Well there are no LED displays for computers anyway, all of them are only LED backlit so there shouldn't be a confusion.
Anybody with 7th grade reading comprehension skills can see he was simply being SARCASTIC about how vague and uninformative the rumor of the Verizon iPhone was... In no context, shape, way or form is he implying that these are COMING to the next phone.
Talk about TWISTING.

Shhh... Read the first tweet, and then open and read the second tweet (which is a reply to the first).

Anybody with a 7th grade reading comprehension blah blah blah - I hate when people use this sentence.
Let us all not forget what Steve said at that all hands meeting on the Apple Campus after the iPad announcement. The new iPhone was going to be a "A+ upgrade".
You know, I really don't understand how anyone who has read Gruber's posts on even a semi-regular basis, could see it as anything other than his way of presenting what he has heard (from his inside peeps). As arn mentioned, that's just his style.
Whether it turns out to be factual or not is another matter. But as has been mentioned, he has a pretty good track record.
I hope this next iPhone steps it up. Apple's gonna need to impress me if they want me to swtich back to iPhone from my N1.
Kesuke, you're arguing against your own made up numbers.
The rumor, and I believe Gruber's right because he usually is, is that the resolution will be 960x640, essentially double. So that issue you just mentioned, goes away, that 10 pixel margin becomes a 20 pixel margin.
As for your claim that it can't possibly be 960x640 because HTC's highest is 840xwhatever is silly. Like someone else mentioned, Droid is 854xwhatever, so manufacturers are free to choose whatever size panels they lay their hands on.
Easy: people usually don't ACTUALLY READ things. As a member of these boards, you should know that
It might not do anygood but I will ask anyways.
In part I ask because of the patents and in part because some of that good performance doesn't seem to be because of dual processors.
I look at it this way, where do you (Apple) put your money for the highest payoff or performance gain. The ARM core or things closely attached to it?

I didn't read Johns article that way. It is just a sarcastic response to the newspaper article.
It would be if they can extend the battery life. For many of us time between recharges is critical.
Now we get to the meat and my question for you. Did Apple craft it's own vector unit for the ARM processor in the A4? I ask because of recent patent filings one could say are for an embedded vector processor. Since it wouldn't make sense for Apple to fab such technology for Intel based hardware the only place it would likely go would be on an ARM processor.

Well that is debatable. I can't see Apple being able to do a hell of a lot with just the ARM 32 bit core. Dropping ARAs vector unit for something Apple designed makes a lot of sense though. So I wouldn't be surprised to see a core that executes the generic ARM instruction set with limited or no Apple extensions there.

To be fair. It's not entirely Apple's fault. Sites like this build up the hype to a crescendo that always results in a delivery that is much less than was expected by the fanbois who were drooling over every rumor that appeared.
However, the more Google and Android compete with Apple the more I think we'll see Apple fighting to not lose any market share to them, which could mean more interesting capabilities being introduced sooner and quicker than we've come to expect from them.
I hope at the very least both Apple and Google thrive in the smart phone space because it'll be win-win for us, the consumers.
The htc evo 4g from sprint kills the iPhone in every aspect
I currently have an iPhone 3gs 32gb, but for sure I am switching to sprint whit their new htc evo, It has all the features that the iPhone need. I think that not even the iPhone 4g or what ever it's going to be called will beat this one. Apples is not going to make the iPhone better then Their newest product the ipad, that makes no sense to make a product and a couple months later bring something to kill it.

I don't know if that's serious speculation or not, but I'll reply anyway.
I'd put money against that being the name due to the mere fact that Apple is allowing app developers to dub their iPad content with the "HD" moniker (according to app store screenshots). That sort of thing would lead to a world of confusion down the road if there was an "iPhone HD".
