Apple Q3 earnings call on July 24 -- will Mountain Lion follow on July 25?
Apple has announced that the Q3 earnings call (April - June, 2012) will be held on July 24. This is important for two reasons: first, the world will get to hear how well the company did over the past three months and second, last year Apple released Lion the day after the Q3 earnings call. While the company can pretty well call the shots on when it releases the next version of Mac OS X, if Apple follows last year's lead, we might see Mountain Lion in general release on July 25. This, of course, meets the "end of July" deadline for the release of the latest cat. As always, TUAW will hold a metaliveblog during the event for commentary and analysis.

Tim Cook: Apple focusing more on iPad for enterprise
Pretty chipper news all over for Apple shareholders during today's earnings call. Head honcho Tim Cook even took the time to highlight some sunny numbers for the iPad over on the enterprise side of things. According to the CEO, 94 percent of Fortune 500 companies have deployed or are testing the tablet. That number is at 74 percent amongst the Global 500. Apple, naturally, is looking to push that number even higher. Says Cook, "We're shifting our focus here to penetration in enterprise," adding that the device is "the most broad-based product I've seen in my entire career in terms of enterprise adoption."
Tim Cook hates litigation, not quite ready to call a patent truce
Tired of the ongoing patent wars? Well, Tim Cook gave us some reason to hope. In response to a question about the potential for settlements in the current pile of lawsuits on the company's plate, the CEO seemed open to the idea. In fact, he used the "h" word to describe is feelings towards the process. "I've always hated litigation. I continue to hate it," he said, before striking a slightly more combative tone to clarify, "I just want people to invent their own stuff." So there you go, stop stealing Apple's inventions and its lawyers won't sue. Seems simple enough. The urge to avoid further legal tussles seems genuine though, saying that, if an acceptable agreement could be struck he'd "highly prefer to settle rather than battle."

Dell wants in on ARM server field, says software still has some maturing to do
While the company wouldn't reveal specific plans, Dell did say it's interested in entering the server arena with an ARM-based product. Earlier this year HP debuted its first ARMv8-powered server, but Dell seems to think the launch was a tad rushed. As it said during the Q&A session of its earnings call today, CEO Michael Dell said the company had "been experimenting with making an ARM server for over a year ... but the software stack just isn't mature enough yet." It is, however, intrigued and sees "some interesting opportunities emerging."
Nintendo officially announces Nintendo Network, promises personal accounts for Wii U
Nintendo's third quarter financial briefing just spilled the beans on the recently spied Nintendo Network, causing Nintendo fans everywhere to collectively sigh, "It's about time." Company head honcho Satoru Iwata says the network will offer "competitions and communication among users, as well as the sales of digital content," and in the case of the Wii U, will introduce personal user accounts. Iwata stopped just short of confirming that the Nintendo Network will end the company's policy of tying downloaded titles to Nintendo hardware, rather than individual users, but mentioned that it packed an infrastructure that supports not only add-on content, but fully downloadable retail games as well."This concept was built into the design of the Nintendo 3DS, and we already have the necessary infrastructure," Iwata said, "We will prepare the same infrastructure for the Wii U. However, we have not decided the concrete timing of when we will start it." Iwata pointed to Mario Kart 7's community building features and DLC offerings in the upcoming Theatrythm Final Fantasy as an early look at how the Nintendo Network is trying differentiate itself from the outfit's existing Nintendo Wi-Fi connection services.

US Cellular announces intent to switch to tiered data, LTE still on track for November
Oh, how the mighty fall one by one. US Cellular, in its Q2 earnings call, stunned the mobile world by announcing that it expects to follow the lead of Verizon and AT&T by moving to a tiered data pricing structure within the next two to three quarters. No details were given on pricing or data limits, though it's quite possible the particulars are getting fleshed out as we speak. The regional carrier also indicated that its 4G rollout is still on track for November, with one LTE-compatible smartphone scheduled to launch at roughly the same time. Is it a coincidence that the new data pricing scheme would become effective within a similar timeframe? Hard to say, but we're continuously reminded on all fronts that the era of all-you-can-eat data is quickly coming to a depressing close; it looks like we won the battle for faster mobile broadband, but it didn't come without a fair amount of bloodshed.
Apple Q3 2011 financial call set for July 19
In what will no doubt be yet another call to highlight increased sales across the board (well, maybe, iPod sales appear to be falling) and yet more record profits, Apple has sent out a press release informing us that their third quarter 2011 fiscal year conference call will happen next week, Tuesday, July 19, 2011, 2:00 p.m. PDT/5:00 p.m. EDT. We'll have our usual liveblog extravaganza during the live call, but we won't be in the room so we can't ask questions like, "When the is iPad 3 shipping?" and other nonsensical queries to the tight-lipped Cupertino company. Check out the full press release below. Of course, Q2 ushered in the iPad 2, but the third quarter will be the first full quarter to enjoy the spoils of that success. May saw the release of iMacs with Thunderbolt, although I'd say most consumers didn't jump on an iMac for that reason, and then there was the new Time Capsule and Airport Extreme Base Station (which only we geeks were really keeping tabs on since there was very little difference from the previous version).
