Apple Posts 4 New FaceTime Ads

Apple has just started rolling out four new iPhone 4 commercials, each of them about FaceTime.

The new ads, available for streaming here, are named “Meet her”, “Haircut”, “Smile” and “Big News” - all of them are focused on every day situations that will surely help people better understand the whole FaceTime concept.

Well played, Apple. Check out the videos below.

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]

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.
