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 iPhone 4 failed during demo on Retina Display when wanted to surf New York Times website. The Wifi connection couldn’t be connected and after switching to 3G network, it’s the same, slow. FAILED?

Steve Jobs and Apple still rocks though.

Apple Reinvents Video Calling with FaceTime


wwdc by nicholaschan

I really salute Apple, their idea, their way of marketing are just awesome. 3 years ago, Apple reinvented the phone with iPhone, everyone started to craze about the iPhone, then other mobile company try to make the same thing. Just this year, Apple released the iPad, again, it’s the same thing, Apple made the tablet world popular with the iPad.

During the keynote yesterday at WWDC10 in San Fransisco, Steve Jobs announced the iPhone 4 with a front face camera and it support video calling. They named it FaceTime, it’s not 3G video calling. Some people might think that 3G video calling has already out in the market for several years, just not many people are using it.

With FaceTime and their cool advertisement, I believe Apple once again reinvent video calling.

One bad thing about FaceTime is it runs via Wi-Fi only, but I guess it will soon available on mobile with unlimited data plan. AT&T data plan sucks because they don’t have unlimited data plan.

Best Skins Ever, Full Body Skin for Google Nexus One


IMG_0760-2 by nicholaschan

The order of full body skin by Best Skins Ever a week ago is finally here! Shipped directly from the United States to Malayia. Took them around 10 days to arrive, pretty happy when seeing it in my letterbox.

There’s actually a similar one call Invisible Shield but I prefer Best Skins Ever because it’s cheaper and I’ve use it before on my iPod touch last time. Well, you know I am a very extreme person, I may get scratches and phone drop a lot, so I need a protector to protect my phone.

IMG_0762-1 by nicholaschan

It’s a full body skin so it applies all part of my phone. The down side of having this is you can’t feel the nice feeling of the phone, it’s plasticky and rubberish a bit now.

IMG_0765-1 by nicholaschan

But it’s still cool. The applying process take quite a long time because I need to make sure it’s in place correctly and need to wait it to dry only I can apply the other section. But after applying and let it fully dry for one day, it looks very good.

Rocks.

I Bought A CLIPtec USB In-Car Charger


DSC04362 by nicholaschan

If you are wondering what’s CLIPtec, it’s actually an OEM brand in Malaysia and they outsource stuff from China and brand it under their name. I realized that my phone, the Nexus One and Nokia N95 would probably go low battery at night or during the day when I surf the day a lot and I am always on-the-go, so I need a charger in my car. I went to the computer store and bought this USB charger, now I can charge my phone with the USB cable and never worry of my battery run dry.

Toss It, An Addictive Android Game


IMG_0556 by nicholaschan.

I am not a gaming person, but due to boredness, I went to look around the Game section in the Android Market app store and downloaded a few games. One of which is Toss It.

IMG_0557 by nicholaschan.

Your aim is to toss the paper or other junk into the dustbin. Very simple. It requires touch and a little bit of angle thinking because there’s fan which disturbs your tossing. Unfortunately, this game doesn’t use the accelerometer built in your phone. Yet, it’s still a good time-waster while you’re on the cab, bus or train.
