iOS4, that’s the new name for iPhone OS 4 software. During WWDC 2010, Jobs announced that Apple has renamed the iPhone OS 4 firmware to iOS4. This change makes sense, considering that the operating system is not just used on the iPhone, but also on the iPad and iPod touch as well.

iOS4 features

iOS4 has more than 1,500 features. iOS4 features include multitasking, folders,retina display integration, mail – unified inbox & threading, Enhanced Camera & Photos apps, Deeper Enterprise support, and a lot more.

iOS4 download

The iOS4 download is not out yet, but we will post download links once Apple officially releases it.

iOS4 release date

iOS4 will be released for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, and iPod touch for FREE in June 21.

Verizon iPhone release date, iPhone 4G & iPhone OS 4.0: The countdown has begun

Hans — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 20:48:52 +0000

The Verizon iPhone is a really hot topic, now that the iPhone 4G prototype hardware photo has confirmed the new iPhone that Apple is launching in June. Apple, today announced their WWDC 2010 release date: June 7. In 39 more days we shall find out what new gadgets and software updates Apple has in store for us.

The iPhone 4G was leaked early last week, and it was found with a video camera on the front. The camera can be used for video chat, and developer’s who have checked the code in Apple’s latest SDK have noticed code that suggests video chat will be supported.

The iPhone 4G also has a higher resolution than the iPhone 3GS, and Gizmodo noticed that when they saw the “Connect to iTunes” screen before their iPhone 4G prototype stopped working.

The Verizon iPhone won’t be working on a 4G network because Verizon’s 4G network won’t be out until year 2011. If AT&T is the only service in the US that Apple offers the iPhone 4G on this year, I may just get the HTC Evo 4G on Sprint or Droid Incredible on Verizon instead.

This photo is an iPhone 4G hardware prototype with iPhone 4.0 software that was leaked early by tech blog Gizmodo. June 7 is the date the rumored Verizon iPhone may be announced, along with the new iPhone 4G and iPhone 4.0 software.

Apple has announced June 7 as the date for the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2010. It’s obvious that the new iPhone 4G mobile device will be announced this same day along with the iPhone OS 4.0 software.

The 4G in iPhone 4G does not mean a 4G network, it’s really just an acronym for iPhone fourth generation hardware. Some blogs are even calling the iPhone 4G the iPhone HD aka high definition just to avoid causing confusion.

The iPhone 4G has a front facing camera with support for video chat. Various codes found in the iPhone 4.0 Developers SDK shows that there will be support for video chat within the new social gaming center. This will bring iPhone gaming to a whole new level.

Verizon iPhone release date, new iPhone 4G, and 4.0 during WWDC

Hans — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 17:19:55 +0000

Last week the new iPhone hardware prototype was leaked, but we didn’t get to see a demo of it in action because Apple had remotely wiped the iPhone OS 4.0 mobile device software for the iPhone 4G. This specific iPhone picture is not a Verizon iPhone because it has a micro-sim slot.

We could be seeing a Verizon iPhone this year, according to analysts and The Wall Street Journal. WWDC is when we will find out if a Verizon iPhone is launching. I am still skeptical about a Verizon iPhone launching this year because Verizon does not have their 4G network and it won’t be ready until 2011. It would be nice to connect iPhone to Verizon’s network, because AT&T coverage sucks in my area.

The iPhone 4G will suport video chat, but won’t support Adobe Flash Player. It will be announced during the Worldwide Developers Conference 2010. You can find out more about the iPhone 4G by checking out the 8 things to know about iPhone 4G post.

4 good reasons not to get iPhone 4G

Hans — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 06:22:00 +0000

A lot about the iPhone 4G has been revealed this week, including rumors about a Verizon iPhone, and more iPhone 4.0 details. The photo of the iPhone 4G hardware prototype along with videos was first leaked by popular tech site Gizmodo and the blogger who leaked it had his server and computer taken away by Apple. Also check out the 8 things to know about iPhone 4G post.

