Notable News From the Tech World
Steve Jobs is on track to return from his six-month leave of absence at the end of June. No word yet if he’ll show up at next week’s WWDC, but if the company were to come out with an iPhone Video, as some are speculating, it would be a perfect “One More Thing…” for Jobs to introduce. Or maybe Apple will just cut the iPhone price to $99 or $149 and leave it at that.
