The new Apple iPhone 4G is inspired by the curves and tapering found on their famed Macbook Air. Some mock-ups floating around have suggested that the body will be an aluminum unibody design. That seems possible but so are tons of other innovative industrial designs out there.
The new design is exciting but the new technology introduced will sure to be even more amazing. Speculations include a dual-core processor and better graphic chips that can deliver higher video resolutions and better still images when taking a photo.
One of the biggest features to excite people is the front mounted camera. This will give the new iPhone 4G the ability of video conferencing on both Mac and PC. Being compatible on multiple platforms is the key to the success of this feature. Hopefully video conferencing will be compatible with Skype and MSN and maybe we will even see iChat for PC? This feature would create a huge step forward in communication and information sharing.
The biggest draw to the iPhone 3Gs was the improvement in battery life. Hopefully this is something they will continue to improve on the iPhone 4G while also focusing on increased memory. No new information on the plans for expanding carriers has been announced but Version is working on a 4G data network .
With so much speculation around the interwebs no one is sure of what exact features will be in the newest version of the iPhone or even if it will be called the 4G. We are just going to have to wait for the July 2010 release date, meanwhile you can get some free ringtones for your iPhone.

The Blackberry Storm plans on releasing an updated version of their Blackberry Storm smart phone. The new model, Blackberry 9550, has taken into consideration community feedback on problems and issues with their previous release.
The Blackberry Storm 2 will include much needed WiFi support and improved processing speeds. They have also added a 3.2 mega-pixel camera for improved photo and video quality. You will able to see your higher quality photos on their expanded 360 x 480 resolution screen. The gaps between the display and the frame are now much smaller and there is no more wobbling or dust collection.
The biggest improvement is the removal of “click back” touch screen interface. There is speculation that the new version will give the user the ability to turn this feature back on, not sure why you would want to. This will surely improve the use of the Blackberry’s touch screen that has also been improved.
For now, the OS is practically the same, version 5.1, and likely won’t change too much but the phone reportedly has more memory, which improves performance. Storage memory has also been doubled to 2GB.
The network will be on Quad-Band GSM/Edge technology and will most likely release for Verizon and Vodafone. There has been speculation that Blackberry’s 9520 phone will be supported on the AT&T network and the Rogers Wireless network.
