Wondering just how well your browser stacks up when it comes to HTML5 compatibility? We were, so we took a number of devices (both desktop and mobile) and sent them off to html5test.com to see how they performed.

Full disclosure; I realize that we really didn't give IE a fair shake here.. IE9 is about to be launched and should firm up the numbers and we didn't have a copy of the beta - though we've not heard great things.

Also the Blackberry score is from Blackberry 6 (not released yet) so take it with a massive grain of salt.

Apple's iPhone 4 was just dealt a fairly significant blow, from a PR perspective anyway, as it's iPhone 4 can't be recommended by the leading consumer advice group. Consumer Reports does rate the other (read: non-phone) aspects of the device higher than any of its competitors, but was able to replicate the pesky antenna issue and thus directs users to the outdated iPhone 3GS if they want to make calls in an area of questionable AT&T coverage and don't wish to employ a bumper case of stick a bit of tape on the side.

As just about everyone knows, Apple is working on a software patch which will help the iPhone to correctly display signal bars but hasn't confirmed the antenna issue as a hardware design flaw.

Apple today announced that the iPhone 4 is the most successful product launch in their history selling 1.7 million of the sold out devices in only three days.

Macworld just did a pretty exhaustive comparison of the iPhone4's new 5-megapixel camera and the rest of the latest super phones including the DroidX and EVO 4G. It's a pretty comprehensive run-down and features photographic evidence in addition to opinion. (The shot above, for example, is the EVO 4G's 8-megapixel camera to the left and the iPhone4 to the right).

"The iPhone 4 had, by a healthy margin, the best exposure and color scores of the entire bunch, beating out even the point-and-shoot cameras."

The quote that really summarizes things is simply: "We're not going to beat around the bush -- in our approximation, the iPhone 4 is the best smartphone on the market right now."

Let me just say that at this point in time.. we can't wait until tomorrow...

If you're waiting for an iPhone4 to arrive... your wait may be shortened by a day or so.. I just got this email (I pre-ordered the iPhone on the 15th).. it appears that the iPhone may be arriving a full day early.. despite what FedEx says. 

It's definitely not earth-shaking.. but it's decidedly non-Apple, isn't it?!

There are two big releases for Apple this week. Naturally the iPhone 4 is landing on doorsteps and retail shops on Thursday, but the other, arguably much more important, launch happened a few hours ago. 

iOS4 is here and not only is it responsible for many of the iPhone 4's new bullet points; Multi-tasking, folders, unified inbox and iBooks just to name a few, it's also going to bring the iPhone 3G, 3GS and iPod Touch up to speed.

If you've got questions about iPhone OS4 (now known as iOS4) you need look no further than this amazingly comprehensive document by Rene Ritchie. It covers essentially everything from device compatibility to what new wallpaper graphics are included.

If you wanted an iPhone 4 and had the right mix of luck and patience yesterday, consider yourself one of the chosen few. Apple and AT&T could barely keep their sites functioning yesterday and yet managed to set a new record. 600,000 phones. Pre-sold.

"Yesterday Apple and its carrier partners took pre-orders for more than 600,000 of Apple's new iPhone 4. It was the largest number of pre-orders Apple has ever taken in a single day and was far higher than we anticipated, resulting in many order and approval system malfunctions. Many customers were turned away or abandoned the process in frustration. We apologize to everyone who encountered difficulties, and hope that they will try again or visit an Apple or carrier store once the iPhone 4 is in stock." (Apple PR)
