iPhone4 Launch - enter Mobile Screenfest 2010 and the winner of MasterChef


Hey Mobile phone fans and new iPhone4 users!
So the iPhone4 is finally here and people went crazy all over Sydney town to get it - nutters! Some people queued from 2 AM to get the phone at midnight, outside the Optus on George St (we were there to witness it). Or maybe they were there for Kelly Rowland... nah, don't think so. The Mobile Screenfest team however, did get to hang out with Adam, winner of MasterChef and the Telstra crew.
So why the big fuss with the iPhone4 - one major breakthrough feature is of course - THE HD CAMERA. People will shooting like crazy and now we have a contest exactly for it - Australia's 1st Mobile Screenfest 2010 - all in the same year!

So shoot your videos or photos on your iPhone4 or whatever mobile (its the cheap and easy way to get famous and win big!).
