A big picture does not necessary = a good picture. Megapixels don't mean that much
yea its much more about the quality of the sensor than the megapixels
megapixels is just pixel density, not pixel quality
Got a tip for us?

No, but Carl Zeiss lenses with real flash, autofocus, shutter buttons, etc do.
Seriously, they need to improve the camera, but bumping a ****** 2.0 megapixel camera to a 3.2 isn't going to beat a Nokia rocking 8 megapixels with a Carl Zeiss lens.
They might call it "the best camera on an iPhone yet", but that's not saying much.
A 3.2MP mcamera can easily beat an 8MP camera, as long as the parts used are of decent quality. The 2MP sensor used in the first two iPhones was quite good, the lens wasn't. A slightly better lens combined with autofocus should be enough for a good 3.2MP camera.
I think its nice if it does, but the I cannot run with an iPhone. Feels like a brick attached to my side (not so much the weight but the form factor). I love my shuffle for running!
After talking about other topics..Snow Leopard, ect. The discussion will turn to the iPhone and will go like this.
1. New iPhone slide comes up with the name iPhone Video.
2. A picture will be shown of the device with the glossy back and NO front camera. Sorry girls..
3. The first feature to be discussed is the new camera which will be touted as "the worst camera on a cell phone ever" or something to that effect.
4. Video recording, Video Editing, and YouTube uploading will be demoed on stage.
5. Phil will also talk about Auto Focus and how improved the picture taking quality is on the phone.
6. Then the sentence "but for all that video editing, you will need some real processing power" which segues into the announcement of much faster processor and ram upgrades.
7. New applications focusing on the camera will be shown. As well as 3D games to show off the new speed of the iPhone.
8. Finally the storage sizes at 16gb and 32gb will be made official along with the price points of $199 and $299 which have "been proven to be a highly successful and competitive prices in the current market.
And that's it. Don't bookmark this page because come Monday, you won't be re-reading this and think I'm from the future. Because, I'm not.
Lakers win the world series. Oops wrong sport.
1. Not an iPhone Video
2. No Matte back
3. The first feature to be discussed was not the camera and no one said it was the best on a cellphone ever..
4. None of that was demoed on stage, all was pre recorded, youtube wasn't demoed at all.
5. True
6. No processor or ram talk, all they said was "magic" if I recall correctly, and overall better performance, this was talked about before the camera, I believe.
7. No applications focusing on the camera. Game demos yes, but nothing to do with the new speed, it was all demoed before the iPhone, the focus was on the new OS, if I'm not mistaking.
8. I believe Phil said they were going to be even more aggressive with the 99$ price point.
Don't know about the Cubs and I think you're from the past..
