I think they've made speed improvements in the OS or maybe Safari since I upgraded, but it was truly night and day speed difference for me when I went to 3GS.
Got a tip for us?

Still on the 2G, so slow that it cant even play music without skipping.
Oh well, at least it can still text, making calls is another trip down laggy hell lane.

I know - the texting fees are ridiculous - they've just made so much money from them and they won't give it up. I think all the carriers are in collusion on the texting fees.
I read an article about a study someone did on the costs of texts. It was found that data is cheaper from the hubble space telescope per byte of data. It's just retard.
Wow! I just found out I have Acute Bronchitis (No joke nor a lie nor a prank). I was in the ER for more than 7 hours. My point? I had totally forgotten tomorrow was the day of WWDC. Looks like I will be bundled all Zoned out , watching the festivities!!!
I have high hopes for the A4 CPU in the new phone
-h
A4 would be blazing fast but battery life is the question. remember iPad has very big battery ...
i predict:
1. joke about someone left an iphone at the bar
2. 80% iphone?ipad and new iphone/ipad os
3. someone from microsoft will be on stage
4. introduces new macbook air
5. itunes 10 featuring live 'streaming tv' that can connect to new pocket size mac tv
6. os 10.7 mentioned briefly with a release of one year from wwdc
7. a special guest from apple's past

The number of Apps installed has no effect on the speed of the iPhone unless it is Jailbroken , in which case,..all bets are off
It's not a Windows Machine.
And Unless he has the Multi-Tasking of OS4 before the rest of us, he can only use one App at a time anyway.
I am very excited about tomorrow. This will be my first iPhone and I can't wait for it to hit the stores.
I will be updating my two year old iPhone this year. I'm really excited to hear (officially) what I'll be getting!!
Yea!!
Yea!!
Just remember how big the iPad display is and how much more power it needs. The new iPhone's display is much smaller than that and wont use that much power. Don't forget the battery in the new iPhone is bigger than the last 3 generations are.
It's totally fake, but still interesting. Noticed a lot of people retweeting this photo recently.

Actually it doesnt really matter how many applications or software is installed either on windows or osx, it depends if its running in the background. Both osx and windows would slow down if your running more programs in the background.
Anyway, I guess given the same amount of time on what you can do on a 3GS as to a 3G iPhone the difference in speed is HUGE.
As former SF Giants pitcher Mike Krukow would say, "grab some pine, meat."
I buy Apple products too.
Whether you like it or not, the primary responsibility of Apple Inc. is to increase shareholder value. End of discussion. If you can't accept that, then forget about B-school. I pointed out that AAPL shareholders have a considerably different perspective about how Apple runs its business.
I realize that human beings are emotional creatures and that money/economics don't influence every single spending decision, but by in large, a quite a few commenters here would really benefit from at least reading Apple's SEC filings.
Why?
Because people here like to comment about how Apple runs its business. If more people read Apple's SEC statements, we'd have some higher quality discussion about reasonable directions for Apple to take based current successes, potential opportunities, etc.
If you want to go to B-school, you will need to learn all of this stuff. Trust me: Apple is a B-school case study of what not to do (late-Eighties/early-Nineties) and what to do (post 2000).
You figure out what you want from your education.
If you don't like what you're reading here, forget B-school. Go get an art degree. That's what I have. I'm proud I have it, but shareholders care about quarterly earnings statements, not my effing degree.
Oh, you don't need to go to B-school to learn about business. Steve Jobs doesn't have a college degree. Neither does Larry Ellison. Nor Bill Gates.
If you want to blog about Apple and not do your laundry (as PatrickCocoa here claims), be our guest.
But keep buying those Apple products. Thanks!
Wrong.
Apple cannot increase the value of it's shares without happy consumers. Therefore, their primary responsibility is actually customers. Increasing values of shares is a result of that.
Unless they add a ton, I wont be in any lines. I'll be keeping my new EVO. The iphone is not nearly as "MAGICAL" as it used to be.
From what? The stacks and stacks of dollar bills falling on him he made off Windows 7? Seriously, its OK to love Apple without being a fanboy. Really, it is.
Apple's probably got armed guards around the iPhone tonight. There's no way they're letting any last-minute info out to the people.

Why, because a bunch of nerds on the Internet care about hardware before it's released? The vast majority of the people that will buy one don't give a ****. All this secrecy and idiocy isn't doing a thing other than getting more and more people to switch to Android.
You can use iChat with a free AIM account. All of the features like video chat and screen sharing work, too. You can also text and video chat with AIM for Windows users.
You don't need a MobileMe account to use iChat.
And if you have a gmail account you can use that too.
