At the Top of my B-day Wish List: Apple iPhone 4.0

The next iPhone comes out June 24 (the actual day of my b-day btw)! CEO Steve Jobs opened Apple Inc.’s annual conference for software developers Monday (today) by revealing the iPhone 4, which will cost $199 or $299 in the U.S. with a two-year AT&T contract, depending on the capacity.

The iPhone 4 will have …

  • a thinner design (about three-eighths of an inch thick); the previous iPhone was nearly half an inch
  • a higher-resolution screen
  • a longer battery life 
  • a camera on the front that could be used for videoconferencing, in addition to a five-megapixel camera and a flash on the back.
  • the ability to shoot high-definition video, catching up to some other smart phones.
  • a display screen that remains 3.5 inches diagonally, but Jobs said it can show four times as many pixels — the individual colored dots that make up an image — as the previous screen.
  • the latest version of Apple’s mobile software, now called iOS4, which Apple unveiled in April to offer such new features as the ability to operate more than one program at a time.
  • the ability to let people watch streaming video where they left off on a PC.

I am on Team iPhone so this item will definitely be in my hands on my birthday this year!  Check out iPhone 4g’s photoshoot below.
