&lt;p&gt;Check out this side by side comparison of all four iPhone generations. As an iPhone 4 user that jumped directly from the original iPhone to iPhone 4, I can tell you that the speed increase for me was amazing. It’s probably less amazing for someone moving from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4, but still, as the video shows, iPhone 4 is pretty fast. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The iPhone 4’s insides are no secret anymore. The folks at iFixit alone have done a stellar job of documenting its every bit and bob. Still, the video above is worth watching. Created by repair firm Techrestore and composed of over 1,700 still photos, it’s a highly entertaining stop-motion disassembly of Apple’s latest gadget.&lt;/p&gt;

This time, director Martin Martin composed the first music video shot completely with an iPhone 4. The featured song is titled Cascades by an unsigned Vancouver, British Columbia artist named flakjakt. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="http://flakjakt.com" target="_blank" href="http://flakjakt.com/"&gt;&lt;a href="http://flakjakt.com" target="_blank"&gt;http://flakjakt.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &amp; &lt;a title="http://themartymartin.com" target="_blank" href="http://themartymartin.com/"&gt;&lt;a href="http://themartymartin.com" target="_blank"&gt;http://themartymartin.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Artist: flakjakt [Steve Failows]&lt;br/&gt;Song: Cascades&lt;br/&gt;Director/DP/Editor: Marty Martin&lt;br/&gt;Producers: Sam Toloui, Kelli Taylor&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Dancer: Robin Campbell&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Song was written in 2 days, video shot in 1.3 days and edited in 2 days. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In a fun weeklong experiment, my friend Marty and I collaborated on this video for an original song I wrote specifically for the iPhone 4 shoot. The overall goal was to produce a music video you can get down with - first and foremost - regardless of what camera we were shooting with. I think the end result turned out fantasmic! I hope you do too.&lt;/p&gt;

If you don’t think so then this video might convince you that it is at least getting very close. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Watch as portrait artist David Jon Kassan paints a live model using the Brushes app on his iPad.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kassan streamed the entire session live from Brooklyn, New York on June 21, 2010. The painting took approximately 3 hours to complete. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just imagine was artists would be able to do with portrait sized iPad screens. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I call this amazeballs. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://swipetap.com/post/754743067</link><guid>http://swipetap.com/post/754743067</guid><pubDate>Wed, 30 Jun 2010 09:41:25 -1000</pubDate></item><item><title>If you’re still wondering why you need an iPad....</title><description>&lt;iframe width="400" height="245" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/IBHeEmKQ_uI?wmode=transparent&amp;autohide=1&amp;egm=0&amp;hd=1&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you’re still wondering why you need an iPad.
