As we had talked about in previous posts, Apple has released Safari 5 and so far I am liking it and I made two videos to show you guys what I think of it and some of the new features, that you can find on it. I couldn't figure out the reader feature in the first video so I added that in the second video. Hope you enjoy the video and the recording of the video was used from the mic on my new webcam and so far it sounds quite decent, hope you enjoy the videos:

This isn't much of an Apple news but I just recently bought this great webcam and it was around $50, it features a 12MP still image resolution with a 2.0 megapixel video camera sensor. The label on the packaging says it's only Window's Vista compatible but I have tried it with OSX and it works just fine. The other install disk that comes with it just makes neat effects which didn't come in much use for me but overall I really like this webcam and here is a video of me unboxing it:

For people who use Safari as their browser you might want to update as Apple released a new Safari 5 yesterday and performance wise it seems a bit faster and the blue loading bar is back as it was on Safari 3 but for the most part the UI looks the same.

Well, we all were expecting this and it wasn't a huge surprise that Apple would release the next iPhone today and it looks just like the leaked images we saw before the one with the man in Vietnam and then the other one found in the bar. The design is 24% thinner than it's predecessor and it is said to be the slimmest smart phone ever. The backing and front is made of glass and don't forget the two cameras! The resolution is also superb at 940x640. The new screen on the iPhone 4 is known as a "Retina Display" and features over 320ppi. Battery life for 3G talk is 7 hours, 3G internet browsing 6 hours, 10 hours of video and wifi along with 40 hours of music. The wifi antenna now is 802.11n which is far superior the the a/b/g series. The camera which used to be 3.2 megapixels is now 5 megapixels and the other camera for shooting video supports 720p/ HD movie shooting. The A4 processor which I tried on the iPad worked really well and we are going to see that same processor on the iPhone!

Apart from all that goodness Apple also has an iMovie app for the iPhone! This shocked me because of the fact that iPad doesn't have that feature yet but iPhone does. This will be great for editing movies with features of a desktop software on a smart phone. But it is said to cost $4.99 in the app store. "FaceTime" is a new feature offered for the front facing camera that offers wifi only usage to do video calling.

Remember how we had heard about iPhone OS 4 it will now be called iOS 4 and it has all the great features we know and love but with a different name. This allows you to switch from Safari to using Bing as your search browser.

The iPhone 4 is said to be launched on June 24th in the U.S. and later worldwide. The pricing is $199 for 16gb and $299 for 32gb, same prices as the 3GS but with more features. It will be offered in two colours black and white. Also there seems to be no 64gb model yet... but maybe in the future. The 3GS will still remain priced at $99 while the 3G will be completely wiped out from the lineup.

With the WWDC around the corner, there are a lot of rumours going on that new stuff might be unveiled, things with the new iPhone and also supposedly a newer version of Safari which is said to be 25% faster than Safari 4 when using JavaScript. Also a new Safari reader is said to be introduced, to view content from the web. There will also be many new HTML 5 features. Bing is also introduced with a Bing Search option. There is also said to be more new keyboard shortcuts. The toolbar at the top will have new privacy setting buttons, top sites and history switching buttons and an improved functionality of the search bar. Cache and cookie functionality is also improved offering more space to store sites, therefore they would load faster the next time you visit the same webpage. Those are just some of the features once it is released we will take a better look! For now that is the main information.

Get ready everyone! Apple is having their annual developers conference and this is the time where all the engineers at Apple Inc. give tips and tricks to the over 5000 people who are app developers! This means that apps on the app store should be much better and thanks to these sessions, people can enjoy great apps on the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. Right now all tickets are sold out! That isn't a surprise as Apple are known for providing great sessions to other developers. If you are an Apple app developer this should be something you shouldn't miss as everything learned throughout the four days can prove to be handy in the future and plus there is no one bigger than the actual engineers at Apple who can provide learning sessions!  This will look to being an enriching experience for everyone as not only do you learn a lot, it also is a lot of fun with all your peers! There is also no doubt why the tickets for WWDC were sold out this year and that is because of the new iPhone OS 4.0 and the iAd campaign which has brought in many more developers!

Google the most gigantic company on the internet announced recently that they would start getting rid of Windows computers after many incidents and security concerns over Microsoft, it's not a surprise because I also expected for Google to use the most powerful yet secure computers to make all their software. After the hacking incident they had found in China, Google is thinking of removing their web browser from China for good. But this hacking incident leads back to Microsoft and their security. We will have to see whether Google will move to Mac or Linux, in my opinion both these Operating System's are very stable and secure. Using Linux though will save them more money throughout the company than using Mac. But at this stage using either one of these OS' and not Windows is a good decision.

We should hopefully see a drop in security concerns because many people in the world use Google's products and they expect the best. We don't know yet whether Apple will release a much more stable OS but we think Google has had enough of Microsoft, just like the incidents between Apple and Adobe.
