It’s not hard to imagine that the iPhone 5 will be thinner, we’re used to Apple making things thinner, and well, with the success of bigger screened phones, it would seem logical that iPhone 5’s display will venture north of the usual 3.5-inches. So today’s leak comes from guigsh on MacRumors forum, who claims to have taken a picture of the iPhone 5 at the office of a French operator yesterday. It certainly matches the dimensions we’ve seen before, but so does an iPhone 4 with a little stretching and squishing in Photoshop. So what do you think?

One of the new additions to the iPad 2, and all other iPad iterations after it, is the inclusion of a gyroscope something which has been inherited from the iPhone 4.

Simply, the gyroscope together with the device’s accelerometer improves motion sensing accuracy and allows the iPad to measure in which direction you are moving/rotating it in space (roll, pitch and yaw), how much and how fast.

In technical terms, a gyroscope is a device used to measure or maintain orientation, and it’s the former that’s of interest to us here.
