new iPhone
 
Reading a feed from the keynote at WWDC. 326ppi "Retina" display. Front and rear cameras. And a failed live demo :D

that's some kind of code for something, right? are spoons involved?

960 x 480 display - wow. Is that overkill?

Interesting that the case is now part of the antenna.

Demo fail due to WiFi network in the building? Surprised they didn't set up a MAC-locked WiFi AP just for the demo.

Gyroscope built-in. Combined with accelerometer you have some cool new capabilities for UI.

oh, and HD video recording 720p @ 30fps.

Sounds great. SO's eligible for un upgrade. Time to be a fanboy.

I would love to hear the key note debrief with Jobs. I can't believe they didn't have a dedicated network.

iPhone 4 will be "the thinnest smartphone on the planet" at 9.3 mm thick. That's 24 percent width of iPhone 3GS. WOW!!!!

The Netflix app for the iPhone will be available later this summer, for free. Lets you get movies on the go.

Seems like movies could get expensive if you exceed your data limit.

Isn't that why Al Gore invented wifi?

Yup, there have been rumors floating around that Verizon would get it this year, but the last thing I read was that AT&T's contract with Apple isn't up until 2012. I love Apple, but not enough to leave Verizon.

RWebb 06-07-2010 03:15 PM

huh - HTC just about caught with Apple, and then...

stealthn 06-07-2010 03:54 PM

Very cool, now drivers can video chat instead of texting while driving :D


Sad no Macbook Air update though...

911Rob 06-07-2010 04:19 PM

It's about time they got this done! Cuzz everytime I pick up my iPhone I'm thinking, damn this thing is too thick!!! Ha, ha.

In some respects, I agree. But it depends on how you use the phone and the features you want.

Micro-SD slot? Nope
Removable battery? Nope
Teathering build in? Only if you pay extra
Unlimited data? Not anymore

I can go on and on. But that isn't the point. If the iPhone does it for you, fantastic. If not, well, there are a lot of other choices. And while I like WM, I think Droid will be the real competition.
