Google’s Nexus One apparently got Apple worried enough to rush the fourth-generation iPhone ahead of schedule. The upgraded handset should make techies happy while giving iPhone critics a few less reasons to complain.
Officials at KT, Apple’s exclusive iPhone carrier in South Korea, told the Korea Times that the Californian gadget maker might launch the fourth-generation iPhone in April, ahead of the usual June-July timeframe. Apple’s in a hurry, sources claim, because the Nexus One, Google’s so-called superphone, has upped the ante with its superior hardware based on a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and five-megapixel camera.
Sources described the iPhone 4G as having an OLED screen and front-facing camera for videoconferencing. It should run “dual-core processors and powerful graphic chips that can deliver higher video resolutions and better still images,” in addition to – surprise, surprise – a removable battery.

iPhone 4.0 rumors...
But when is Apple going to allow Skype to work over 3G and do push notifications?
iphone 2g, 3g, 3gs. What will they call the next version?
I would love to switch to an iPhone, but they need to contract with Verison first..... it’s all about coverage.
Apple allows it, it’s AT&T that doesn’t.
OLED? Those things are terrible in sunlight. I’m not buying that they will do that.
Also, this rushing the phone out idea will be a signal to other platforms that Apple is feeling the heat pretty badly, and has shifted to reactionary mode. And if CES and MWC, where Windows Mobile 7 is going to debut, is any indication, then 2010 is going to be a paradigm shift in the mobile world.
4.0.
According to the article, Verizon may just be a possibility with the G4 iPhone.
Ten years from now the three main mobile platforms are going to be Blackberry, Android, and the iPhone.
Microsoft essentially missed the boat with regards to the mobile OS.
oled are great in sunlight from what I’ve read

I guess I should have read the entire thing.
I’ll be looking forward to it.
Ping me when they get a reliable phone, a 10 meg camera and a 100 gig media player in a small tough package....
I’m sorry, but in the word of tech, predictions ten years out carry as much weight as a prediction as to who will win the lotto.
10 years ago, Apple was on the cusp of going out of business, RIM didnt exist in the US, and Palm was the king of PDAs. Google was fighting against Yahoo and AltaVista for searches.
Not sure maybe.... "Bob"
I’m sure AT&T will be able to handle video calling just fine. :/
They say that the jailbroken iPhones do a great job of carrying TV reception over ATT’s 3G network.
Consider me impressed then. I didn’t find AT&T 3G any faster than T-Mo EDGE here in Tulsa.
