5 seconds of listening to him speak makes me sick to my stomach. He is a geek tool unlike any other.
Forgive me, I'm too old to know proper phraseology for what he is.
I don't buy it. Why would Apple change the double tap feature for zoom to something else so that they could make copy and paste use the double tap, and then have to think up something for zoom again?
Wouldn't it be funny if Apple doesn't even do copy and paste? That would be very Apple.

The 3.0 software might have support for hardware features that the 1st and 2nd generation phones don't have. Like 2.0's GPS support which is redundant on a 1st gen phone.
You can go into Settings>General>Restrictions and turn off YouTube. It will then be gone from your SpringBoard.
This is my expectation as well. The general additions will be compatible all the way back. Some new features will be hardware specific. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Clearly, it would not change the double tap to zoom feature. This would only be possible once you are in an editable text field, at which point the iPhone recognizes the difference. Example, if you click and hold a blank page, there is no magnifying glass. While editing text, there is. You will need to be semi accurate to evoke C/C&P, for sure.
There are two distinct gestures involved here - double-tap and double-tap-and-hold. The phone can differentiate between the two, so the double-tap would still work while the double-tap-and-hold would activate the clipboard functions. They can add this without affecting the existing zoom gesture.
Indeed. Personally I think Apple have probably had a lot of trouble getting this to work satisfactorily.
I believe that if 3.0 is going to be compatible with the iPhone 3G, then there would be no reason at all they wouldn't make it work with the original iPhone. By the way, what are the chances they could increase the processor speed of the iPhone with the 3.0 firmware?
Holy cow - this changes everything! To see my home screen not polluted with UselessTube is amazing. Question: does enabling restrictions draw on the processor at all? In other words, is my phone going to be slower because I have restrictions running?
Wait, so if I were to turn off youtube would this somehow save on battery usage?
He breaks little hearts.
The fear he conjures with the possibility of LESS-than-expected makes a lot of the kiddies flip a nut and go on a rampage.
And that's the God's honest truth.
Double tap does not zoom in a text input field in Safari. Try it. So they won't be changing a currently working zoom gesture.
(...so maybe that, stacks, and a way to make an HTML5 web app built using Dashcode and SproutCore directly into an installable app which can be launched and used off-line. That would be competitive with a large portion of what the Palm Pre webOS proposes.)
Duh. Because you don't watch youtube videos on youtube.com. It just opens up the youtube app. SRSLY?????? Come on!

Kevin Rose was that cute, squirrely-looking young man who worked behind the scenes and on the Screen Savers set with Leo LaPorte and Patrick Norton from 1989-2004. When Leo left, he took his spot for less than a year before TechTV itself was gutted and transformed into the abortion that is now G4TV.
Kevin moved on in 2005 and was an integral part of founding Revision3, Pownce, and DIGG. He's worked hard - out from under Leo's and Patrick's shadows since the TechTV days. I give him credit for his success, however I don't follow why he's somehow become the Nostradamus of Apple products and their releases. Obviously, someone at Apple still thinks he's a really cute, squirrely-looking young man. Apple Messiah? No.

iphone 3.0 upgrade
does anyone know if iphone 3.0 will be available as a downloaded upgrade for iphone 2.2?

Ahem, ⌘C, ⌘X, ⌘V
The funny thing is that I use command-c + command-v all the time. I never really used command-x. Never knew about it. Now I'll use it. I see many seconds saved!
is that a joke or a misunderstanding?
There is no 512 mb of ram on board the iPhone. LOL That'd be nice.....
try 128
Well the PP has 256.... so Apple will need to match that or bump it to 384/512. I don't think it'll get that high, but it would be really nice.
Imagine, a phone with ~700Mhz processor and 384 RAM. We're into what? G3 territory here? Imagine what a g3 computer could do and then look at the iPhone.
(The current processor has 600Mhz worth of power. It's just downclocked into the 400 area.)
Maybe add another core and grand central to the SDK?
