Today, June 7, 2010, Steve Jobs demoed the new iPhone 4 at WWDC 2010 in SanFrancisco.  iPhone 4 comes out on June 24th

Here are some pieces of information we have been given about the new device:

• iPhone 4
• 24% thinner than current iPhone 3GS
• Mute button looks more reliable (mine always changes in my pocket)
• Front Facing camera
• Two mics
• New Design (the one that was leaked)
• Metal band around the phone is 2 antennas: Bluetooth, Wifi, GPS — UMTS / GSM
• Pixel density increased, now a 960×640 display (existing applications already take advantage of this) — called Retina Display
• An outward facing LED flash
• 326 dpi screen (better than the human eye can see)
• 802.11n Support
• Gyroscope (this is a HUGE deal)
• 720p at 30fps video recording

• Extended battery life: 7 hours 3G talk, 6 hrs 3G data, 12.5 days of standby time
• Upgraded video editing — looks almost like a mini Final Cut — quite the large functionality set for a mobile device
• iMovie for the iPhone will cost $4.99 at the App Store (uh oh, charging for their own functionality)
• iPhone OS 4 (of course)
• Video Chat! – over WiFi only, called FaceTime
