I just bought a Google Nexus One few months back, I was wanting to get an iPhone 3GS already but because of the release of Nexus One, I went for it. But so what, I still want an iPhone 4, but the problem is I don’t have the money to buy an iPhone 4. Haha.

Cut the crap. So Steve Job, my idol just announced the Apple iPhone 4 lately, also known as 4th generation of iPhone and it rocks in my opinion. The leaks with the stolen iPhone prototype that happened few weeks back by Gizmodo was in fact a real one. Although most of us had already knew about there will be a release of a new iPhone, but I still get excited felt surprised.

The design rocks with glass panel in front and back. The metal on the side is makes the phone look even more sleek and sexy and the thickness is less than 1cm! One of the surprised feature is Retina display. I’m pretty sure Apple made up the name, and it’s just screen with higher resolution. But the special part is the resolution is higher than all phone in the market.

The extra mic on top which works for noise canceling is nothing much special though.

Apple loves to talk about how they make their product. Their art of making, their idea, their technology, their engineered casing and everything. Although I’m not really interested, but I still support it. Fanboyish a bit already. The stainless steel on the side of the phone is actually an intergrated antenna for the phone for WiFi, GPS, GSM and everything. Good one.

Running on a Apple A4 Processor, same like the iPad, will it better than the powerful Snapdragon 1Ghz processor on other smartphones?

Camera of the new iPhone 4 has upgraded to a 5 megapixel camera with a LED flash. The best part of the camera is it has illuminated sensor which helps a lot to provide good quality photo in low light situation. This thing rocks, but somehow why not pack a 8 megapixel camera? It shoots HD  video too!

One very unexpected new hardware upgrade was the gyroscope. Last time, they were first with compass, then first with accelerometer and now they are first with gyroscope. Haha, the phone is now like the PlayStation 3 controller with Six Axis technology.

As for the software update on new iOS 4, they now called it the iOS instead of firmware, the very main features are Facetime, Multitasking that everyone was craving for and video editing with iMovie (download from App store) and lots more that you have to check out yourself when the new iOS 4 is available for download on June 21st. For the first time, it’s free for iPod touch too (unlike previous OS updates for iPod touch, user have to pay US$9.99 for it).

Now talk about why I want an iPhone, I need an pocket camera with HD video cam, I shoots short clip a lot, I need an iPod for myself, I’ve lost mine half a year ago (very sad) and I am an Apple fanboy. That’s conclude my reason for wanting an iPhone. Haha. Do you want one or stick with your whatever phone you are using now? and why?

iPhone 4 will be available in the US and few countries on June 24, pre-order starts June 15. While we in Malaysia, I predict it will be somewhere in September. So let’s wait.

wwdc by nicholaschan

Apple is so much supporting the HTML5 platform right now and it’s one of the new feature in Safari 5. Another feature that worth to check it out is the Safari Reader, it allows you to read online articles in a continuous, clutter-free view.

My 2 cents: Frankly, I seldom use Safari browser on my Mac. I only use Safari on the iPhone, I still prefer other browser like the Firefox because there’s more add-on which enhance my surfing experience. Do you use Safari?

PC Fair Dec 09: Maxis Broadband Free Windsheld Sunshade

IMG_5097 by nicholaschan.

It’s pretty interesting to see the Maxis Broadband Windshield Sunshade on the cars at PC Fair. They really spent a lot on marketing. I like the tag “My car is as cool as my blog”. Somehow, if you are choosing for a broadband, choose smart. You should check out my speedtest at PC Fair. =)
