Yay! The new iOS 4 is now ready for download.
Just link your iPhone to your iTunes and click on update and the software will do the rest of the installing. I wanna get home soon so that I can download. My crappy office network blocks traffic from Apple's website so it's impossible to download. =(

Panasonic creates 152 inch 4K resolution 3D Plasma TV
According to Engadget, Panasonic has created its new 152 inch 4K resolution 3D plasma TV and showed it off at the recent CES.
152 inch, mind you. Where on earth could we stuff a TV that size into homes and offices? Apparently it is destined for greater things. Wahaha...
Trust the Japanese to come up with such a super big TV that no one can afford to buy. $500,000 is enough to buy a HDB flat in Singapore. =/

iPhone 4 Goes on Sale June 24
So dear old Steve Jobs has finally announced the golden date.
June 24th. Mark that down in your calendar. That day will be the day that lucky mortals in United States, Germany, France, United Kingdom and Japan will get their hands on the coveted iPhone 4.
Yes. Mark that date right now especially if you happen to be in these 5 countries. Me? Nope. Gotta wait it out. =(

Read more on the iPhone 4 from Engadget
You can go to Engadget's website to read more about Apple's new iPhone 4 here. It's all taken from Steve's presentation at the WWDC 2010. =D
Totally awesomeness on iPhone 4
Steve Jobs said: "You gotta see this in person. This is beyond the doubt, the most precise thing, and one of the most beautiful we've ever made. Glass on the front and back, and steel around the sides. It's like a beautiful old Leica camera."
"24% thinner than the iPhone 3GS. "
"Here are the volume controls... we have a front facing camera, micro SIM tray, camera and LED flash on the back..."
"Something we call the Retina Display. What's that? In any display there are pixels. We dramatically increased the pixel density, Four times the amount."
"Because we have four times as many pixels, we get really, really sharp text. Now the retina display as 326 pixels per inch."
"Bang! 960 x 640 display"
"3.5 inch display"
" the iPhone 4 is powered by the A4 chip. This was designed by our own team. This is wonderful to have in the iPhone. You take the back off -- first thing you notice is that the iPhone 4 is packed to the gills. There's the A4 right there... micro SIM -- we needed the space! You can see the biggest component is the battery."
"7 hours of 3G talk, 6 hours of 3G browsing, 10 hours of WiFi browsing, 10 hours of video, 40 hours of music..."
"And 300 hours of standby."
"Quad band HSDPA, 7.2Mbps."
"Dual mics, 802.11n WiFi, GPS, compass, accelerometer."
"We're adding a 3 axis gyro, and we tied the gyro and accelerometer, compass, and gyro together for six axis. It's perfect for gaming."
"Now everybody loves to talk about megapixels, but we tend to ask the question how do we make better pictures? Megapixels are nice, but what these cameras are really about is capturing photons and low light photography. So we've gone from 3 megapixel to 5 megapixel, but we're using a backside illuminated sensor."
"In addition to that, when most people increase megapixels they make them smaller, but we've kept ours the same size. They don't capture less photons. 5x digital zoom, tap to focus, and we've got an LED flash."
"records HD video" ... 720p at 30fps!
"iMovie on iPhone 4"
"iOS 4!"
"Multitasking!"
"I wanted to hit on the enterprise stuff. Data protection, device management, multiple Exchange accounts... and on the consumer side, we have Google search and Yahoo!, and we're adding Bing."
"Number seven - iBooks. We are bringing it to the iPhone with the iPhone 4."
"We'll have it on the iPhone, the iPad, and the iPod touch. What can we do with these together? First, you can purchase and download a book. It will download wirelessly. You can download the same book to all your devices at no extra charge. Buy it on your iPad, download to your iPhone. And iBooks will automatically and wirelessly sync your current place, all your bookmarks, and all your notes."
"Number eight... iAds. Why are we doing iAds? To help our developers earn money."
"We're going to turn on iAd on July 1st for all iOS 4 devices."
"It's called FaceTime. WiFi only. iPhone 4 to iPhone 4. No setup."
"Pricing -- there's two colors. White and black. Pricing -- $199 for 16GB, $299 for 32GB."
"These go on sale June 24th."
"Pre-orders start a week from tomorrow. And we're shipping in 5 countries. In July we're shipping in 18 more."
Gosh! That is so much more than what my iPhone 3GS is offering!!! And tomorrow is 8 June 2010!
If you are wondering, the 5 countries are United States (duh), France, Germany, United Kingdom and Japan. Lucky Japan since it's the only country in the East to get special privilege from Apple.
One last thing from Steve Jobs:
"And I'd like to talk for minute about iOS 4 upgrades. For the 3G, not all the features are supported, same with the iPod touch, and this excludes the first generation. Upgrades are free for all these products."
And the WWDC continues on...
