iPhone 4

Well frankly, I'm a little surprised, and then I'm not.  The iPhone 4 is certainly a massive improvement on the current iPhone 3G S, but to me in a few respects it is still a disappointment.  Main features: "Retina Display", A4 Chip, 5MP camera with LED Flash and 720p video recording, 6-axis Gyro control, front facing VGA camera, 802.11N wi-fi, huge battery, and iPhone OS 4 (iOS 4 as it's now being called).  I don't really know much more about iOS 4 than what I saw at WWDC.  It finally does multi-tasking (only took 4 tries), has a unified email inbox which is a nice feature, adds the ability to create app folders, and they've actually added Bing as a default search option (irony...).  The "retina display" is an interesting piece of technology to be sure, but seems a little bit unnecessary to me.  Simply put, it's an extremely high resolution, 3.5" (BOO) screen.  It has a pixel density of 326dpi, which Apple says is beyond the human eye's limit of distinction (meaning you can't see the individual pixels), and a resolution of 960x640.  I'll be honest here, I've played with an HTC HD2, which has a 4.3" screen and an 800x480 resolution, and I could barley tell there were pixels unless I held it all the way up to my face.  So I don't much see the point of a screen with a higher pixel density than we can even see.  But hey, who's going to complain about higher resolution?  Apparently you'll also be able to edit your 720p video recordings with a new iMovie app, but not for free of course.  The phone will have the ability to video chat, from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4, and over wi-fi only until the carrier's networks can handle the extra load.  The eBook reader from the iPad also makes its way over to the iPhone, as well as Netflix and Guitar Hero.  The A4 chip in the iPad clocks in at 1GHz, with a separate GPU for the higher demands of a tablet computer.  Although we know the A4 chip is used in the iPhone 4, no one knows what it will be clocked at, nor what GPU Apple chose to pair with it.  I'd say it's a safe bet that it will clock in at 1GHz as well though, given the plethora of Snapdragon devices that have come about recently, because it will need to compete, and have extra power to multi-task.  I'm not going to bash this guy yet until I've had a chance to see for myself if it's worth all the hype, and I will probably as soon as they're out, so I'll reserve judgment until then!
