There's not anything sure yet, as Apple used us with, but it seems leaks show the resolution of the new iPhone will be 640x960. Another iPhone was found in Czech Republic, and bloggers in the former Soviet country talked about it a lot. Rumors say it is going to be a HVGA 640x960, up from 320x480. That a big difference, isn't it?

Reports are saying that the new iPhone will use the same LCD IPS matrix as the iPads, so it's not going to be an AMOLED in this version. The impact on image quality is big. The former iPhone had 160ppi pixel density, while the 4G will have a double amount, 320ppi. To compare with other models, Nexus One has 252ppi and the Motorola Droid/Milestone has 265.

With such a high resolution screen, it seems the iPhone 4G will need a lot under the hood to run it. The rumors of the 1GHz iPad SoC powering it up seems not just credible or incredible, but also normal if this is the case.

It's been years since the hotel owners tried to come with something new when it's about opening the door and other functions in their hotel. Marriott tried lots of different stuff (as iris scanners or biometric identifiers) four years ago, and this month InterContinental Hotel Group announced that they will trial OpenWays application in Holiday Inn Express Houston. This will bring the chance to open the room door with your iPhone, and will get another rock out of your shoulder: the key.

Soon there will probably be support for other platforms too, but for now it will only be iPhone which will get the trial. Anyway, this may be dangerous, as the sistem can be hacked, and it will not be fun when you will not have battery anymore and will have to stay in front of your door until someone comes to open the door - the normal way.

If you reserve a room at Holiday Inn, then you will be able to complete an online form to be able to test this new feature. The trial will last between 60 and 90 days, maybe longer. The application will play a signal to let the user know they now have access to the room. That's cool, in my opinion, because I was always good at missing things and not being able to find them after this. Though, I never lost my cell phone, so now I am sure I can get into my room right away.

Opera Mini, maybe the best mobile browser out there, just got an incredible 2.6 million users on iPhone in not more than two weeks since it's been released. The release dat was on 13th April and Opera announced this morning that users have been run the new version on iPhone 2.6 million times until 30th April. We do not have statistics about this period right now, but I assume that Opera reached the 3 million milestone until today.

The mobile phone web browser is one of the most used out there, and not just on iPhone. I even use it, but not on iPhone, but on Nokia N95. It's pretty sure the best out there because it offers an arguably good experience. One of the things that I don't like about the new version is, though I like Opera Mini a lot, the fact that on the frontpage there are some links that you can't change. I mean the Opera Webpage, BBC and some other ones. 

Working on most of the platforms out there offers Opera a wide-range of users that can run Mini on their devices, and now, with the browsing on the mobile phone becoming a trend, it seems Opera Mini has the whole potential in the world to become an incredible business.

BookLover is a $0.99 iPhone application for the ones who love to read and like to spend their freetime with this. It looks like Delicious Library, another iPhone application. You can organize books there, complete with book covers and even with new synopsis in some cases. You can link BookLover with your Facebook account and post on the wall your notes, and even send them by e-mail.

Anyway, nor us or MobileCrunch can find this application interesting enough, because the built in note of the iPhone will definitely be enough to do what this application can. Anyway, you should try it, as it's not expensive and you may actually like it.

Sources confirmed the new iPhone 4G/HD will have video chatting included, and Engadget confirms it now too. They seem to have someone very close to the filming of the new commercials where a daughter and her mother are video chatting. There's not any official comment on the matter, but people talked a lot about it and I think it's pretty sure the new iPhone will have video chatting.

Confirmations will probably come on 7th June 2010, at the Anual Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco. There's still a question, though: will the video chatting be available over 3G or over Wi-Fi only, but Apple will probably talk about this fact too at the conference.

The new iPhone, 4G/HD, is not official yet, but we know most of the things about it from different leaks. Now with this new model on the way in, Wal-Mart cutted the price of the previous device, 3GS, to just $97, from $199. Now Wal-Mart is not even selling the 3G iPhone, because it's considered to be "old". The new "old" model will be the 3GS, which will have the great price above.

If you're not very excited with the new iPhone, then you might be tempted to buy the 3GS, which also requests a two-year deal with AT&T. Anyway, you might just want to wait a little bit more too, because the new 4G will come with some great features, and you might just want to buy it. We do not know the price yet, but it can't be so expensive if you involve a two-year contract with AT&T.

Nissan Leaf, the first electric car of the Japanese producer will integrate iPhone in it. Nissan released a press comment saying that drivers will be able to control some of the car's features using the iPhone. You will just wait home for your vehicle to get charged and you will be announced on your iPhone when the car is ready to rumble. On the way to the car you will even be able to control the car's temperature. If outside is warm or cold weather, you could adjust the temperature from your iPhone. The moment you will enter the car and close the door you will have the ambient you wish.

Synced with the car, the iPhone will be able to tell you where you can find the nearest charging station. For safety reasons, the car will not be able to be driven or controlled by the iPhone, but it's interesting to find out the application iTunes Store will release as soon as the car is on the market.
