iPhone 4 Details Revealed

Mouths watered and eyes widened as Steve Jobs discussed the many impressive new features of the iPhone 4 yesterday. The device, which drops June 24, boasts many improvements, including video-chatting capabilities, unprecedented resolution, HD video recording and editing, a 5-megapixel camera, 40 percent more battery life, iBooks access and motion sensing capabilities for enhanced gaming features.

Of course, thousands of new applications will be joining the existing 200,000 iPhone apps currently available, the most notable of which being Facebook’s Farmville app. Aside from allowing virtual harvesters to “Farm anytime, anywhere,” according to Yahoo!, the first ever PC-to-phone application crossover will more than likely blow Google’s Pac-Man embed time suck statistics out of the water.
