I believe a 6" diagonal size would still be shirt pocketable. At least it would fit in a coat pocket. The Ipad is so big that you can't just carry it casually around with you. You have to have a good sized purse or small backpack or you are stuck with holding onto it like a book constantly
The third-generation iPod touch is noticeably faster than the first-generation (I have both) and the graphics are also better.
Other major benefits are the built-in speakers (very handy) as well as the volume rocker. I found the omission of these in the first device to be rather inconvenient. If you own the second generation iPod touch, I can see why you might not want to upgrade to the current model.
I am pretty confident the new iPhone will be running on 4.0. iPhone 2G @ 1.0, iPhone 3G @ 2.0, iPhone 3GS @ 3.0, iPhone 4G @ ?...quite obvious
It makes perfect sense. In order for Apple to ship an iPad in March, they would have needed a stable OS (iPhone OS 3.x).
They had to fork the code (3.2) independently of the iPhone/iPod touch (3.1.x) in order to get the thing running but when iPhone OS 4.0 comes around, all the devices should be back on the same source code branch.
After looking at the iPad specs, I don't think its impossible for Apple to sell a unlocked 8GB iPhone 3GS for $349..And the 16GB and 32GB will get that new Apple A-4 chip thats in the iPad, still locked with AT&T. As far as the iPod Touch, I think that it will get a camera in its next revision, I also think that the 8GB will be discontinued and replaced by a new 16GB for $199
didnt we see this one whole year ago with the 3.0 betas that the iphone 2,1
and 3,1 were around? like really does this need to be front page stuff?

I think that they wanted to reveal the big software update with the more established and succesful product. They introduced the iPad hardware, now they will introduce the updated OS as they always do in March and release it in June. iPad will still ship with 3.2, but will be able to upgrade with OS 4.0.
With a $20+ upgrade tax? they did it before and that's why I tell people to at least wait until the Ipad ships with the 4.0 os.
Also Apple, you need to start updating the iPhone on a 6-9 month cycle now or else you are going to be getting behind the competition! One year isn't going to cut it anymore!
No way Mac . . behind the comp? Never. I am still mad about that tablet though.
Town Hall Meeting.
I disagree. There is nothing to suggest that the code name has anything to do with the update scope. Looks pretty random to me or at least, not tide to a specific feature set change.
This is great news finally!
Wow, this is great. And I thought that Apple was going to stop there with the iPhone and the Touch, but now all of a sudden this great news tells us that they are actually working on new models. I am so glad that there a smart people out there that spend hours searching through folders deep inside SDKs to find these great news! Now I don't have to rely on the Buyer's Guide anymore.

I wonder if the iPhone and iPod Touch are headed for larger screens--the Dell Mini 5 is (supposedly) coming out soon with a pretty nice sized screen. An iPod Touch with that size screen as an option might be enough to convince me to get one.
Well, duhh! One product number for the AT&T iPhone and another for the Verizon iPhone! Obviously the N90 will be the Verizon version and will pop onto the list when version 4.0 is ready for prime time.
One possibility is the N90 is real and it is the late 2010 Verizon iPhone. To solve the simultaneous voice and data issue, it will use simple multi-tasking (Apple blessed-internal only) and VoIP for the voice layer.
