Jun 
Following the recent announcement of the iPhone 4 which will be released on June 24th on all the major UK phone networks apart from the ’3′ network so far, I saw this as a perfect opportunity to return to blogging. I took some time off to concentrate on my education and this post marks a return with full force. Instead of writing boring paragraphs about the iPhone 4, I think it’s features are best explained when compared to other phones on the market. Hit the link below to see the comparison table (courtesy of Engadget) as well as an enthusiasm filled video about the iPhone 4.
