The GAMES Portable Console Gaming and Entertainment System is a hard case that houses your Xbox 360 along with an LCD and speakers for easy traveling and gaming. AT%T and Apple are canceling iPhone 4 orders . It might just be that they're canceling EXTRA orders from the website hiccups last week, but we might not know for sure until actual launch day. WireTape cables are going to be super flat cables that clean up the cable clutter. (via Scott Ellis ) WordPress 3.0 is out and you can upgrade now. If you want to learn more about it, come to OpenCamp in August! You'll learn that and tons more about how to take advantage of your CMS platform (WordPress, Drupal, Joomla!) to make your website even better, and learn about topics we all have in common like SEO, marketing, driving traffic, and making money off your website.

At WWDC 2010, Steve Jobs announced the iPhone 4 . You can reserve it on June 15th and buy it on June 24th. The 16GB version will be $199 and the 32GB will be $299. A few important things to note about the new iPhone 4: The resolution has been increased. It's now 960x640, known as a Retina Display. The Apple A4 chip and bigger battery life means 7 hours of talk time. The antenna is actually built into the design of the hardware, and you'll notice it on the sides. There are two cameras, one on the front, one on the back, and it'll record 720p video. The new iMovie app will allow you to edit your movies on the fly. With FaceTime, you'll be able to do video chats from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4, and only on WiFi for now. Developers will get iOS4 today. The only thing in the OS that hadn't been announced previously was that Bing and Yahoo are being added as search options.
