Steve Jobs gave the opening keynote for WWDC today. The newest iteration of the iPhone is a very impressive device, and shows that Apple is going to fight the Droid with everything they have.
There is nothing like watching the keynote for yourself, but I wanted to mention a couple of the features that I am particularly interested in. First, there is the video-conferencing. It uses the new front-facing camera built into the phone, and looks pretty awesome. Unfortunately, it only works over wifi for now. AT&T's bandwidth problems shows why this is so.
Second is the high-def video recording using the iphone's rear-facing 5 megapixel camera. And you can edit your video using iMovie, which is an app right on the phone!
Third is the multiple-tasking. It will be great to be able to run more than one app at a time.
And finally, there are folders. Anyone who owns an iPhone, or iPod Touch, or iPad, knows how unwieldy pages and pages and pages of apps can be.
There are more new features as well, but these are the ones that jump out at me.
Oh, and one. more. thing.
iAds. You can now insert ads into your (hopefully free) apps. It is a great way to generate revenue with free applications, and is definitely something that I am going to be looking into :)
