Not to mention a tax write off for business travel expenses. Just so happens they get a trip to the land down under out of it too. Seems like a no-brainer to me....

That's a great point. Stupid law school... I should have gone into phone-desecrating.
One thing I've been curious about is whether there is room for 1 or 2 flash memory chips in the new iPhone.
I thought I read at some point that the reason the iPhone is only available with up to 16 GB but the Touch is available with up to 32 GB is that the Touch has room to fit two chips inside it while the iPhone only has room for one. Because of that, the Touch can keep costs down by using two 16 GB chips to achieve 32 GB, but that the iPhone would have to use a single (more expensive) 32 GB chip to achieve the same capacity.
Can anyone with a better understanding of technology innards tell by looking at these pictures if that is still the case? I don't understand this stuff enough to tell this on my own...

Where are the 10 antennas everyone keeps talking about? Are they on the bottom of that "dock connector" assembly like on the last one? Or am i missing something
You're confusing antennae with radios. There are 10 radios on the circuit board that can get us all the connectivity on the iPhone. They all go through one antenna.
Beat me too it...
You'd think that if you flew across a quarter of the planet to take a picture that MILLIONS of people are going to look at...you'd wash your darned hands first!
Geez
Inquiring minds want to know if there is a Sony Felica RFID chip inside... so the Japanese & Europeans can pay train & metro tolls, etc.
I thought there were still about 4 hours to go until 8:00 AM in NZ. Am I wrong, or did they get the phone earlier?
I was under the impression it was always hot, so i flew there in shorts and t-shirt and froze my ass off when I arrived. brrrrrrrr was not expecting that.
"Battery is not soldered on"
They soldered the battery on before. what a bad design. horrible. it's like lock yourself on an office chair. whenever you need to get up you have to use a key to unlock yourself.

I would have cut my finger nails in line too. Why would they have dirt in their fingernails? Not like they are out camping. =p
They opened at midnight for this.
North hemisphere summer = South hemisphere winter
It'll be Dock Connector, but some accessories might not fit due to the different outer dimensions.
