Considering the numerous rumors that have been circulating about possible new features for the iPhone 4G, there is no wonder that there has been so much speculation about Apple’s latest gadget.  The newest iPhone got off to a rocky start with specs getting leaked and the badly handled pre-order sales, and although the iPhone 3Gs has not been out long enough to actually be outdated, and the iPad was only just recently released, you can bet that there will be millions of these new devices sold within the first couple of months of being released.

The processor has also been redesigned for more speed and higher performance from the phone, truly enabling the new phone to be used as a hand held computer and to compete with the likes of the Blackberry.  It will allow for multitasking, something that current iPhone users have been wishing Apple would enable in the iPhone for quite some time.  The new processor is also designed to help extend battery life instead of draining it faster.  They have also added new motion sensors for a better gaming experience on the iPhone 4G than
