Steve Wozniak on Android: “I feel like it is more like Windows”
When he’s not riding his Segway with Parth Dhebar, Woz usually talks about Apple. You know, the company he co-founded with Steve Jobs back in the old days.
This time though, he was interviewed by The Seoul Economic Daily and decided to give us an insight on his take on iPhone’s most important competitor.
The iPhone 4 Gets a Ridiculous (Yet Cool!) DSLR Upgrade
The iPhone 4 has a pretty great camera as it is, but how can you make even better? Outfit it with a full-size SLR lens.
iPhone 4: USB Vs. Outlet Charging

iPhone 4 Drop Test with Bumper
iFixyouri is doing it again. They once performed a drop test of an iPhone 4, and it took 3 drops to break the front glass. But what about Bumpers? They should offer protection, right?
Well, maybe so. But check out the video after the break, and pray that you’ll never drop your new toy. [via iFixyouri]
iOS 4 Now with Direct iTunes Access - DJ Apps Developers Rejoice
DJ apps seem to do pretty good in the App Store, but from today on, they’ll just keep getting better. One of the biggest complaints of DJ apps devs was the lack of direct access to the music library to edit songs already synced with iTunes. You had to upload another song to an app-specific library, fire up the app and find that song you uploaded.
Now, it looks like you can just pick up a song from iPod.app and start scratching.
Flash-free Nexus One Faster than iPhone 4 [Video]
We keep reading about benchmarks, but numbers are what they are - numbers. We want to see the actual results when it comes to browser speed testing. We want the javascript loading tests - we want the real thing, Jason Chen might as well add.
And there you have it, Engadget saved us all once again. They took an iPhone 4, a Nexus One running Android 2.2 (Froyo), put them side-by-side and shot a video. While opening web pages, not some geeky benchmark utility. It turns out, the Nexus One is slightly faster than the iPhone 4 with Flash uninstalled. With Flash on it though, speed is about the same.
What does this mean for us? It means that when Apple will release an update for iOS 4 (and it should happen soon) we’ll likely see the same performances on both devices, but Google will have some hard times trying to explain why the much-requested Flash plugin slows down devices. And considering that Android doesn’t get updated as often as iOS - Safari will just keep getting better and better in a few months.
Check out the videos (Flash and sans Flash) after the break. [via Engadget]

iPhone 4 Available in Spain on July 28th?
Spanish carrier Movistar sent a tweet a few hours ago, saying that the iPhone 4 should be available in Spain on July 28th.
This is the original tweet.
Please remember that Spain is among those other countries that should get the iPhone by July, but Apple hasn’t officially confirmed the release date yet. Could this be it? We hope so.
