Important features at a glance iPhone


Apple CEO Steve Jobs claimed the iPhone 4 has over a 100 new features during its unveiling at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco on June 7.

He restricted himself to covering just eight important new features because of the paucity of time.

Well, here are the iPhone capabilities that impressed us most.

Its sleek design comprising two glass faces held together by a 9.3 mm steel band that, as Steve Jobs put it, makes the smartphone the thinnest on the planet, 24% thinner than the iPhone GS

The steel bands running around the device not only provide it structural strength but dovetail as antennas - One for Blue Tooth, Wi-Fi and GPS; and the other for UMTS, GSM

A 5 megapixel camera with LED flash that doubles as a spotlight, letting you shoot stills and 720p HD video at 30 frames per second. You can edit the video using an iMovie port available as a $4.99 download from App Store.

A 3.5-inch, 960×640 pixel "retina display" screen with a 326 pixels per inch resolution that is twice that of the current iPhone.

Support for quad-band HSPA (Peak data transfer speeds of 7.2 Mbps down and 5.8 Mbps up)

A front-facing camera that currently works with FaceTime, an application that lets you video conference with other iPhones using Wi-Fi only.

iPhone 4 will be available in the US, UK, France, Germany and Japan on June 24. In the US it will sell at $199 for 16GB and $299 for 32GB.

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers Katy Perry continues working with the producers of GHD hair dryers and GHD hair care products: the singer once again demonstrated her luxurious hair in a fresh advertising campaign – this time she had the image of a diva from “the golden Hollywood” era (the pop-diva had already had the image of a hippie, a disco girl, and a mermaid). Luxurious dresses, bright makeup and a small portion of theatricality – one can immediately see that she is a star! The shooting was run by Ellen von Unwerth, who preferred to focus on restrained sensuality and the interplay of tones rather than on bright colors (the latter are always excessive with Katy) and presented black-and-white portraits of Perry to the public. The girl really looks perfect in the pictures : whether she is playing chess, recovering after a tiring concert or just getting ready to appear on stage. But whose merit is this: that of the photographer, the heroine, or maybe Photoshop?
