Display and Resolution May Start with 960 x 640 px
Apple Wants to make iPhone 4G very interesting, So they should Increase the Screen Resolution as they didn't change the Screen since 1st model was 480 x 320 px. Apple ordered from Foxconn monitors that will be equipped with technologies to improve reading.

5 Mega Pixel Digital Camera -- Supporting Flash

256 MB (May be 512 MB) Memory?
The iPhone 4G discovered by Gizmodo had a capacity of 256 MB of RAM, which is identical to the 3GS ... The DigiTimes has yet mentioned the presence of 512 MB in the next iPhone ..

Apple Overtakes Microsoft In Market Value
Apple is number two. The statement is usually shouted by PC users to ridicule Apple consumers, but today that statement has an entirely different meaning and those PC users might need to quiet down. At the close of the market today, Microsoft ended with a total market capitalization of $219.18 billion while Apple’s market capitalization was approximately $222.12 billion officially edging out Microsoft as the second most valuable company behind Exxon Mobile. Although Microsoft still has a commanding lead on the amount of products in consumers’ hands, the fact that Apple was finally able to defeat their long time competitor in the stock arena is a statement not only to the standing power of the company but the growth it has enjoyed since the return of Steve Jobs.
It is difficult to predict what this means for Apple especially when the stock market is constantly in flux. However, one thing that can be said is that Apple’s ability to cement itself as the strongest competitor to Microsoft’s kingdom was proven today. Over the course of ten years, a flurry of great products ranging from new generation iPods, to iPhones, and now the iPad have provided the necessary boost in consumer expectations of the company giving Apple the push it needed to overtake Microsoft. Looking at market trends, it’s possible that the high valuing of Apple stock could be attributed to Job’s appearance at WWDC and the inevitable announcement of something new out of the Apple camp. Although this may be true, it would be a short sighted and naive statement to make considering that Apple has consistently been able to deliver products that are acclaimed by both consumers and critics alike and is the clear justification for the results of the stock market today.
Although market value does not imply changes in the near future, Apple overtaking Microsoft could have interesting ramifications for both companies. As we have seen with Microsoft and other number one companies, being at the top of the pyramid creates a shift from innovation toward maintaining a hold on market shares. This is a bad thing because companies become interested in share holders and keeping profits high reducing creativity. In an example from Microsoft, Vista was rushed out of the door and was received very poorly. Likewise, Apple’s iPhone 3GS did not provide the same technological game changing effect as the original iPhone. On the other hand, being the underdog is when creativity tends to unfold. As seen in the massive amount of praise that Apple OSs receive, Windows was forced to rethink Vista. In doing so, they released 7 which has been praised by critics and consumers alike for its ease of access, faster speeds, and doing the things that Vista was supposed to do. Although to assume that Apple will now hold off on all innovation would be a hasty thing to say, it is a slippery slope that Apple and their consumers should be concerned about. Either way, today revealed to the world that Apple, Inc is something everyone finally wants to get their hands on.

How to: Jailbreak any iPhone, iPod, or iPad [Using Spirit]
Wondering What's Jailbreak, and How it can be Done? you heard a lot about Jailbreaking and it seems like a dangerous process, Here's a guide for What you need about Jailbreaking any Device ..
Why Jailbreak?
When you buy a new Device from Apple, you're accepting that its fate will be dictated by Apple. They have the full control for what kind of apps you can install on your Device and Which carrier you use on your iDevice and if you want to install an app that Apple hasn't explicitly approved? Sorry you can't. Want to Record a Video? Nah Sorry. Want to Change Device Looks, Themes, and Backgrounds? Nope.
From a couple of Weeks, comex (one of the dev-team members) has released a new tool jailbreak any iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch on firmware 3.1.2, 3.1.3, or 3.2. It's simple and safe to work, and Here's how to Jailbreak your device using Spirit Bellow
Note: Follow this guide at your own peril, know that there's risk and be careful. Consult elsewhere if you're nervous, or worry that I've missed something.
How to Jailbreak with Spirit:
Step 1: You have to Save SHSH Blob for Mac and Windows from Here.
Step 2: Download Spirit Jailbreak for Mac or Windows.
Step 3: You will need iTunes 9.x (Latest confirmed working version: iTunes 9.1.1)
Step 4: Connect your Device
Step 5: Open the Spirit Jailbreak tool. It will open in a small window, and should display a message like "iPad (3.2) Connected." If not, disconnect and reconnect your device, and open the tool again.
Step 6: Click "Jailbreak"
Step 7: You should see a screen on the device that says "Restore Complete." The device will restart, display a spinning pinwheel icon, and open up a colorful screen like this, with a progress bar :
Step 8: It will take up to 30 seconds, then it will boot up to your homescreen, as it was before with the same background, apps and settings. Now you're jailbroken.
Step 9: Now after restarting your device, you'll see a new icon on your homescreen, called Cydia. Open it up. This is your new App Store. Don't worry, the regular App Store still works. you've just got another one:
Unlocking:
Unlocking is opening your phone to use with different carriers and that what everyone who got an iDevice needs, But unlocking has become more difficult with later firmwares, the tools have grown apart. Spirit doesn't unlock. If you want to unlock, though, there may be hope.
But if you haven't upgraded to iPhone to firmware 3.1.3, or you can downgrade to earlier build. then you can use the Pwnage Tool, located here. The process is self-guided and quite similar to using Spirit. Unlocking is a comparatively narrow concern, and can get much more complicated, so I'll leave it at that.
Un-Jailbreaking:
If you had already jailbroken your device and didn't like this style, you can switch back and un-jailbreak your device easily
Note: This guide only applies to software versions 3.1.3 for the iPhone and iPod Touch, and 3.2 for the iPad.
Step 1: You need is your device's latest firmware file that can be got from here.
Step 2: Plug your device in, and open iTunes
Step 3: Shift-click (Windows) or Option-click the "Restore" button in your iTunes device summary page. Navigate to the firmware you've downloaded, and restore.
Step 4: Now iTunes should ask you if you want to set up your device as a new device, or from a previously stored backup. If your goal is to return to a life before jailbreak, you're probably going to want to restore.
