iPhone 4
The new iPhone 4 is not called the iphone 4g because it's plugged into the same old GSM 3g. It has a rear camera with LED flash, and a new high resolution display that doubles the pixels in each direction (960 x 640) for a 4X overall pixel count increase -- Apple calls it a "Retina Display. The iPhone will be available in white or black, retailing at $199 for the 16GB model and $299 for 32GB. They go on sale June 24th, and AT&T will be giving some extra grace upgrade timing -- up to six months early.
The new FaceTime app brings video calling to the iPhone. Unfortunately, it's WiFi-only at the moment, as Steve says Apple needs to work with carriers to support it on 3G. The FaceTime app is pretty cool -- you can flip the image between the front and rear cameras and between portrait and landscape orientation, and the video call system is built on open standards like SIP, H.264, and AAC so it'll work with other video calling apps as well.
The camera has now been upgraded to 5 megapixels, with 5x digital zoon and a "backside illuminated sensor," which now can also record HD video at 720p / 30fps now you can get your iPhone camera ready for youtube HD.
Now the iPhone 3GS drops to $99, 8gb only and the iPhone 3G discontinued.
