Pioneer has unveiled its new line of 5.1 channel A/V receivers, which should be rather attractive to audiophiles out there. The VSX-520-K ($229) and VSX-820-K ($299) both feature 3D ready for Blu-ray 3D with HDMI v1.4, as well as wireless Bluetooth transfers, allowing you to stream music directly from your Bluetooth-enable device. The VSX-820-K features the “Works with iPhone” certification, so you can pick this up with the confidence knowing that you shouldn’t have any problems hooking it up with your iPhone. Pre-orders for both these models are currently available at Amazon, and should be available at national and regional retailers from March 2010 onwards. In case you were wondering, both models are finished with a premium glossy black color. Press release.

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.

The development of the iPhone started in 2004, was internally called "project purple" and was the fruit of a collaboration between Apple and AT&T. Since then, Apple has released new iPhone models every year, with the iPhone 3G in July 2008, the iPhone 3GS in June 2009, the iPhone 4 in June 2010, the iPhone 4S in October 2011 and the iPhone 5 in September 2012. The iPhone represented more than half of Apple's revenues in 2012.