1. iPhone 4G doesn’t support Adobe Flash Player

Adobe can get Adobe Flash Player to work on the iPhone, but Apple does not want to approve it. The logical reason for them not wanting to approve it is because Adobe Flash Player apps could be a threat to Apple’s own App Store. Apple is hiding behind excuses that “Flash Player is laggy”, but they could have at least given users an option to enable or disable flash.

2. No SD card slot

iPhone 4G will come with the new iPhone OS 4.0 software that will have support for multi-tasking, a social gaming center, and video chat for iPhone 4G only.

3. No freedom of installing apps you would like

Apple picks and approves whichever application it would like to approve in their App Store. Silly fart apps can get approved, but quality apps can get rejected for weird reasons.

4. Carrier restriction (possibly)

Rumors of a Verizon iPhone are really strong around this time of the year, but that happened in 2008 as well. The iPhone 4G will most likely be restricted to AT&T again this year because of an exclusive agreement and because Verizon’s 4G network won’t be ready until 2010. If that’s the case then I know I won’t get the iPhone 4G, because AT&T coverage sucks where I live.

8 things to know about iPhone 4G

Hans — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 03:47:33 +0000

1. Verizon iPhone possible this year

Okay, so there have been many rumors of a Verizon iPhone, but none have any proof at all to back up their claim besides anonymous “sources”. There were rumors of a Verizon iPhone in 2008 as well, but it didn’t happen. Verizon’s CEO wants to see iPhone on Verizon, so the ball is in Apple’s court right now.

2. iPhone 4.0

iPhone 4G will come with the new iPhone OS 4.0 software that will have support for multi-tasking, a social gaming center, and video chat for iPhone 4G only.

3. iPhone 4G has front facing camera

You can video chat with the iPhone 4G. This opens up a lot of new possibilities for the new iPhone. You can finally Skype and have a video call from a mobile device (if Skype adds support).

4. Improved display

According to Gizmodo, the new iPhone 4G has a 960 x 640 pixel screen. Gizmodo is not 100% sure about this, but they do know it has higher resolution because of the “Connect to iTunes” screen they saw.

5. Won’t support Adobe Flash Player

The new iPhone 4G won’t support Adobe Flash Player, nor will any of the other Apple devices including iPads, or iPod touches.

6.Will launch in June, during WWDC 2010

iPhone 4G will be launching in June this year during the annual World Wide Developers Conference 2010.

7. Has a micro-sim, rather than standard sim

The current iPhone has a standard sim card slot, but the new iPhone 4G has a smaller sim card slot that is smaller than

8. Buttons are metallic

The power button, and the volume/mute buttons on the side of the iPhone are all metallic.

Investigators have found person who discovered new iPhone

Hans — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 01:55:31 +0000

Investigators have found the person who discovered the new iPhone 4G hardware prototype in the photo above, but what they haven’t told the Business Journal is whether or not that same person is the person who sold the new iPhone to Gizmodo. The police know who found the new iPhone and so far no charges have been pressed. “We’re still not saying it’s a crime,” said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.

It’s good to know that Jason and Gizmodo are safe for now. It’s starting to look like Apple purposely reported the iPhone 4G prototype, even though they already have it so that they could get more free press out of this. What do you think?

Verizon iPhone 2010, new iPhone 4G phone, and iPhone OS 4.0 software

Hans — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 00:26:05 +0000

The new iPhone 4G smartphone prototype hardware and iPhone 4.0 software photo is above this text. The blog that leaked this new iPhone and posted pictures and a video of it online is Gizmoo. The Verizon iPhone is rumored to launch in June, but the iPhone 4G phone Gizmodo received does not support Verizon. There may not be a Verizon iPhone until 2011.

The new iPhone that Gizmodo leaked got their blogger in trouble. The blogger had his house raided last night, and his computer and servers were taken away from him. According to Gawker, the search warrant the law enforcement had was invalid because of a certain code.
