That was a lot of information to throw out in a couple of minutes.
However, 32 billion transistors on the A4? That doesn't sound right.
It's not. I missed that. It's likely 32 million.
Even Intel's itanium only has around 2 billion transistors.
Got a tip for us?

An otherwise awesome and informative video ruined by overzealous speed freaks at the design station.

Very similar to Röyksopp´s Remind Me music video.
Remind me also won the 2002 MTV Europe Music Award for best music video

The point was not to absorb every fact presented, but to compare how much progress was required before the iPhone happened.
Its not educational, its a suggestion of how far we have come.

Good point.
...
although have we really made it that far? I suddenly feel like all that happened in the last 30 years was a bunch of spec bumps.
I'm afraid we've got a guy who owns an iPod touch and thinks he's an Apple fan there my friend..."PowerPoint"? Really?
I think, if you look at the scale of innovation, there is very little in the way of anything but a spec bump. Its just that with enough spec bumps the car is suddenly carrying a crew of 3 men to the moon.
And just because he hasn't spent several thousand dollars like the rest of us, it doesn't mean he isn't. Powerpoint is a more sensible format than a keynote presentation; it allows for more viewers, which I hear is a good thing.
Actually, I wrote that without thinking first. I use PowerPoint all day for work and was thinking it would be good in PowerPoint OR Keynote. Of course I meant Keynote since it's an Apple tale and as you can see by my signature, I hate Apple. Lol
I had a very strange urge to lick the screen while watching that video... Was that just me?
(The video wouldn't AirPlay for me, which is annoying. Wonder if that's a problem with Vimeo?)

Original iPhone sizes wrong
Enjoyed it, nice work.
There was no 16 gig original iPhone, just a 4 & 8 gig. I remember this because I paid 599'before they were subsidized for an 8 gig only for the price to drop literally the next week when AT&T started subsidizing them!

First, the speeds the chips might be capable of were only guesses based on chip construction.
Second, it's unlikely they were tested to max speed, as that would give less chip yield and could raise the cost quite a bit. It's more cost effective to only test at the desired speed.
This is correct. Also, the standard speed is dependent on all the other parts surrounding the CPU.
one small leap...
Actually, considering where computing has come from the 1980's (and even more so since the 50's) we are easily leaps and bounds further ahead today by comparison, and yet the next 15-20 years has some very special things in store for us (computing-wise) provided we can keep the momentum going with transistor shrinking and lower power draws; it's an amazing time to witness history change so quickly due to technology advances!

I agree. I bought the highest available iPhone on the first day it went on sale. 8gb was the biggest for that model. (I remember standing in a line that wrapped all the way around the mall for that phone...)
16gb didn't come until the iPhone 3G.

You can pause the video you know. That's what I did when I wanted to read the full text of a particular "slide."

It was clearly designed by H5, a french animation firm that's made some unbelievable stuff. This is a re-used concept as posted above:
Its great! My MBP barely rises 5 degrees C when watching a Vimeo video, but with a flash YouTube video its 10-20 degrees C
Plus it seems smoother and more natural
Sorry, but you're both incorrect.
While there was no 16 GB iPhone at launch, it was added mid-cycle in February 2008 alongside the first 32 GB iPod touch.

I was gonna say
.As for people wanting it slowed down ... the player has a play/pause button, and I reckon that serves all people better than a much longer video would.
It was a great ride!
Thanks for that info - I've just watched the 'ecologic' video on their site, and definitely in the same genre. Very good stuff.
ps search for 'logorama' on the iTunes store for some more H5-related stuff
Sorry to go off-thread, but in the Röyksopp video at 00.37 doesn't the waste outlet from the toilet run through the hot water cylinder?
