the phenomenal success of Reid Hoffman's LinkedIn. It probably won't happen for years, but I'd put my money on it happening eventually.
