Apple needs to include iChat, plus make a Windows version of iChat (so we can use it with more people).

I doubt it.. Why on earth would the iphone need to be more powerful? That would just eat the batteries. It already runs rings around the PSP and pretty much every handheld device on the market. The CPU is already great.![]()
Also nice to know the people who're making games already are working on the same basic spec as the 2nd generation.
I have been reading the product brief for this chip and can find nothing to back up this claim. While is can be interfaced with A-GPS, I don't think it actually has a GPS chip on board.
EDIT: NVM that last part, I was reading about the wrong chip![]()
poppe said:Same processor?
Same processor but more powerful perhaps?
How come everyone talks about this for the most part useless stuff.... don't get me wrong.... I like toys also.
My wish and think it would make sense to put in the new phone is 802.11n! Most want to use WiFi and Apple like to put it in every product, but when you have a b/g device on the network with n everything slows down. If Apple is pushing the 802.11 thing then it would make sense if not even in the first iPhone to put this in there.
Just my two cents!![]()
So true, we don't need the extra confusion of apps needing some specific iPhone model. All the apps will have to work on all models and hanging on to the original hardware is the best and cheapest way to do this.
It does seem odd that they would put the same processor in the new iPhone.
Though I am completely happy with the performance of the processor in the current model, I think that they would want to increase the power with the App store and third party Apps coming out. This would provide more flexibility for developers. I guess we are at the point that we will just have to wait and see on Monday.
Tri-band would be great. Anything other then 3g is just icing on the cake. The original was almost perfect!

802.11n!
That's the truth. It'd be nice to spread the iChat love.
I end up using Adium all the time, even though it doesn't have all the nifty features. I have lots of friends on gTalk and MSN as well, not only AIM and apple's protocol.
The iPhone doesn't need to be more powerful. I don't see much of a point.
Let's say the new iPhone comes out and it's 40% faster. Developers will still have to target applications to run on the old iPhone too, so nothing will max out that extra 40% without dropping support for the old iPhone, and the dev would lose too much money cutting out half of their market base.
No, let's save the battery power and just put a lower powered CPU at the same speed, or put the same CPU.

Quad-band GSM is no unusual feature for UMTS phones. Actually, not having quad-band GSM (or not having EDGE, BTW) would be unusual.Would have to be quad-band at least to be useful. GSM 850/1900 for North America, 900/1800 for Europe.
... and why there won't be a CDMA iPhone.And you know how Apple always makes one hardware version for all markets (which is why there's no Mac with a built-in TV tuner, for instance).
If you pay to much attention to your dash-mounted GPS iPhone, you might just get to heaven "literally" too.![]()
