Searching YouTube for a video of the iPhone 4 NOT having signal issues seems an impossiblity.

Thankfully a MacRumors memeber pointed me towards one!

Perhaps all the reports are blowing this thing out of preportion?

It seems that there is a little damage control over the recent iPhone 4 signal issue revelation when the phone is held (quite normally) in the left hand.

According to Engadget, Steve Jobs has responded to the issue citing that people are to “Just avoid holding it the wrong way” and another post by MacRumors also cites that there are “Other Mobile Phones With Similar Signal Loss Issues”

I decided to put this theory to the test as I’ve seen countless comments saying that the iPhone 3G or 3GS has the issue as well as the Nexus One (neither of which I have experienced during the 12 months of iPhone 3g ownership nor on my Nexus One).

As you can see from my video, my wife’s iPhone 3g performs better in hand and my N1 with it’s GPRS connection has no bandwidth degradation whatsoever.

The silliest thing about this “holding it the wrong way” affair? See for yourself…..

A Czech website has posted video and pictures taken on the iPhone 4.

jablickar.cz has a few shots of the iPhone 4 and pictures and video from the device. (click to enlarge)

The more that comes out about the iPhone  4, the more I am liking it!

More shots of and from the iPhone 4 and the video can be seen at jablickar.cz

In a shocking turn of events, some clever iPhone modder has installed a pretty much 100% working Android build to the iPhone.

Engadget have a very interesting scoop. They have acquired some supposed shots and what seems to be hands on time with the potential next Gen iPhone.

The worst thing is that the device doesn’t power on so there is a chance that this isn’t the real thing but in my opinion if it is real. it does look similar to the HTC HD2 or the Evolution.

Apple have had to postpone the iPad’s worldwide launch due to high demand.

Apple iPad

Although we have delivered more than 500,000 iPads during its first week, demand is far higher than we predicted and will likely continue to exceed our supply over the next several weeks as more people see and touch an iPad™. We have also taken a large number of pre-orders for iPad 3G models for delivery by the end of April.

The iPad will now launch worldwide at the end of May with preorders starting on Monday May 10th. iPad fans are sadly going to have to wait a few more weeks unless happy eBay scalpers get your cash.

Opera’s bandwith saving browser has been approved by Apple and is now availabe for download.

The browser connects to Opera’s servers which compresses websites server side and the compressed site is sent to the phone.

This can result in vastly improved browsing speeds when browsing using a slower GPRS or Edge connection and even helps full on 3g connections!

Available now in the Apple app store.

The iPad has now been jailbroken.

Geohotz has posted an article on his blog featuring the jailbroken iPad with Cydia and blackra1n on the dashboard. The Jailbreak was made possible by comex and Geohotz.

In the video above you can see the iPad running an N64 emulator with Super Smash Bros and Super Mario 64. Once released, a jailbreak could come in handy for those who wanted to do more with their iPad!

It seems that the original iPhone and iPod touch’s time for iPhone OS updates is over.  According to an iPhone preview OS page, both of the first gen devices are excluded from updates.

iPhone OS 4 Compatibility

iPhone OS 4 will work with iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and the second- and third-generation iPod touch this summer, and with iPad in the fall. Not all features are compatible with all devices. For example, multitasking is available only with iPhone 3GS and the third-generation iPod touch (32GB and 64GB models from late 2009).

If this leaves first gen owners on iPhone OS 3.1 is unknown but it seems the pioneers of iPhone OS will be stuck without updates.

So iPhone OS4 is getting multitasking but what do you get with your iPhone or iPod? Read on to find out!

First gen iPhone/iPod touch: No update to OS 4.0
Second gen iPhone 3g/iPod Touch: Update to OS 4.0, no multitasking.
Third Gen iPhone 3gs/iPod Touch: Update to OS 4.0, including multitasking.

There you have it. First gen owners get nothing, 2nd gen owners get an update but some features missing and 3rd gen owners get everything announced today!
