Maxis just updated us via twitter regarding details of the Malaysian iPhone launch. It will not be next month but it will be within the third quarter of this year. So it looks like it will be either August or September. Again, we’re hoping its August

We just received an official statement from Maxis.

“Maxis Berhad will launch iPhone 4, the thinnest smartphone in the world with the highest resolution display ever built into a phone, in Malaysia in the coming months.”

Not much more detail have been revealed but if our predictions are right. The iPhone 4 could be here as early as August.

Now the next question is when the Digi will launch the iPhone 4, we more concern about this, because narmally Digi will offer more cheaper then Maxis. So what do you think? When will the iPhone 4 launch in Malaysia?

Never miss a photo opportunity. The 5-megapixel camera built into iPhone 4 captures amazingly detailed images. A built-in LED flash illuminates low-light scenes. And the 5x digital zoom gets you closer to the action. You can even shoot self-portraits with the front camera.

Built-in LED flash
At a candlelit dinner, on the beach at night, or wherever the light’s not bright, you can still get great shots with iPhone 4. The advanced backside illumination sensor allows you to shoot low-light photos that are brighter and clearer than ever before. And iPhone 4 now includes a built-in LED flash that automatically fires when it’s needed.

Self-portraits made simple
Want to take a picture of yourself? The new VGA-quality front camera on iPhone 4 makes it easy. No need to flip your iPhone around to guess where you are in the frame. Instead, just activate the front camera with a tap, check your image on the display, and shoot.

Tap to focus
Autofocus keeps things sharp and the macro lens takes great close-ups. But you can also tap the iPhone display to focus on anything in the picture — a face in the background, for example — before you take the photo. Focusing also adjusts exposure and white balance automatically, so you get the best-quality photo possible.

Share your photos
Send photos via email or MMS from the Camera app. Or post them directly to your MobileMe gallery, where friends and family can browse and download them. Every photo you take is geotagged with information about your location, which you can save to your computer and share with iPhoto, Aperture, Flickr, and other compatible applications and services.

It’s doesn’t happen often so we all might as well savour it while it’s still fresh.

When Steve steps up to any stage, the atmosphere is usually electrifying. We haven’t had the privilege to watch his presentations live but from the many videos and live blog feeds that we’ve seen it’s very easy to get engrossed in what he’s talking about.

At WWDC10 however something very rare happened. Steve’s usually very slick presso hit a snag when he wanted to demo what was arguably one of the most important features of the iPhone 4 – FaceTime video calling.

The funny thing about FaceTime is that it currently runs exclusively on WiFi. That means with the iPhone 4, you can only make video calls if there’s a WiFi hotspot around. On top of that, you’ll need two iPhone 4 to make the call, one on the caller side and one on the receiver side.

In a day and age where 3G networks can support video calls just fine we can’t really understand why Apple would want to implement its version in such a different manner.

Well, we can only understand why when we make a FaceTime call of our own. So for now we’ll leave you with a video documenting Apple’s foul up during the FaceTime video call demo.

Jump to take a look. It’s an invaluable lesson on how to take control of a situation and maintain flow. Top stuff Jobs!

It’s been a long wait but it’s well worth it. Fresh from the WWDC10 keynote, Steve Jobs finally announced the latest iPhone. Readers, here are the details of the iPhone 4.

iPhone 4G
After months of speculation, it turns out most of us were dead wrong as to what the new iPhone will be called. Well maybe those who banked on the new iPhone to be called iPhone 4G can argue that they we’re very close to nailing it.

Now we all know that the new iPhone is not called the much expected iPhone HD nor is it the iPhone 4G, its simply called the iPhone 4. We like this name, its simple and elegant, rolls of the tongue nicely too. We can get use to saying iPhone 4 all day long.

The built and construction
From the keynote, we saw the iPhone 4 has excellent built quality and engineering. We’d go as far as saying that the iPhone could probably be the most advanced smartphone (soon to be) available to date.

It is, at the very least, a smartphone built like no other. Nothing in the market today and perhaps in the near future can come close to the level of engineering design on par with the iPhone 4.

