It will certainly be large enough to support 720p (1280x720). Watch them push "HDTV" hard.
It's the Maps Application, so that's the search/directions toggle. Only "Directions" is visible.

So we have learnt something new here, it's so heavy it takes 3 people to carry. Interesting.. there's always a catch.
I generally don't read Calacanis (because he can be annoying) so I just looked at Twitter.com on my iPhone to read his tweets. It wasn't until I refreshed for older stories did i see the BS. I'll be sure to hammer him to LaPorte when he's on during the next TWIT.
As for Calacanis, he lost what little respect had for him. He may be from Brooklyn (like me) but he's literal crap in my mind now.
Question
Am I the only one seeing a translucent screen? Maybe it's just glass between where the screen actually ends and the bezel begins?
A company did release a prototype of a transparent screen at CES, so maybe I'm just remembering that and seeing things?

The solar panels patent parallels what Jason Calacanis said on his Twitter. While I'm skeptical of the guy, this may be more than coincidence.
Nice, I see it now. I thought it was two words. So like arn posted, are we going with this
as the actual bezel? Seems to match the ear piece and home button layout we are currently looking at.
Care to share how you measured? I've posted my rationale for 1024x768 earlier in the thread and would love to be proven wrong.
I think there is only that directions button and the search is that magnifying glass and text field on the top right
I saw nothing in his post that couldn't be pure guesses...
Seriously, price points of 599, 699, and 799 are pretty safe bets if you've ever seen an apple event like this. And even if he ends up being wrong about the price, well Apple could've changed them at the last minute or some shiz like that.
No, it is clearly in a case made to lock down the device. Those are security screws with 3 holes.
Similar to these:
That's what I was thinking, but then I think you'd often want to hold it like a book, wrapping your fingers around the edge, so a bezel makes sense.
There are a ton of people 'seeing' a translucent screen. I have no idea what benefits it would bring if the primary use of this is to look at things on the screen -- videos, text, pictures. I think a lot of folks are seeing reflections of the ceiling and assuming that's what's behind the prototype, even though it wouldn't be well lit back there.
Calacanis is an incredibly successful entrepreneur and a highly astute man. Can we stop feeding his playful trolling by even entertaining the idea that he'd break an NDA in 27 different ways the night before a product release.
So you think fingerprint reader and solar pad on back then?
Wellll...hmm.
Remember this post of yours from just a few short days ago?
They've clearly at least been thinking about solar.

Why would they put out a controlled leak less than a day before the event to reveal it? Makes no sense.
If you can, it will be the biggest butt of phone jokes since the "Sidetalkin'" on the N-Gage.
