Apple iPhone 4 – Awesome phone inside and out!

Steve Jobs recently unveiled the iPhone 4. Although some images and features were already leaked over the internet a few months back, the crowd was pretty much amaze with the new gadget.

The design of the iPhone 4 makes use of stainless rim and black glass which makes fits it next to its siblings. This version is smaller than the older gen iPhone. It is about 34% slimmer compared with the iPhone 3GS but it shows 3 more grams on the scale. Apple boasts that the iPhone 4 is the thinnest of its line at, 4.5X2.31×0.37 inches and 137 grams in weight, with split buttons unlike the 3GS. The use of stainless still for its rim also assures better reception as it also serves as part of its antenna.

Apple installs an A4 chip for the brain of the iPhone 4. This is the same chip as in the iPad. The phone’s main brain is a link of the Cortex-A8 and PowerVR SGX 535 processor with 128MB of DDR SDRAM which makes sure the new iPhone can handle all the demanding graphics. Since all the brain power is integrated into a single chip, Apple says the iPhone can do a lot of stuff but will be kind to the battery life of the phone. Talk time is 40% better according the maker.

The display comes at 960×640 pixels manipulated on a multi-touch screen that is 3.5 inches Retina Display. The new version is 4x clearer than the iPhone 3GS. With all the finger sliding, doodling, and poking, the screen can be easily cleaned clear because it comes with oleophobic layer.

The iPhone 4 comes with a bigger main camera that retains its 5 MP resolution with a VGA camera partner on the other side of the phone which can be used for video conference and other applications.

The heart of the system is the iOS 4 which makes life easier for multi-tasking without being heavy on the resources and power of the battery.

The iPhone 4 will be coming in black or in white before the end of June in the US and will have a sticker price of $199 and $299 for the 16GB and 32GB. Early upgrade will cost $399 through $4999. Add around $200 if you want to get it without contract.

So let’s say that you have been searching for a way that you can make your iPhone into something other than a cell phone. I mean, if you are going to make a cell phone into something other than a cell phone, the iPhone should be the phone that you turn to right? That is exactly why the iPhone has so many different accessories and Sirius has just added to the iPhone accessory vault.

In August, they actually came up with the iPhone XM SkyDock that will actually make your iPhone or iPod Touch into a satellite radio. To me … that is something that I do not think that I would particularly like, if only because I hate Sirius radio, however … the SkyDock does look pretty freakin’ cool.

The catch? The SkyDock itself is around $120.00 and then you have to pay another $13.00 a month in order to listen to the radio … kind of a rip right?

When it comes to cell phone carriers, it has to be said that I do not think that many companies actually think through how cool the cell phone carrier actually looks – honestly, I want something that is not only going to hold my phone, but is also going to look pretty cool. That is exactly what the Precision HSD is all about. This AGF product is definitely one of the coolest looking protective cases for the iPhone I have ever seen and honestly – it is the most dependable thing in the world.

The cool thing is that this particular cell phone carrier actually opens up almost like a door and it bends itself a little so it truly does fit the iPhone perfectly inside. It has a soft microfiber lining on the inside and it is engineered with a hinge so you will be able to grab that phone call with no problem at all!

The best part? It is only about thirty-five bucks! It also has a 180-degree swivel belt clip which is ever-so-much fun to play with!

iPhone Accessories, Yes There Is Another One!

The iPhone – oh, how the world changed when this phone came out and I have to tell you that I think it actually changed for the better. While I do not have an iPhone, I see them floating all over and upon writing for this blog, I have learned a hell of a lot about them, iPhones are the single most compatible phones with pretty much anything and there is pretty much any kind of phone accessory for them.

Take the latest iPhone phone accessory, the iPhone projector. The MiLi Pro is a LCOS, LED-driven projector for the iPhone and iPod Touch is so incredible! All you need to do is put a screen on your wall and you will be able to watch anything that you want via your projector on your iPhone! Personally, with projectors becoming the ‘hot’ thing, I think that this is absolutely worth purchasing and just getting an iPhone or iPod Touch for!

The projector provides a 640×480 resolution which is a lot with 10 lumens, VGA and RCA inputs, and a dock connector. In September, this will be the hot item for that is when it comes out!
