What’s up iOS4! Took a minute but it was worth it. Multitasking and folders are mint.
My brother (because he is on a Mac) was able to update to the iOS4 with iTunes 9.2 installed. I had to wait a bit for 9.2 to hit Windows. Anyone who is savvy enough can now download the Gold Master version of iOS4 and throw it on your phone before the launch date on the 21st.
Mini Review: It’s fantastic. I am not an Apple fanboy and the iPhone is the only Apple product I own but I think that will change soon. The multitasking is flawless and well worth the wait. It doesn’t feel slow or sluggish like an Android. The days of having your AIM or Skype signed on at all times are back with this update. Ex-Sidekick users know what I’m talking about. I finally feel like I have control of my phone’s preferences with the locations updates as well.
I noticed what felt like a small speed jump. One thing is for sure, the Email, and SMS apps are much faster and SMS now includes a nice little character count (nice for anyone who tweets via txt). The camera shows the greatest improvements; pictures snap in lightening speed. No more millisecond wait which would render that unwanted picture blur.
All of the updates and new features leave me with no choice but to give the new iOS4 an A. Not an A+ because that would be perfect and there are a few things I would like to see implemented but I can’t wait to grab hold of a new iPhone 4 when they drop. Great job Apple.
If you want to jump on the bandwagon and update your phone before the 21st; it’s nothing a quick Google search won’t enable. Best of luck.
Update: Added a second screen cap of all of my folders. Makes browsing the phone much nicer without having to scroll 6 pages.
It was revealed or re-revealed depending on what your particular online news source is. All of the bells and whistles are covered on a million other sites so I won’t waste my time. My purpose is to look at it from a different angle. I think from the unveiling that the iPhone 4 is a home run. So much so that I will end up with one. However it won’t be the day of launch.
I think the phone is an excellent representation of what great engineering can do. Sleek, sexy, and functional with all the neat features like an hd screen, video chat, and proper multitasking. So why not get it on day one? That’s simple, why put myself in a position to be disappointed or fall victim to early adopter blues? With every big launch comes some sort of issue, be it battery, glass, memory, hardware, or whatever. My take is let everyone else get it, play with it for a few days and lets see what the internet has to say once all the hype dies down. I am sure launch will go off without a problem but waiting a few days might be key, that goes for any hyped launch.
Beyond that iOS4 launches on the 21st, so what am I really missing? A better camera? A better screen? Sure these things are really nice but it’s not like I can’t live without them. My 3GS does everything I need it to do, and how many people will I be able to video chat with anyway? Thus far I know one. Yes, my brother, so I’m in no rush. If you asked me the iPhone 4 is what the iPhone should have been right after the 3G. We didn’t and shouldn’t have had a 3GS. However as everyone knows that is just Apple milking the cash cow. Can you blame them? If I had that many fans I’d release half articles and posts.
So there it is, the iPhone 4 looks great, I can’t wait to get one, but not right off the rip. Maybe a week or two deep. I would be so mad if I ran into a bunch of issues at launch and really – who wants to stand in line or deal with the mad hatter fan boys?

Considering that more than 40% of my visits come from Google searches for “west ham iphone wallpaper”, and the great response to the original West Ham iPhone Wallpaper post I figured it was time to update the collection with a few new ones. Here they are, six new iPhone wallpapers for your viewing pleasure. I do my best to meet all age groups and tastes but with a limited understanding of who visits I can’t really be sure. This time I decided to get a bit more creative in the limited amount of time I had to throw these together. If you have or want to make your own West Ham wallpaper please don’t hesitate to send it to me, I will feature it on the site!
If you don’t use an iPhone or an iPod touch and would like to have one custom fit just comment with your phone make and model and I’ll do my best to get you one that will fit your mobile. With that said, enjoy and keep coming back for more freebies and treats. Come on you Irons!
