Apple is set to announce the second generation of the iPhone, to replace the the less than one year old original, at an event in San Francisco, according to an article on KYW1060.com.

Apple has kept quiet about new features of teh device, but that hasn’t stopped bloggers and speculators from guessing, and some details have been discovered.

The next iPhone will use AT&T’s 3G network, giving users high-speed access. There is also expected to be a built-in GPS system. Beyond that, other speculated features include two-way video chat capability and lower prices via AT&T subsidies.

Apple will also announce an upgrade for existing iPhones at the event. Users will now be able to buy and install third-party software on to their phone.

As the weather heats up, people turn to shorts, t-shirts, and flip-flops, but this may not be good for your feet, according to an article on KYW1060.com.

The flat rubber shoes may be good for they are not the best choice for long periods of time, according to Dr. Tracey Vlahovic, associate professor at Temple University’s School Podiatric Medicine:

“Most people, their feet just don’t match up with a flip-flop. Most people have a bit of a flat foot and sometimes wearing a flip-flop can exacerbate any problems they have or may have.”

If foot pain develops, she recommends trading the flip-flops for some good running shoe or other footwear that has arch support. Furthermore, stretching leg muscles before and after wearing flat shoes can help.
