Here we are again, on the verge of a new Apple release... iPhone 4 is available for pre-order! AT&T is reporting an estimated 600K iPhones ordered on the first day… a record obviously, its Apple releasing something that starts with the letter “i”. But beyond being a record, its close to 10 times higher than anticipated. What makes this version such a super-fantastic-must-have-device?
Here are some cool new features of the iPhone 4, and how it’ll change your life:
Face Time
This is basically a webcam in each phone that allows you to video chat with people in your contact list – just other iPhones to start - but whatever. OR (and I know this is a crazy from the future type idea), do something completely unheard of since 2006 and actually GO VISIT the person. Did I just blow your mind? I’ll give you a minute while you get up off the floor. However, this feature will change the whole ‘lying to your parents/spouse on the phone’ scenario: What if the Missus insists you turn on video when you tell her you’re ‘working late again?’ Yeah. Lying’s gonna have to get all Level 80 now.

Multitasking
Finally, men can ‘try’ to be on the same playing field as women and multitask. iPhone 4 allows the user to activate multiple apps at the same time - without sacrificing battery life or performance. That’s referring to the device’s performance of course… not USER performance. In the real world, multitasking actually means “simultaneously doing several things poorly” including DRIVING.
HD video recording
Not only does this phone replace your old phone, camera, storage media etc., it now gives your video recorder a fresh challenge. I’ve heard that life is better in HD. Ask one of the guys filming his special movies if he cares whether it’s in HD or HQ. My guess is that he doesn’t, but his significant other might - flaws are ‘clearer’ in HD.
Sticker shock anyone? You can pick up an iPhone 4 for the low low price of only a gazillion dollars (well, it feels that way). Without a plan, the iPhone retails at $599 for the 16GB and $699 for the 32GB. Does it come with butler service? Or free personal massager app? Or how about just dipping sauce for goodness sake?

Plus, touch screens make babies cry.
