Within hours of officially releasing details/specs/promos for their iPhone 4, Apple has already created a sensational buzz about their new product.. We know about Apple’s talent with revolutionary product engineering, and we know about Steve Jobs’ transcendent genius with practical innovation, so maybe this shouldn’t surprise us.. except, it really does.

Developed with “Facetime” or video calling in mind, iPhone4 will boast two cameras – 1 for video calling & a 5MP still camera that also records HD Video. Apple’s already industry-leading display is also significantly upgraded, with 4x the pixel count and a higher contrast ratio on a 960×640 display – making the iPhone4 display effectively the “sharpest” phone screen ever.

Throw in a faster new processor, improved ergonomics & engineering (ultra-durable commercial-grade glass + stainless steel binding) & (useless) improvements to the iPhone’s already impressive general user interface & gaming capabilities.. Then keep in mind that the 16gig version of the iPhone4 is entering the market at a $199 (or around there) price-point, and you’ll know why I’m so impressed..

I’m a Blackberry guy, and probably will always be one. Having access to browser-free integrated email has changed my life & increased my productivity in a way I never thought possible.. and I don’t use my phone for any “useless” things like web browsing, listening to music, watching video, etc.

But for the average consumer? (aka every 16-80 yr old who just wants the most out of their phones & isn’t hellbent on uber-productivity & world domination?) The iPhone4 looks like an absolutely amazing product.. Don’t be too surprised if it changes the face of the mobile web/phone market forever..

A lot of companies & their CEOs talk about changing the world with their products.. Apple & Steve Jobs now have quite the history of actually accomplishing exactly that.
