WWDC Overview

WWDC is an annual conference that is run by Apple in San Francisco. And like usual, Apple introduced one new version of their main product line. This was the iPhone's time to receive an update on WWDC. Here we will post a quick overview of what happened during WWDC, and then my personal thoughts about the event.

Steve Jobs walked on stage wearing his usual black shirt and blue jeans. He started the conference talking about the iPad, and giving us some numbers. He said that the iPad has sold over than 2 million units in 8 weeks. That's incredible for a device that many people used to hate and say it wouldn't be successful. Then he announced that iBooks could read PDF files. That's when the fun began, and Steve Jobs started talking about the iPhone. He presented the "brand new" iPhone 4, and highlighted the 9 main features. These features were: 

  • The brand new design
  • Retina display
  • New processor (Apple A4 Chip)
  • Gyroscope
  • Better Camera (With 720p video recording)
  • iBooks
  • iAds
  • FaceTime (Video calling for Apple)
  • iOS 4 (With many new features)

In my opinion, it was a great event, especially for the developers that can now use these great new features to produce various apps. So concluding, the new iPhone 4 is not revolutionary, but it changes everything... All over again.

iPhone os 3.0 review

Well iPhone 3.0 has certainly rocked iPhone users these past couple of days, and well I don't blame them, its a super, super, super,cool OS since its predecessors. I am loving the ability to MMS (even thought AT&T have not enabled it yet) and Internet Tethering (That Too!!) to be finally in this killer if not cool phone. So if your thinking of getting a Samsung Blackjack this summer you might want to set your eyes on the new iPhone 3G S because it will have all the features I am about to list and more in it.

Internet Tethering:

Its been a big thing with most devices but never before has it come to a cell phone and for those of you who don't know what Internet Tethering is then let me explain. Well its simple really all's it is, is sharing a internet connection from your Macbook or even PC.

MMS

Media Messaging Has Finally come to the iPhone, its a tool in which you can send pic or video through SMS, except its called MMS.

Copy & Paste

You thought it would come, and yes your right, the ability to copy and paste is finally here too!. with all those web addresses that you have to write down then put them into your "Notes" app on the iPhone seems easy now with copy and paste, it is long waited and really, it should have been there in the first place.

Recored Video (iPhone 3G S only)

Yay, The ability that really really really should have been there from the start, is the ability to recored video!. I really like the fact that they put it on the iPhone, but seriously apple, can't you put it on the iPhone 3G too as well as the iPhone 3G S!?!?. Anyway, you can also edit that video straight from your iPhone too!

Voice Memos

if you thought that taking down notes was hard, then this app suits you. Its really a 2 min app because there is not much to do on it, other than recored your voice or a voice. I like the fact that they took care in to it though and made the memos sound really clear.

Search (or as I like to call it "Finder") Yes the iPhone has the search feature like you mac now, so say goodbye to scrolling through all those apps or those songs and just search for them!.

Landscape Keyboard

Landscape Keyboard is NOT a app, but is a tool that you can use on most apps. You see now you can turn your iPhone side ways and the stocks, mail, and messaging apps will do things landscape, cool feature.

You Tube Sign in

If you like a particular You Tube video and you want to favorite it on the go, then this is what the sign in feature is for really, NOT for uploading you tube videos from your iPhone.

And thats about it really, all those features crammed into one, you may have noticed I never mentioned compass, and the reason why was because its a compass app, nothing really interesting about it plus i think its pointless, but hey iPhone OS 3.0 has a lot to offer and for that, I Love Apple.