First up, both the fron and rear panels of the iPhone 4 is made out of glass. Super tough aluminosilicate glass sanwiches the innards of the iPhone 4. These glass panels itself is extraordinary. The two glass panels making up the front and rear of the iPhone 4 is the same type of strengthened glass used in the windshields of helicopters and high-speed trains. Apple claims the glass is 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic, ultradurable and more scratch resistant than ever. It’s also recyclable.

We’re not sure how the new iPhone is going to stand up again drops and knocks but a full glass smartphone is indeed something very sophiticated. Definitely way ahead of the rest.

With a stainless steel band wrapping the two glass sheets, the iPhone 4 also promises to be one of the stiffest smartphones in the market. Apple claims that the alloy used in the stainless steel band is proprietary and is five times stronger that standard steel. The steel band makes the sleek and thin design of the iPhone 4 possible. So thin in fact that the iPhone 4 is 24% thinner than the 3GS. The steel band also functions as the iPhone 4 antennas.

The Display
Everyone’s pretty much expected that the display on the iPhone 4 is going to be special but no one could imagine how advanced the display is compared to other smartphones.

The iPhone 4 sports what Apple calls “Retina Display” with a 960 x 640 resolution LCD making up a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch and a contrast ration of 800:1. By comparison, the display on the iPhone 3GS is exactly half that of the iPhone 4 (480 x 320), this make the iPhone 4 the highest-resolution phone ever.

Apple did some research on displays and how our eyes perceived them. It discovered that the absolute pixel limit a human retina can discern is 300 pixels. The Retina Display shows 26 additional pixels per inch on screen making text and pictures appear sharper than ever before. To put it simply, the eye is not able to perceive a higher resolution display. Looking at an element on the Retina Display it would be almost impossible to make out the individual pixels.

Many who’ve had the chance to play with the device are saying the the display must be experienced in order to fully appreciate it. We haven’t seen the Retina Display ourselved but judging by the technology alone, it is safe to say that the display on the iPhone 4 is one of the best features of the device.

The Cameras
The iPhone 4 packs two cameras, one forward facing camera that enables you to make video calls (a service that Apple calls FaceTime video calling. More on this later); and the other is a 5MP main camera with built-in LED flash.

The 5MP main camera is nothing like we’ve seen on other handphones. Engineered to take better pictures, the main camera features a backlit sensor to allow for better low-light performance and a larger pixel sensor size to take full benefit of the increase in MP count. Most smartphone simple pack more pixel count but the size of the pixels itself are reduce to fit into the same size sensor. The 5MP camera on the iPhone 4 has a larger sensor that is able to accomodate lager pixels thus producing much better pictures.

In addition, the main camera records HD videos in 720p at 30fps. The iPhone 4 offers extensive video editing on the fly with iMovie, a paid app for the device. The iMovie app is intuitively simple to us but it is very powerful considering its running off a smartphone. Though, we’re a bit perplexed why the app is not offered for free.

The secondary forward facing camera is nothing special and functions like many secondary cameras allowing users to take self portraits and make video calls. Dubbed FaceTime video calling by Apple, this is the first time iPhone owners can make video calls. We’ve yet to see how the FaceTime video call workd so we can’t really comment on the execution but we find it odd that the iPhone 4 only allows video calls to be made over a WiFi connection.

Jobs mentioned in his keynote that Apple had to work out some kinks with the operators before they can offer the service via 3G. Another downer, is that you can only make FaceTime video calls with someone who has an iPhone 4 as well. Depending on how you look at it, this could be a good or bad thing but we’ll reserve our judgement until we’ve tried it out.

The inards
At the heart of the iPhone 4 is a A4 processor, the same one that’s running the iPad. With a 1Ghz clock speed, you can expect the iPhone 4 to be blazing. It’s worth noting that the silky smooth 3GS runs on a 800Mhz processor underclocked to 600Mhz, so you can expect very impressive speeds on the iPhone 4.
