ya, and how much memory is a 1080p movie, last time i checked it was about 20 gb, so if ur phone can only hold 32 gb that leaves no room for apps and music, so yes pointless until they start making phones with more capacity
Competition is good.
Keep fighting for our business. The wireless market is very fluid. Look how many people switched carries to get the original iPhone which was way behind in basic features.
Now we need Verizon to get the iPhone so AT&T & Verizon can fight for our business.

I think these are both true to some degree. People do care about things that are tangible like battery life, camera resolution, etc. but probably don't care about jargon like AMOLED or Snapdragon.
Yawn! Here we go again.
Verizon not Moto is behind this. Besides, Verizon is going to loose as well as the consumer. why? Because the consumers on the droid side are trying to keep up with every little tech bit that the cell phone guys can come up with. In effect they're spending way more money trying to stay on the cutting edge of a product that they buy essentially for its initial hype.
They buy one droid phone and in less than 3 week there is another droid phone.
Now Verizon has to sale this new Droid X just weeks after they went gaga over the incredible.
And this sh** is never ending. The HTC EVO, the Incredible and now the Droid X are all out there to squash the iphone. Ha ha!!!!

I don't think apple will change the way it does things, apple is not afraid of anyone! A new android phone comes out everyday! Plus too many people would be pissed if they released more than 1 iPhone per year!
Not to mention the Droid has no valuable resource (iTunes store) to legally deliver HD movies to the phone! They might be able to plug into the TV, but what are you going to watch?
That leaves 12 GB, which is plenty for apps and music for some people.
Just because it's not enough for you, it doesn't mean it's not enough for everybody.
It's NOT going to have a 1280x720 display folks!! And no matter the hardware, it still runs android (it's like the mac vs pc argument). Use what you like.

Well well, if it isn't the latest android flavor of the month.
I don't think apple can, will, or should try to compete with android phone release cycles. These guys change a few specs, slap a new name on, and release it as a new product every few months. And you're getting that from htc, moto, samsung, etc.
Once a year is fine for the iPhone. People who want iOS, iTunes integration, and the apple brand aren't going to leave because moto bumps a few specs and slaps on an "x."

I'm definitely interested in seeing how well it works that way.Jailbreak + 3g unrestrictor
But watch your data usage if you got the new data plan.
obviously not driving, but even walking around in mall or on vacation somewhere or anywhere

realllllllllllllllllllllyyyy????
thats the first i have heard of it, unlimited data plan so no worrys
Um, "setting the standard" means establishing the baseline that competitors will want to meet or exceed. So iPhone 4 sets the standard, and Droid races to catch up, which is exactly what Jobs said.
Funny that
I read an earlier post with someone bitching about AT&T. I was just in the US (from Norway) for the WWDC and I had no problems in San Francisco for the 10 days I was there with either my iPhone 3GS or iPad 3G. I had no dropped calls anywhere in the City, and my data connection was actually the only thing that saved my ass at Moscone West with the WiFi polluted by MiFi base stations. I have had similar experience in Dallas when visiting my parents.
So really, I wonder if people are just talking out their ass. I have had service with enough carriers to know they all suck in their own special way, but they all provide about the same level of service.

+1. Apple doesn't give a rats A** how anyone does anything. I promise you, Jobs and Co. care less about market share, how many they sell, etc. All they care about it putting out the best product. They don't care if other people use it, they sleep well knowing they sell the best, and use the best.
We've been doing it for years with the Mac. It might never be number one, but everyone who has a Mac knows sometimes being in the minority is just fine.
With the iPhone, people just understood it was the best phone, and therefore had people flocking to it. Apple has never produced products with the best specs, ever. Remember the days when Apple was selling computers in megahertz when every PC was in the gigahertz. THEY DON'T CARE. Their products just work and that's all that matters.
Hell, I'd almost prefer to go back to the days when all things Apple were only enjoyed by a minority.
They simply assumed the same resolution as the droid, not seeing anything to indicate otherwise. It could go either way, but I'd have to imagine they would have noticed if the ppi was indeed over 340.
For now that's true. AT&T could at some point support Facetime over 3G.
On the other hand, I might die of old age first.
Still worth having and I want to see how it plays out with industry support as a open standard.
