I put a few things in bold that stand out to me.
-Discontinued Metal band: Thats new, maybe the next iPhone will actually be Unibody.
-Apple logo lights up: I have heard this rumor somewhere before... I really hope this happens. It would make the iPhone really stand out compared to other phones.
-Turn by turn directions: I guess they mean that this will only be available to use in the SDK, not added into the Maps application.
-July 17th: I really hope it happens then. I might actually get an iPhone before the Summer ends 😀
