iPhone 4!

WOOT! the fourth iPhone was announced today! XD i am TOTALLY getting one this fall when i come back to the states for college! this morning it was announced at WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference). there, steve jobs introduced a few of the new apps and features. the first thing he brought up was the three lines found around the body of the phone, this confused viewers both there and online. the three lines around the phone show the three parts to the antenna, so the actual case of the phone is the antenna! the iPhone also has a front facing camera as expected and is used for video calls. the back camera is a 5 megapixel camera, has a flash, has a new sensor to improve quality, and shoots HD video at 720p at 30 frames per second. the new hardware on the inside includes the new A4 processor and a bigger battery. the smaller graphics chip + the bigger batter = longer battery life! :D apple also added a new gyroscope to improve gaming experience, so now you can not only tilt your iphone to move something in a game, but turn it to get a different point of view ( its hard to explain, but watch the keynote at apples website for it to make more sense). the resolution was also upgraded to 4x what it was before! thats 326 pixels per inch! obviously since theres a new iPhone there is a new OS to come with it. introducing "iOS 4", the new operating system coming July 1st for the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad. this new OS comes with a ton of new features like, iMovie, folders, and FaceTime (the new video chat app for the iPhone). the 4th gen iphone comes out june 24th but is available for pre-order on the 15th.
i am TOTALLY getting an iPhone when i go to college! but since im goin back to Guam before i go, im probably gunna wait untill i get back in august to buy one. =/

The Iphone 3 is cheaper now and better in signal so you don't always have to have the latest gadgets.
What's this weeks app?
