my interpretation of this is that it adds 3Mb of "new" stuff. everyone is saying its a hefty update - but no more so than the last one which added 4Mb and allowed for multiple home screens and shortcuts.
On my UK o2 iPhone, I have...
Airplane Mode - On Off
Wi-Fi - On Off
Carrier - o2 UK
Usage
Sound
Brightness
Wallpaper
etc
gruber had a post on this topic a few days ago...check it out on daringfireball.net
even though the download package was bigger than previous updates my free space remains that same as before the update...
Starbucks will never be the same...
with AT&T developing more WiFi "Hotspots" at their locations, and this "coordinated training" will require all their employees to become more computer friendly while taking those orders via the iPhone. It's been leaked here in the San Francisco Bay Area (at least 700 stores will close for about 3 hours beginning at 5:30pm) that this is just a massive retraining, but with the introduction of iPhone orders the will definitely require some sort of "computer savvy" employees.

How many people here lusting after the iPhone SDK are actual developers?
I really wanna know, cause it seems kind of silly to me for lay people to want something that they can't do anything with anyway.
Something tells me you do not use/own an iPhone.
While it has been a fun 8 months, the untapped potential is brutal - especially with the temptation(s) a jailbroken iPhone presents.
I would guess, much like me, other lay persons are interested in the release of an SDK as it signals a major step towards apps on our iPhones.
Plus, I suspect (hope) apps will be made immediately available at the time of the announcement.
I hate that bug!!!
I noticed that too. I will have to give it a try. I changed "all day" to 1200AM to 1200PM and it fixed it for now. Hope this update is a fix.

Good Design is about Good Compromise
Believe me, if Apple could have made the iPhone do EVERYTHING you wanted, without increasing cost dramatically, or decreasing battery life dramatically, or increasing complexity dramatically, they would have done it.
As Steve Jobs said, this decision is about Battery Life. Decoding video is extremely processor intensive, which hurts battery life dramatically. Apple probably added a hardware module to decode H.264, which could do the decoding without dropping the battery life as much, since it is optimized for thi purpose. If this is what they did, to achieve similar efficiency for WMV or Flash, they would have to add hardware modules for those formats too. And then you will be complaining that iPhones are too expensive at $600. If the iPhone does not serve your need, why dont you just buy another phone?
Apple has made the right choice here, going with the open Industry Standard of H.264, and if they can support Flash for cheap (in terms of money, and computing resources), they will do that too, but dont expect that anytime soon.
