As much as I hate the iPhone, I do really like when they release improvements to it. The better the iPhone gets, the better every competing phone must get.

Glad I waited.

That girl is using the phone backward. Nothing like girls with iPhone.

If Apple really wants to lawl all the way to the bank, they'll get rid of the Carrier-specific shenanagains, toss out models that do both CDMA/EVDO and GSM/UMTS(HSDPA). Not only would this step up the bar for ALL phones, but it would alleviate some of the network issues AT&T has been having, as well as not annahilate the Verizon EVDO network like the iPhone 3G and 3Gs did to AT&T.

As much as Verizon fanboys WHARRGARBL about their network, if big V had the influx of users and sheer network payload that AT&T went through with the iPhone, they wouldn't fare any better. Remember kiddos, coverage doesn't necessarily imply capacity.

Correction to the first sentence: "toss out two models, each doing either CDMA/EVDO or GSM/UMTS(HSDPA)."

Maybe she is looking for the battery compartment. LOL!

wow, now that it can physically run 2 threads at a time, might it finally get F'ing multitasking?? these specs WOULD be exciting, except I got excited over the specs of the 3GS, they are great IN THEORY but they are yet to be taken full advantage of! I would have thought apple would have focused on features rather than specs this time round...

the problem with the 3GS might have been that if you coded apps to take full advantage of it, it wouldn't be compatible with the old version (openGL 1.0 vs 2.0(shaders)) fortunetly, the same will not be true for the new version, it will be much more compatible with the 3gs, as new versions come out, hopefully we can drop support for the first gen one, and begin to take full advantage of the new tech while still suporting older models , down to the 3GS, with ease.

It looks like Apple's products aren't so easy to use after all!

LOL!

Contrary to popular belief, the iPhone DOES support multitasking. You can listen to music while surfing the web or checking e-mails no problem. The restriction is SOFTWARE based. Jailbreak the phone and you can have as many applications running as the phone's memory can handle.

The QUALITY of the camera needs to improve, and it needs a flash.

True support for multitasking would be nice, but it should be an option you activate yourself. Why? Because normal people are too stupid to close apps, thus resulting in poor performance. We wouldn't want the technologically dense individuals giving it a bad name.

I'd also like to see FLASH SUPPORT!!!! This is completely unacceptable in a smartphone now-a-days.

And finally, I seriously doubt Apple will add a removable battery. It would make the battery smaller and the phone fatter. Besides, by the time the iPhone's battery really degrades, it's already time to renew and buy the NEW iPhone with your discount.

hmm, faster processing eh? wonder how that will improve video game performance?

 

[Guest]

I hope the 4G version will be able to run Crysis. =D

 

[welshmousepk]

I just hope it doesn't take them too long to release the iPod equivalent. I'm not signing a contract, but i want the device anyway.

 

[mfarrukh]

Can't wait for it
Gonna have to drop some things from my new PC

 

[bhaberle]

What about Sprint... *tear*

The exclusivity contract with AT&T ends this year. There is hope.
Luke Wilson will need to actually make movies for a living.

Maybe she's just looking at it...

[citation][nom]Smochina[/nom]Not allowing multitasking is not a processor issue. It's a security decision in the first place. And there is multitasking in Iphone, most Apple apps can run in the background.[/citation]

Yah, but wouldn't it be nice if you could open an instant messenger on it and then do something else and messenger would stay logged in?

Higher resolution screen would be sweet, dual core? Sure why not.

Removable battery? That shouldn't be a feature, honestly thats only a feature with apple products... Its common place with everyone else.
