earlier this week, b decided that he needs to get an ipad. the giddy thoughts of fondling its prettiness make me need a new toy.
i can just hear the clamoring nerds stampeding to the apple store thursday for the release of iphone 4. it is damp-in-my-pants amazing. after patting myself on the back for a year for waiting to jump on the iwagon until the 3GS came out, now i cannot talk myself out of blowing another $300 for the new one.
the new OS will also be fab - folders for apps, multitasking, ibooks and more, but i can get that update on the 3GS. the new shape, size and apparent feel of iphone 4 intrigue, but hardly justify the purchase. the forward-facing camera which allows for video chatting is amazing, but will be very limited at first (only works with other iphone 4's - but someday will work with apps like skype).
perhaps the most amazing change is the processor. apple has always been hush-hush about the Samsung chip in the iphone, but this time they are showing it off. they are using the new customized apple-designed A4 chip, the same one that runs the ipad, but apparently in the phone it will be twice as fast. ok, the processor AND the display are the big sellers -- there will be 328 pixels per inch -- four times the pixels as the 3GS. blows every other smartphone display away. what is a nerd to do?
