The web is richer. Photos are sharper. Videos pop. It has the most advanced Google browser and the very latest software with an advanced processor and 3G speed for faster search. It can help you navigate turn-by-turn. It even has a 5MP camera with a flash, image stabilisation, and a DVD-quality recorder. It's the phone without compromise.
If rumors are to believed, the Apple iphone 4g will be launched very soon. The company might come out with its 4g phone in May end or early June, 2010. It is also rumoured that the next generation Apple iphone 4G will be powered by Qualcomm. However, there is trouble for the iphone 4g as workers have gone on a strike and have been destroying company's property at a touchscreen plant in China.
China's Wintek Corporation is the world's biggest touchscreen manufacturer for cellphones and supplies Apple with panels for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The strike will surely affect iPhone and Ipod Touch supples and this might delay the lauch of the Iphone 4G.
The new iphne 4g will be a gret leap forward compared to the present iPhone 3GS. It is believed that Apple Iphone 4G will have some features that have never been seen before in any of the smart phones.
The features and specifications of the iPhone 4G :
OLED touchscreen
Dual Core processor
Removable battery
5 megapixel (HD video recording and LED Flash)
Video calling
Double storage capacity (64GB and 32GB)
Touch sensitive outer casting like Apple Magic Mouse.
A lot of other innovation will be seen not only in the hardware but also in the software. Going by the details and reviews on a number of sites, it appears that Apple iPhone 4G will surely further revolutionize the mobile industry. The price of the Apple iPhone 4G s not yet confirmed.
What will the iPad successor bring to the table?
As the the first scramble for Apple iPad pre-orders begins, we of course still have a bit of a waiting to do before we get our hands on the 'revolutionary' device. In a bid to fill the iPad-shaped void in our lives, we've stared into the future to see what the next instalment of the iPad could have in store for us.
As we anticipate more outings of the iPad as we now expect from the iPhone, here's is our thoughts on what the follow up to the iPad could be packing.
Read below for iPad 2.0: What's next for the Apple iPad?
Smart bezels
Apple filed a patent to extend the touch panel beyond the screen, allowing you to control iTunes without losing fullscreen cover art for video.
How likely? 6/10
Dual connectors
Why not be able to dock it sideways for watching videos? It'd also be more useful for typing for most people. Flies in the face of Apple's aesthetic, though.
How likely? 4/10
3D screen
Apple has patented a 3D interface but it seems overly complex for the iPad. Given zero Blu-ray support we can't see Apple going for 3D video either...
How likely? 1/10
Flash support
Most online video uses Flash, so alot of content isn't available on the Flash-free iPad. Apple seems to have it in for the manufacturer Adobe.
How likely? 4/10
Multi-tasking
Everyone wants to surf the web and exchange instnat messages while listening to Spotify. Apple has to listen to public opinion on this one...doesn't it?
How likely? 7/10
Camera
With augmented reality set for lift-off and IM video chat becoming ever more popular, a mobile device without a camera now feels like a car without wheels.
How likely? 8/10

Getting to grips with having F1 in our lives once again, we take a look at the space-age steering device set to be on the receiving end of Schumacher's jabbing fingers this season.
1/ MSG OK
Confirms settings dialled in with multi-function dial and menu settings.
2/ Menu scroll buttons
Steps through menus of settings chosen using the master switch (14).
3/ Differential adjustment
Can be shifted to suit track conditions and tyre wear, for instance to increase traction, grip, braking stability and turn-in.
4/ Neutral switch
Engages neutral/reverse.
5/ Front wing switch
Adjusts angle of front flaps to increase downforce.
6/ Radio LED
Illuminates in blue to inform the driver that the pit-to-car radio is active.
7/ Pit-to-car radio
On/off toggle.
8/ Fuel mix adjustment
Adjusts the fuel mix and revs either to preserve the engine or increase performance, as required.
9/ Throttle map override
Adjusts throttle and power characteristics to suit track conditions.
10/ Overtake button
Momentarily increases the engine revs to its 18,000rpm maximum. Helps with overtaking and scaring off pigeons.
11/ Pitlane speed limiter
On/off toggle.
12/ Engine braking level
Particularly useful in the wet for increasing rear-end stability.
13/ Tyre configuration
Optimises car settings for slick, intermediate or wet tyres. Also activates the rear rain light.
14/ Master multifunction switch
Allows the driver to access a number of system settings including engine maps, front wing controls and an aero-mapping function that monitors and maximizes car airflow.

The great and good of Samsung gather to officially kick-start their global 3D TV rollout. Black Eyed Peas, Shrek and new 3D TV starter packs set to join soon.
Hot on the heels of Sony's 3D TV launch in Tokyo, Samsung today set out their stall for the global roll out of seventeen new 3D products, covering 3D LCD, 3D LED and 3D plasma and 3D blu-ray player at New York's Time Warner building and Shrek, Donkey and the Black Eyed Peas look set to have a starring role.
Surrounded by a sea of 3D screens, Samsung's President of Visual Display Boo Keun Yoon and US President, Consumer Electronics, Tim Baxter unveiled plans for their worldwide campaign to convinve us to get 3D into our front rooms.
The first 3D models are officially available worldwide today but sadly those in the UK, hungry to be first to experience home 3D cinema, will have to wait a little longer than with the first available sets likely to hit UK stores toward the end of April.
According to pcmag.com a 46" flagship 9000 Series will set you back a tidy $5,999 in the US, while the most affordable 3D-ready HD TV in the range looks likely to come in at $1,699. We're still waiting on UK pricing but this could mean a lot of the price tags are not too out of touch with some of Samsung's 2009 HD TVs.
In a bid to clear up some of the questions around the supply of specs, Samsung also revealed plans to bundle 3D glasses and content together in a 3D starter kit they are calling the 'grab and go soluition'.
The first package, which will ship with any 3D TV or 3D blu-ray purchase, comes with Monsters vs Aliens which was unveiled as an exlcusive 3D deal between Samsung and Dreamworks at CES.
Taking that relationship further still, Dreamworks is also teaming up with Samsung to exclusively deliver the Shrek in full 3D. We got a sneak preview of the green ogre, Donkey and co in action and have to say this is a film where 3D could really flex its muscles. Exactly the kind of content that will drive the family vote.
Speaking at the launch, Dreamworks Jeffrey Katzenerg said: "3D is the entertainment revolution of our time"
Samsung also gave some pointers as to how they plan to educate potential 3D buyers Stateside, with in store demos, 3D Imax adverts and TV ads created by the brains and camera technology behind Avatar. We'd expect to see a similar approach in the UK which should mean you'll be able to experience 3D TVs somewhere near you sooner rather than later.
"This year Samsung want to take LED into a new dimension," said Boo Keun Yoon. Settingt their stall out right behind 3D Tim Baxter added, "The goal is to continually redefine entertainment and to enable the seamless convergence of devices - 3D will help make that happen."
