iPhone Launching on Three More U.S. Regional Carriers on May 18
May 9th
Following last month’s launch of the iPhone 4 and 4S on five new regional U.S. carriers, it appears that at least 3 more U.S. carriers are set to begin offering the iPhone on May 18th. Each of the new carriers operates on CDMA networks (like Sprint).
The following three carriers have already announced that they’ll begin carrying the iPhone on 18th (via MacRumors):
- Bluegrass Cellular (Kentucky)
- Golden State Cellular (California)
- Nex-Tech Wireless (Kansas)
There may be additional regional carriers included as well. As usual with regional carriers, each of these three providers will be offering iPhones at $50 less than the three major carriers, with the iPhone 4 starting at $49 and the iPhone 4S starting at $149.
Regional carriers such as these typically offer much lower prices for voice and data, but only offer their services to customers in specific locations.

The iOS-ification of the Web
May 9th
Much has been written about the iOS-ification of Mac OS, but what about the iOS-ification of the Web?
It began with features from iOS slowly migrating into OS X on the desktop — like LaunchPad, gestures, reverse scrolling and sandboxing (which arrived in OS X 10.7 Lion) and it continues with Notifications, Messages, Reminders, and Notes which will arrive this summer in OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
It appears that Apple might be taking its iOS features to a completely new frontier — the Web browser.
MacRumors and 9to5Mac both reported sightings of what appear to be an iOS-like notification banner while browsing iCloud.com from a desktop Web browser.
The notification (pictured above) simply reads “Default Title for English- This is a test message description” and appears to be a test of a possible future iCloud status notification and most likely an extension of Notification Center which arrived in iOS 5 and is slated to arrive on the desktop in OS X 10.8 (”Mountain Lion”) in late summer 2012.
9to5Mac notes that the icon in the notification banner is the icon Apple uses to signify troubleshooting, help, and system status.
While such a feature isn’t unrealistic (in fact, it feels like a natural evolution of Notification Center) it shows how far Apple’s iOS features have come.
