Multi tasking is the ability to do multiple tasks at once. It will have a thing called categories that let you make folders and categorys to sort your apps.

iPhone 4

June 7th, 2010 Apple released the new iPhone 4. It is exactly the same as the prototype found in the bar back in March. The phone has a much better screen resolution of 960x640! It has a 5 Megapixel camera that also records 720p HD video. It also has a front facing video camera! You can imagine what this is for... Video calling!! The camera also has flash! On Apples tech specs it says that the new iPhone 4 includes HSDPA in the phone. This could mean compatability with CDMA companys such as Verizon and Sprint! The new iPhone has the same A4 processor that the iPad has. 1GHz! Apple has a special coating on their phone that makes it completly fingerprint resistant! The iPhone 4 will be available for purchace on June 24th!

iPhone 4G found at bar!

Recently an named man lost an iPhone prototype in a bar in California. A man picked up the phone. A popular gadget blog -- Gizmodo paid $5,000 for the prototype. They took it apart and used it. Turns out its real! It has a front facing camera, a second microphone, and a new body style! It looks very nice! The phone had a case that made the new prototype look like the iPhone 3GS. Soon after the blog post came out Apple started contacting Gizmodo for the phone back. Even more proof its real!

Personnaly I think it was "lost" at that bar by Apple for a publicity stunt. Because the amount of press and hype this just generated is incredible! This is totally to Apples advantage! I think the new prototype looks cool. At almost the same time the iPhone was found Apple released the iPhone 4.0 beta software to developers. Again. Another way this is probably another plot by apple!

Left 4 Dead 2 DLC Released!

Today April 22nd the new DLC (Downloadable Content) for the popular game Left 4 Dead 2 on the Xbox 360 and PC platforms. The new content is called "The Passing" Its on the Xbox Live Marketplace now for $7 and a free update on the PC. The new DLC includes a new Campain in which the L4D2 survivors meet up with the L4D1 survivors. The have a new Co-Op mode, something that they call "Mutations", a new Scavenger map, a new gun, melee weapon, new achievements and much much more!

Its a great expansion to the game. If you felt the game was getting a little old/boring this will DEFINETLY make you wanna come back and play for many more hours. Its definetly worth the $7 (550 Microsoft points). I think that this will also cause sales to shoot up. This was a very good move by Valve/Steam!

Stargate Resistance's Creators go bankrupt!?

A few days after the release of the new PC game Stargate: Resistance for the PC platform Chyenne Mountain Entertainment filed chapter 11! They are blaming their former chairman and CEO for this. As they claim he was using their budget and feeding his other companys with that money. You must be thinking "Wow this really sucks for everyone who just bought this game!" I was one of those people. Later a press release surfaced from a group of shareholders in CME. They stated that they and a bunch of the former developers will still be supporting the game and patching the game regulary!

They claim to be working on a new expansion pack for the game. This is all great news as everyone who bought the game wont be out their $20! The problem is that CME was also working on a second Stargate game called Stargate: Worlds. This would be a more MMORPG type game versus SG:R which is more of a FPS.

BFBC2 or MW2?

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 was on of the best selling most anticipated games of Nov. 2009. The game was a hit. Sold millions upon millions of copies in the first 3 days. 4 months later in March came its best competitor: Battlefield Bad Company 2. There has been a lot of talk over which is better. I will break it down into pieces. Modern Warfare 2 has a TON of bugs and different issues with it. It has a lot of stupid things and faults that make it more of an arcade game than anything. Its very unrealistic. It doesnt require any team work and is pretty repetitive. There are an excessive amount of cheaters and hacks being used in the game. The game is very unbalanced and not fair. Lastly MW2 is slow to bring out patches and they charge for map packs.

On the other hand we have Battlefield Bad Company 2. Even though it has a lot of bugs (but what game doesnt that just came out?) fixed a lot of problems MW2 had. Such as unbalanced weapons. Terrible spawn points. Hacks, cheaters, and glitches. when it comes to the PC versions unlike MW2 Battlefield has dedicated servers great community you can mod the game and everything PC gamers deserve in a PC game!

As you can tell I would definetly suggest going out and buying Battlefield over Modern Warfare 2. They are priced the same and battlefield beats MW2 in just about every area!

Nexus One a Good Phone Or Just Cool Wallpaper?

Googles new phone the Nexus One has been out for a while now. Currently supplied for no contract at a hefty $700 or through T-Mobile for $399. It will be arriving on Verizon and Sprint soon. Now as you may have guessed its main competitor is Apples iPhone. But does it really compete? Well googles phone has a 5.0 Megapixel camera a 640x480 LED screen and googles operating system. which in comparison to the iPhone seems quite impressive but there are also quite a few things the iPhone has that the Nexus doesnt. For example theres no Multi-Touch or great iTunes integration. It also has no where near the quantity/quality of apps that the Appstore offers. Although the Nexus has some nifty features like the colorful moving wallpaper and stupid little fun apps it will never beat the functionality and awesomeness of the iPhone.
