 At Apple's World Wide Developer Conference in San Francisco (with Precursor's Alex Narvey in the audience), Apple announced iPhone 4. Its slimmer, has better battery life, better cameras (that's right, two cameras) and has integrated video calling (if both ends have iPhone 4 AND WiFi available). It also takes advantage of the many new features of iOS 4 and is so hot that on the day Apple began taking pre-orders in the U.S. the company pre-sold 600,000 units crashing both the Apple and AT&T web sites.Canadian launch date is expected sometime in July and Canadians will be able to purchase an UNLOCKED phone if they get it directly from Apple!
