Reporting on the latest developments from the World Wide Developers Conference in San Francisco. Steve Jobs is on stage. A very important update for you now - take a look at the new iPhone 4.
The phone has a whole new design, it is 24% thinner than former models. As rumored, there is a front-facing camera, microSIM, camera + LED flash, headset, and a second mic for noise cancellation.
Versus older models, where antenna was on the inside of the phone, on this latest model the stainless steel siding you see has the antenna engineered into it, so it now runs around the outside of the phone. Which will hopefully help with reception. The phone is glass on the back and front, which makes one wonder about the fragility in comparison to earlier generations. And the latest detail announced by Jobs, the display resolution has been quadrupled which greatly helps with the picture precision as you can see in the images live from the World Wide Developers Conference where Steve Jobs will continue to fill us on on the specs of this new product.

The phone has better motion sensing - it's got a 3 axis gyroscope, which is new, and it joins motion features that were included on older models. These specs are important to gamers, and are useful for GPS as well.
Jobs moving on to the cameras in the phone. As we reported earlier there will be a rear and front facing lense. The camera has been upgraded from a 3 to a 5 megapixel sensor with a backside illuminated sensor. The LED flash, tap to focus as well as digital zoom will improve photographs .
And the video camera will be HD, with built in editing. Very basic editing was available on older models, but on this phone you will be able to use iMovie for iPhone which will allow for much greater on-the-go editing capability. The app costs $4.99 and allows users to add transitions and titles, view keyframes, and more.
That's the latest from the World Wide Developers Conference. We have not heard anything about price, and Jobs is just now getting into the multi-tasking aspect of the iOS4. We will update you on that and more.
