iProd refers to the new iPhone Pro, the will retain and keep selling the iPhone 3g and offer it at a cheaper selling price. Consumers will then have a choice between standard iPhone and the pro version much like their computers.
Just my thoughts they could easily soak up the market by having a cheaper and more expensive devicenwith only slight capability differences.

I wouldn't count on background apps. They wouldn't have put so much effort in putting down background apps if they were planning on doing it soon. Now maybe the next iPhone in 2010+ after enough developers have complained that they don't like the new Push, or the Push turns out to be as bad or worse than MobileMe was.
Personally, I don't think it will be called the iPhone pro. The may make a version called the iPhone pro which has better specs than another. I hope all of these rumours are true. The iPhone will dominate the mobile market!
just remember that AT&T caps the internet speed to 1.5 mbs...
just because you can doesn't mean you will
IPhone Pro
It would make a lot of sense to have performance separation and not just a variation in disk space.
The thing is, if we follow the acronym rule around here... it might be called the I.P.P.?
cmon, that's funny.

Well, 640x400 is 16:10, not 16:9.
640x360 would be 16:9. That would fit in the same width as the current iPhone (at the worst you would have a slightly higher DPI on the screen), but maybe a little bit taller. The problem here is that it's not much different in horizontal pixels (360 vs 320) from the existing device, yet could disrupt many applications. Otherwise I don't think you need much more.
I simply don't have an idea what Apple plans with regards to the phone's screen. Maybe one model will keep the current screen, and the high end will have a higher resolution ~800x480 OLED screen ... nothing has been rumoured yet except maybe OLED.
No they didn't, the ARM CPUs are much much MUCH more power efficient. With Atom you would be looking at make the already not-so-great battery life of the iPhone even worse.

Makes sense, but it would be a touch weird when it gets to 2010. further confused by their operating system designations.

Wrong. the Multi-Core ARM 9x is the future for the iPhone.
http://www.arm.com/products/CPUs/ARMCortex-A9_MPCore.html
The Marvell looks to be more of the application chip for AppleTV and to offload from the CPU. The specs are targeting the AppleTV whereas the ARMCortex-A9_MPCore targets the iPhone with the upcoming GPGPUs from Imagination Technologies [http://www.imgtec.com/] PowerVR.
The AppleTV would use the Marvell for offloading from its Intel CPU to add more valuation/performance without having to move to the Core2Duo CPU and add considerable cost from the current set up.
Well all the iphone 3g had was "catchup features" but yet it sold.Really? Most phones have had that functionality for years. How about iPhone MMS?
Seriously though, I hope the next iPhone has a lot more than just a few catchup features. I mean, the current iPhone 3G is perfect for my needs right now (and will be even better once I get all the "catchup" features included in 3.0) but I'm looking forward to a faster chip and better screen res.
I'm just not sure what the next revolutionary thing is going to be.
But yet you knew this but still went and bought it, very smart of you.
Its too bad there isn't a "build your own iPhone" page on Apple's website.
I have been holding out for the new iPhone for months, if the only real change is added video i will be pissed off i waited this long. That is one feature i really could not care less about. More storage space, faster connections speeds, maybe some improvements on the apps that are already out there...multi core..the important stuff!

Just because Intel is the biggest name in CPUs, doesn't mean their stuff is the best. The Atom doesn't come close to the efficiency of ARM processors.
That is not right. Maybe he got it thinking Apple would be just a little less greedy than they usually are and unlock a feature that the device is capable of. I guess that would be asking too much?
It makes you feel hustled in a way. Its like buying an SUV and having a lock over the 4 wheel drive switch because the manufacture wants to hold out and have you buy next years model to get that feature. You still paid for equipment capable of doing the job, the technology is there, they just want to hit you for another 600.00 if you want to use it. Defend every move Apple makes if you want, someone always will...
It seems highly logical to keep the 8gb iPhone 3G, lower it to $99, and introduce an iPhone Pro. You may not like the same but it makes sense. The above features would characterize it as a Pro version of its former self. Double the connection speed, Video over Photo, larger capacities.
All of it sounds like an iPhone Pro to me. Would fit perfectly with the overall product line. Great stuff.
Too bad aluminum didn't work out because it would be nice to see a return. Hopefully a new chip is powerful enough to overwhelm the poor audio signal.

There is a difference between not covering sparsely populated areas and not offering high-speed in densely populated one. The former is fully understandable, the latter just means they are slow. If you look at the population density in the areas AT&T has 3G coverage and compare it with the population density in the areas where you have 3G coverage in a lot of European countries (+ certain Asian ones), the US population density is not lower anymore.
7.2Mbps mobile internet. That's as fast if not faster than what many Canadians have for wired home internet. Wholesale DSL ISPs in Ontario and Quebec are still stuck with 5mbps, which is actually 4.3mbps after overhead. Although 3.5G will likely have quite a bit of overhead, the speed will probably end up at around 6.1mbps.
Defend, why don't you buy what you need now instead of hoping what a company will add later. If you wanted video and it didn't have it in the first place, you shouldn't have bought it period.
That feature is already there.

That's how it looks.
What? The iPhone came out a year before the Atom, the Atom uses 10x too much power for a phone CPU, it idles 100x higher, it requires about 20x more motherboard real estate (i.e., right now it can't fit into a phone form factor without destroying the form factor) because of the chipset, and the chipset itself uses 50x too much power for the form factor.
