While the world waits to find out what the fifth-generation iPhone looks like, TechCrunch reports an anonymous app developer has pulled information from their registration logs confirming the existence of a new device that’s rocking both CDMA and GSM radios. That conclusion is based on registrations that came from the same device that show mobile network codes and mobile country codes from both AT&T and Verizon. This is hardly shocking however, since the Verizon iPhone 4 already has a dual mode chipset from Qualcomm with the GSM side turned off, and we’d heard back in January that Apple was planning to go the one-size-fits-all route this time around. Who this does matter for however, could be world travelers that will find keeping their device connected between countries and networks much easier with a world iPhone , whenever the new phone is revealed later this year.

The library said Monday the work is one of some 70 to be returned to the party on Aug. 31. The Social Democratic Party was banned in 1933 after Hitler came to power. Activists from the party continued to oppose the Nazis. Many were persecuted or killed for their activities.
