			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Steve calls it the <strong>iPhone 4</strong> &#8212; Apple finally announces its 4G smartphone called the <strong><a href="http://www.yugatech.com/blog/anything-apple/iphone-4-announced/">iPhone 4</a></strong>.</p>
<p><span id="more-165"></span>And though we&#8217;ve already had first glimpse of this phone back when <a href="http://www.yugatech.com/blog/anything-apple/rumored-4g-iphone-hd-could-be-next/">Gizmodo featured</a> that lost prototype they bought for $5,000, it still draws a lot of amazement from the crowd.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.yugatech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/iphone-4.jpg" alt="iphone 4" title="iphone 4" width="480" height="320"  /></p>
<p>Apple added features that are practically common to most other smartphones like the front-facing camera and LED flash but these are not the highlights yet.</p>
<p>The iPhone 4 is thinner (claims to be the thinnest smartphone ever, 24% thinner than the 3GS) at just 9.3mm (the Nokia E71 is 10mm thin). Next, they made the resolution higher at 326 pixels per inch (that&#8217;s 4 times than the previous model).</p>
<p>The <strong>iPhone 4</strong> specs:<br />
Apple A4 chip<br />
3.5&#8243; display @ 960&#215;640 pixels<br />
HSDPA 7.2Mbps<br />
WiFi 802.11n<br />
GPS<br />
Gyroscope<br />
5MP camera with LED flash + HD video recording @ 720p 30fps<br />
2nd front-facing camera<br />
2 mics w/ noise-canceling</p>
<p><img src="http://www.yugatech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/apple-iphone4.jpg" alt="" title="apple iphone 4" width="480" height="330" /></p>
<p>The <strong>iPhone 4</strong> has better battery life as well &#8212; 40 hours of music, 10 hours of video, 6 hours of 3G browsing and 10 hours on WiFi browsing.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.yugatech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/ios4.jpg" alt="" title="ios 4" width="148" height="71" align="right" />Apple is also putting <a href="http://www.yugatech.com/blog/anything-apple/apple-does-multi-tasking-with-iphone-os-4-0/">iPhone OS 4</a> in it but renames it as iOS 4.</p>
<p>The iPhone 4 comes in two colors &#8212; white and black and two models, 16GB and 32GB. As for the price:</p>
<p><strong>iPhone 4 16GB</strong>: $199 + 24-month contract<br />
<strong>iPhone 4 32GB</strong>: $299 + 24-month contract</p>
<p>As for availability:<br />
<strong>June 24</strong> &#8211; US, Japan, France, Germany and UK<br />
<strong>July 2010</strong> &#8211; 18 more countries<br />
<strong>September 2010</strong> &#8211; 88 countries</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is the 4th time that Apple upgraded their most popular media player, the <strong>iPod Nano 5G</strong>. I previously thought there&#8217;s nothing more you can add to this small media player but looks like Apple still has a couple up their sleeves.</p>
<p><span id="more-148"></span>Apple sent me a review unit last week and here are some of my observations about the new iPod Nano.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.yugatech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/nano-speakers.JPG" alt="ipod nano" /></p>
<p>The exterior design has not changed since the previous one (see <a href="http://www.yugatech.com/blog/anything-apple/ipod-nano-4th-gen-review/">review of iPod Nano 4G</a>), except for the addition of a VGA video camera and pinhole mic at the back. That, and the 2.2&#8243; screen size.</p>
<p>Here are several sample videos recorded with the iPod Nano:</p>
<p><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XmEcNnetWdw&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x5d1719&#038;color2=0xcd311b"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XmEcNnetWdw&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x5d1719&#038;color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></p>

<p>The videos are a little washed out and even playback on the Nano gives an impression it&#8217;s in greyscale and not color (even if it is). I think it&#8217;s decent and the frame rate is good enough considering it&#8217;s just VGA (0.3MP). The recorded videos can be accessed via File Manager when Disk Mode is enabled on the device. File format is MP4 and encoding is MPEG-4, 640&#215;480 resolution at 29fps. Audio is stereo at 44kHz with a 128 bitrate.</p>

<p>The placement of the camera and mic at the back still puzzles me. Putting them at the bottom left end of the backside is counter-intuitive &#8212; I always end up covering the lens whenever I shoot. The pinhole mic picks up sound pretty well but there&#8217;s a significant amount of static noise that goes along with it.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.yugatech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/nano-radio.JPG" /></p>
<p>The FM radio tuner works as expected and fixing on a channel/station is easy with the scroll wheel. However, you will need the earphones plugged in for it to work as it serves as a radio antenna. </p>
<p>The built-in speakers are hidden somewhere but from inspection, it seems the volume is strongest at the bottom end (cable port). It&#8217;s usable but not very loud nor has any semblance of bass either (better than no speakers at all). Speakers won&#8217;t work with radio as well since the earphones must be plugged in.</p>

<p>As for the other new features like the pedometer may only be useful when you&#8217;re a big fitness buff. Of course, there&#8217;s also the Nike + iPod Sports Kit package for runners. The VoiceOver, implemented earlier with the Shuffle, tells you the title and artist of the songs you listen to.</p>

<p>As for the sound performance of the player, there aren&#8217;t any improvements in that department (compared to the 3rd and 4th generation). Same with the earphones. I guess Apple focused more on adding those new features instead of impressing the audiophiles. </p>
<p>Nonetheless, if I said that the 4th generation wasn&#8217;t a worthy upgrade before, this 5th generation sure does offer a plethora of value-added features to make it a worthy buy. At the Apple Philippines Online Store, the 8GB iPod Nano is priced at Php8,790 and the 16GB at Php10,490.</p>
