The big reveal at Apple’s WWDC keynote this morning was, of course, the next-generation iPhone. The device will be called iPhone 4, and goes on sale this month in US, UK, France, Germany and Japan. The 16GB model will cost $199 with a contract in the US, while the 32GB model will cost $299. It goes on sale on 24th June and will be available in 88 countries by the end of September. Its launch in those five initial markets will be preceded by the release of the iPhone OS 4 software, which has been rebranded to iOS 4 to reflect the fact that it’s also available for iPad and iPod touch devices

Click the image above to view it at full size Man! Just minutes ago, I was having trouble explaining just how damned good the iPhone 4’s display looks in person. Then I remembered this shot. Click in for the full size shot — it’s worth the 5 second download. To be honest, it’s hard to look at the 3GS’ display the same way again after spending time with its bigger, badder brother

Ready to have a night of naughty fun? Why not try on a bit of Star Wars naughtiness. No I’m not talking about a Princess Leia gold bikini, although that wouldn’t be bad either, but rather a new set of Star Wars Corsets. The corsets feature two options, a shiny white storm trooper outfit or a naughty in black Darth Vader option with included cape. Designed by California artist shop EveningArwen both corsets can be picked up with their full outfits (pictured) for the not so consumer friendly price of $600

Engadget has made a comparison of the iPhone 4 against what they call the smartphone elite – representatives of respective Mobile OS – HTC Evo 4G for Android, Nokia N8 for Symbian, Palm Pre Plus for WebOS and HTC HD2 for Windows Mobile. Based on the hardware categories chosen, the N8 stacks up surprisingly well (and nice of engadget to recognize N8 amongst the “elite”). Well if history is an indicator, this will be it for Apple’s iPhone over the next 12 months. MeeGo phones and S^4 can still improve heavily hardware wise (given the non-flagship price of Nokia N8, it suggests we should expect more from the main Nokia flagship that would unequivocally put it head and shoulders above this list) VIA Engadget

My old pal Billy Baque takes us on a tour of one of his many classic film camera obsessions, the “Cuban Polaroid:” It was a wooden box with the bellows and lens from a folding camera mounted at one end with a complete darkroom inside. Using photographic printing paper the photographer would expose a sheet of paper for the negative, develop, stop, and fix it inside the camera, then put a copy stand on the camera and photograph the negative (to obtain a positive), develop, stop, and fix, then wash the final print in a coffee can of water attached to his homemade tripod. The technology apparently developed as a means for working photographers to produce souvenir prints on site, on demand, and at very low cost
