So does anyone have an idea of when the next iphone is coming out? i heard march but i don't know about that.
I would guess June-July, just like the previous iPhones. I would think they want to catch the original iPhone owners as soon as their contracts are up.
That's a bad idea where business creeps too far into engineering.
If you want a cache'd set up, then how about Servers provide cached tiers that business customers can subscribe to where they periodically refresh their content, leaving the phone subscriber to only fetch ``changes'' from their databases every so many hours, days or weeks.
At the same time today Microsoft's Steve Balmer announced that Microsoft will be doing the very same thing. "We've been copying whatever anyone, and especially Apple, comes up with for decades and will continue to aggressively follow everyone making loud announcements of our intentions."
Balmore unveiled a new 8 core architecture with each core running one of the flavors of Vista. "Not only will we be able to run background tasks, but in case of a blue screen crash the other core will be able to keep running different internet tasks. We intend to make Ex-President Bush vision of 'the internets' a reality."
As usual after one of Steve Balmer's announcements, Microsoft's stock fell five points.
I hear these A9 Cortex cores will be using a special instruction set optimized for the ifart. It's called the cortexfarter and should bring multifarting and switching between farts to a new level of speed. If these cores go into the iphone we are going to have ourselves not just a smart fart phone, but a premium ultra mobile fart powerhouse.
This gonna knock some people right off their feet!
A Mini DisplayPort to hook it update to a Cinema Display and replace your laptop or desktop. Of course 32Gb, 64Gb, or more RAM would be desired. You'd also need bluetooth for a mouse and keyboard hook-up.
Of course the high-end one would forego the DisplayPort and have a mini-projector built-in to sport a large high-res display on any wall.
I wonder if they'll continue basing the names on new technologies in the phone. Maybe something to do with quad core?
Wouldn't be as good naming as 3G though since the advantages of having a quad core aren't as obvious to most people.
I think it is irresponsible for the author of this article to suggest the next iPhone could even possibly use an ARM Cortex-A9 based CPU, and particularly not to even mention the (single core only) ARM Cortex-A8, which is the direct successor to the ARM 11(iPhone), and which is already available in many system-on-a-chips from the likes of T.I. (OMAP3), Qualcomm, Samsung, etc. The Cortex-A9 is the successor of A8, and not only adds multi-core support, but the cores are an out-of-order processing evolution of the A8.
Anyways, my point is that it is very unlikely the very next iPhone will use a Cortex-A9 because they are not even sampling yet, and production system-on-a-chips utilizing the cores won't even be in production until Q2 2010. (See T.I. OMAP4).
It is MUCH MORE likely the next iPhone will use a chip with the ARM Cortex-A8 which though limited to single core, is twice as fast as an ARM11 at the same clock speed, and which run at between 600-1000+Mhz. This core is used in the T.I. OMAP3 series which is used in the new Palm Pre..

Got me lost on this.

TI OMAP4 uses the same cpu core ARMv7 architecture as the others.
Code:
TI touted the following additional features for its initial OMAP44x SoCs:
* Built in 45nm process technology
* 12 mm x 12 mm x 0.4 mm POP (package-on-package)
* POWERVR SGX540 graphics engine
* 3D UI support
* Resolutions up to WSXGA (1680x1050)
* HDMI compatible
* 10+ hours of 1080p HD video playback
* 4+ hours of 1080p HD record
* 140+ hours of CD quality audio playback
* "Pre-integrated" with TI's various wireless radios, including WiLink Wi-Fi, NaviLink GPS, and BlueLink Bluetooth
* "Pre-validated" modem interface software for "any" external modem
* Support new TWL6030 and TWL6040 PMICs (power management ICs)
* Supports Pico projection technology
* Third-party tools and kits, such as Zoom OMAP mobile development platformsBut you are correct that 3rd iPhone if released in 2009 - at any time will NOT have it.
It's possible now. Apple just has to decide people need the feature, just like copy/paste.
i know.
i was just being sarcastic.everyone i know uses MMS and so it frustrates me when i get those stupid viewmymessage.com texts. ESPECIALLY when the site says it can't retrieve the image. so stupid...

Without the proper emoticons, I'm forced to assume ignorance based on the majority of questions that come out about apple hardware
Not sure what you want to know. Everything I said in that post is correct.
The recent ARM CPU core family goes like this: (DSPs, graphics chips, video decoding, etc are taken care of by the SoC manufacturer, and are independent of the ARM core)
- ARM11 (ARMv6 instruction set)
- single or multi-core, in-order processing
- used in iPhone and most other cellphones
- ARM Cortex-A8 (ARMv7 instruction set) (approx 1.5-2x faster than ARM11)
- single core only, in-order processing
- Palm Pre, New gen of Nokia internet tablets and eventually most future high-end smartphones
- ARM Cortex-A9 (ARMv7 instruction set) (approx 3-4x faster than ARM11)
- single or multi-core, out-of-order processing
- production-ready system-on-a-chips available sometime in 2010
As I mentioned earlier, I don't think Apple will be going for multiple ARM cores anytime soon, but more likely designing something like the new chip from freescale.
It has 5 cores, but only 1 multipurpose, the others run DSP, 2D graphics, 3D graphics and video decoding. Each core can be powered down independently allowing for very low power usage.

I've also seen confusion about threading. All of these cores, even the cortex A9, are single-threaded cores.
If it was your $200 I was spending, I would gladly spend that money for an upgrade.
LOL you did get me with my screen name. But I do have to disagree with you regarding AT&T as if I owe them anything. The horse is paid for and with profit. As soon as they start giving out subsidized/free phones and stop giving me my monthly bills, I assure and promise you that I would send them a thank-you note.
I hate to reign on the parade for all you apple fanboys, but in terms of mutli-core platforms the Cowon S9 is the first.
Aw....that means apple wont be able to say it pioneered or 'revolutionized' whatever it is they'll be planning on spinning around in their future ad campaigns.

Your majesty, there is one major design flaw. It looks like you can only use this device to call with one another if within shouting distance range. Unfortunately, this is too short for me.
