Perhaps just as important, Netflix joined Steve Jobs on the stage to announce Netflix for iPhone, an application that enables video on demand via both Wi-Fi and 3G networks. It's a subtle yet strong statement to the entertainment world: We choose to disagree on some openness choices, but if you're willing to listen to us and take advantage of what we offer, we'll open the door to 100 million multimedia hungry iOS users for you.
- Whit The Same OS
iOS is the new official name for iPhone OS. With iPads, iPod touches and iPhones all running the same OS, Apple has decided to change the name of the OS to make it less about the iPhone and more about a seamless platform experience for all these products. If you download an eBook via the iPad through Apple's new iBookstore for instance, you can also synchronize it with your iPhone for no extra charge. Sharing content between different devices like that is great, but it's also important that each type of device has a clear mission of its own.
And that's where Steve Jobs' "biggest leap since the original" statement comes in. In order to give the iPhone 4 a clearer smartphone footprint, Apple has made six key improvements:
iPhone 4 release date
Improved talk time of up to 7 hours on 3G networks
Dual mic noise suppression for improved background noise cancellation
HSPA+ connectivity (7.2 Mbps downloads / 5.8 Mbps uploads)
1GHz Hummingbird processor as part of the Apple A4 chip
New 3.5-inch Retina Display consisting of IPS technology, 960 by 640 pixels resolution and 800:1 contrast ratio Check out more Apple iPhone 4 specifications.

- Ready for some quality FaceTime?
The seventh improvement, as far as smartphone features are concerned, Steve Jobs introduced as a "Wi-Fi only in 2010" feature, namely FaceTime for video calling. According to Jobs, the iPhone carriers aren't ready for FaceTime yet. If you ask us for a comment: it could mean iPhone carriers aren't ready to bill iPhone 4 customers for video calls yet, something that'll happen in 2011 according to Skype recently. To ensure compatibility with other devices also capable of video calling, however, FaceTime supports a range of open standards.
FaceTime naturally requires camera technology, and the iPhone 4 gets two cameras that can both be used in FaceTime: A front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera as well as a 5-megapixel camera on the back with 720p / 30 fps HD video recording and LED flash. There should really have been Xenon flash back there to give low-light performance a chance, but Steve Jobs promises that a large backside illuminated CMOS sensor will deliver the goods in combination with the LED flash. And, if you aren't happy with your 720p video shooting, Apple has created iMovie for iPhone ($5) for some in-iPhone 4 video editing. Apple also promises one-click sharing.
Lastly, the iPhone 4 has received an upgrade to Wi-Fi Wireless-N connectivity. There's also a new 3-axis gyroscope that in combination with the built-in accelerometer provides 6-axis motion sensing for improved gaming control, for instance.
