Holy crap... thats weird...
Also, does this mean there's no videochat or is that unrelated?

Yes, Im sure they would but, I wouldn't count on it...
GTAIV - 3.6 million in 1 day... A tuesday at that... and it wasn't $400... and no $60 monthly contract.
How many did the 1st iPhone sell in the first day?
I'm not expecting much, except...
The ARM processor may be the same, but they upped the other processor, the GOLD3 that does a lot of the work. It is extremely powerful. And, the chips they seem to be using are very, very low power, so battery should be good even with the following:
In this phone's hardware I expect 3G at 7.5Mb/s down, GPS with a fix in as little as a second and updating as much as twice per second, video recording, second small camera, stereo Bluetooth, the chips can handle up to 5 megapixel camera so that depends on the camera hardware they picked, up to 32GB main memory... And that's hardware. I think they went for some really, really top notch hardware for this worldwide model. We will get software to match as well, over the next year. 2.0 will start us off with iChat, wireless sync, push mail, enterprise features, and significant new apps. When they say it is OSX in there, they ain't kidding, as those who have played with the SDK can attest. They made a software platform worthy of MUCH MORE than just a phone. We will see other products using this OS.
I expect a tablet at some point. The key is, the Apple tablet won't be a scaled down Mac. It will be a scaled up iPhone/Touch. Cocoa Touch can handle it easily. Very thin like the phone, great screen that uses touch and Wacam-like stylus both. Touch, Ink. No keyboard! You want a keyboard or mouse, use Bluetooth. I expect we will see it by January. Screens shall go OLED by then - brighter, thinner, lower power all at once.
I also expect a line of displays. Touchable displays. Why do you think new displays have been delayed for so long? Mac OS 10.6 will handle touch. The display will be thin and able to go flat or at a 20 degree angle. Use a finger or Wacom-like stylus. Perhaps small ones with built in WiFi, battery and enough brains so the unit will be able to do Apple Remote Desktop and literally be a remote desktop screen to any Mac on the internet. I expect the phones themselves will get this ability as well, probably in this iteration. I.e., the lines between external display, tablet, and pocket devices will blur. Nicely.
There I said it!

Maybe it just needs better programmed safari.
Perhaps that Squirrelfish thing for javascript and a load more optimisations. I'd rather see them go that route than the traditional method with desktops of throwing more and more power in to make up for the bloat..Flash player used to clog things up on my /dual G5/ lol. People just need to get back to programming properly. :/ (not that i'm saying that's easy or realistic)
I think he meant if it would work on their network, i.e. unlocking the phone. After all, Softbank (in Japan) isn't GSM.
This means nothing, if you go by this there is no camera in the front or back. So this is not complete, we will see, dont loose hope yet.
Verizon is not GSM so not possible even if apple did not have exclusive contract with AT&T. Unlocking can get you T mobile but that is it.
Sounds awesome.
I can live without a better camera but GPS is essential.
Everyone is expecting it now as so many rumours have said it will be in so major let down if not in.
I think apple will also do something special with GPS too and make it a new must have and useful feature. GPS will be one if the big thrusts for this device.

The current processor is underclocked so adding a faster processor wouldn't be able to help unless it ran cooler then what they already have.
Or best kept...
What if what they have planned will blow us away? Remember iPhone 1? We all knew it was coming, but we didn't expect it to be anything like the way it turned out. At best we thought it would be touchscreen with a slide out keyboard. And we all know how well that turned out.
All I'm saying is maybe what they're hiding is so good they're creating hype for a product not even close to as good as what they will announce.
How do you derive GPS from the cited hardware specs?
For the non-EE's, I didn't see anything in the hardware specs that indicated that the phone supported GPS (no Garmin or Trimble reference). Which of the devices is a GPS chipset? Or is the GPS derived from cell tower position? Please forgive my ignorance.
