I have been listening to TWIT Live and they are talking with reporters who are trying out the new phone. They say it feels thinner and lighter, video is awesome, pictures do look better, fonts are smoother (no jagged edges), multitasking works well, calls are stable (using the same wifi network), brighter and smoother than 3GS.
I was really hoping I wouldn’t want the new iPhone 4, but I do. I’m sure I will pre-order mine next week because I’m just that way with new Apple gadgets. I have to have them. Although, unless some of you get an iPhone 4, I’m not sure who I will call with the cool FaceTime video calling.
I didn’t quite understand the gyroscope although he demoed it with a game and it sounded awesome. I couldn’t see that with pictures. I believe it makes games appear much more 3D and will help with some of the augmented reality apps. I’m a visual person, so I need to see that feature in order to understand it better.
iPhone 4 video from Announcement today
Let’s Talk!
Will you go out and get one? Let me know if you do so I have someone to FaceTime call with!!

My sons have an HP one year old laptop running Vista Home Premium 32 bit. Of course, just turned a year old two days ago and warranty is now up. There is not a lot of software on this thing. I installed ESET Nod32 and it runs well. I just scanned and there are no threats found. No popups are appearing in IE. There is no sign of a virus anywhere. There are multiple problems that I cannot figure out. When we try to shut the computer down, it gets stuck in Logging Off screen. I try Ctrl Alt Delete to bring up Task Manager but it will not appear. I get the Icon down in the lower right part of the screen, but cannot click on it to open it up. I tried to do a System Restore. I select it, but nothing happens. When I try doing it all over again, it says that it is already running, but it is not. I have tried uninstalling things they dont need but the uninstall freezes up also and when i hit cancel, it just remains cancelling without doing anything. I am usually pretty good at fixing things but this one has me stumped. If I could just do a restore, i feel like i could get it back to where it was before this started happening a couple of days ago,. Any help is appreciated. iphone unlock
