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.

I'm very excited to announce a conference I've been planning in Dallas called OpenCamp . The goal of OpenCamp is to encourage everyone, regardless of which CMS platform you use (like WordPress, Drupal or Joomla) to get together, learn from each other and network with a larger community rather than separating ourselves and defining ourselves by the type of website we own. During our morning sessions, we'll have everyone together in one room to focus on topics we all want to learn... Promotion, SEO, Making Money, that kind of thing. In our afternoon sessions, you'll be able to focus on your platform of choice and delve deeper into how to get the most out of WordPress, Drupal or Joomla. We'll also have lots of New Media sessions where you can learn how to podcast or how to make your existing podcast or video series better.
I'll be speaking, and we already have a few great speakers on board like Chris Pirillo, Giovanni Gallucci and Trey Ratcliff. AND! As long as I can get all the details worked out, Leo Laporte will be there! It'll be worth coming into town to spend a couple days filling your head with knowledge, networking and having a blast! Even if you're local, consider staying at the Crowne Plaza for convenience and so you can take part in some after hours parties. Early registration ends May 31st, so don't delay in getting your name on the website! It's www.openca.mp . See you here August 27-29!
