White iPhone 4 Getting Closer to Release

UPDATE (10/27): An Apple spokesperson says that the release of the white iPhone 4 is not coming any time soon. More details are available in this article:

White iPhone 4 Delayed Until Spring

Apple has promised to release of a version of the Apple iPhone 4 in a white casing, but production problems have pushed this back several months. Apple has apparently signaled that this product will be available soon.

Over the summer, an official statement from the company said, "White models of Apple's new iPhone 4 have continued to be more challenging to manufacture than we originally expected." It went on to promise that this device would be out before the end of the year.

In the mean time, those buying this popular new smartphone have been able to get it in any color that want, as long as it's black.

Ready to Start Taking Reservations
Apple released an updated version of its on-device Apple Store app last night, and this, for the first time, lists the white iPhone 4.

However, the app is not yet actually allowing uses to put in an order. Attempting to do so results in the not very accurate message: "Because of high demand, we are not currently taking iPhone reservations."

The pricing is the same as for the black version.

Apple's online store also shows the version with the white casing, but notes: "White iPhone currently unavailable for order or in-store pickup".

Overview of the Apple iPhone 4
Apple's fourth-generation smartphone is a significant upgrade from the previous one, starting with its 3.5-inch, 640 x 960 touchscreen, a much higher resolution than any iPhone has offered before.

It has a new slimmer design and runs iOS 4.1, the latest version of Apple's operating system, on a 1 GHz Apple A4 processor.

The iPhone 4 comes in two configurations: a version with 16 GB of storage costs $200 from AT&T and one with 32 GB goes for $300.

The iPhone 4 has a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera with a flash, as well as support for recording 720p video at 30 frames per second. In addition, it includes a small front-facing camera for video chatting with an app called FaceTime.

This smartphone has 3G wireless networking, as well as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a GPS receiver.
