Is the iWork suite en route to iPhone?
Looking for more good news on the iPhone 4 front?
Our eagle-eyed tipster iJcaP points out something that MacRumors also noted: on the iPhone 4 features page for Mail, a screenshot at the bottom lets a fairly large cat out of the bag.
The picture shows an option to open a Keynote file… in Keynote. That, of course, implies a version of the iWork suite for the iPhone — currently only available for the iPad.
Screenshot mixup, or true vision of the future? Sure would be another nice thing to have for the iOS 4 launch and iPhone 4 availability, dontcha think?
Apple releases iPhone 4 stats page, video
Apple has updated its website with all of the iPhone 4 information you’ll need, including official stats for the device, lots of information about features and hardware, and the video showing off iMovie, FaceTime, and all of the other new software announced today.

WWDC 2010: iPhone 3GS drops to $99 on June 24
Starting June 24, the price of the iPhone 3GS, which began life at $199 (for 16GB) and $299 (for 32GB) will drop to $99 for the 16GB model.

This appears to be the only model of 3GS that will soon be available, with the iPhone 4 available in
WWDC 2010: Farmville for iPhone coming soon
Zynga showed up on the stage at the WWDC keynote this morning to show off one of the most-awaited (and most hated) apps coming to the iPhone: Farmville. The popular Flash-based social networking game is finally making its way to the iPhone by the end of June,
WWDC 2010: Apple announces iMovie for iPhone 4
Today at WWDC, during the keynote address, one of the things Steve dropped upon us is the new camera in iPhone 4: Yeah, the 3G S did video, but the new camera does “full HD,” at a sparkly 720p and 30fps.
This means that little handheld video camera that’s been on my Christmas list the last three years is now gone. Why get one when my new iPhone will do it?
So you fill your phone full of video. What to do with it? If it was your Mac, you’d be flexing your iMovie muscles, wouldn’t you? Now you can do the same on your iPhone: Steve showed some demos of iMovie for iPhone today, including one-click sharing, and the tap to focus that works in photos. Even the new LED flash gets in on it: You can leave it on the whole time you’re shooting. Export options are 360p, 540p, and the original 720p resolution.
And of course, the app also lets you run transitions, titles, and
