Easy it means the Iphone knows the direction you are facing and walking / driving even at very very low speed where GPS is no good.
Means turn by turn directions as you walk rather than having to try to figure out which way the map should be orientated in references to the real world.

We have pointed this out numerous times already..... They say in the report that it is next gen hardware in a 3G case.
This is very interesting....
On one hand I can produce the all same screenshots (except compass) by modifying /system/library/coreservices/springboard.app/ to enable video-recorder AND the carrier.plist to enable MMS.
But, on the other hand...
I am unable to take pictures, the shutter remains closed on both photo and video modes.
How this person got actual pictures and videos on screen is a mystery to me.
All the pics are real, even the battery percentage, I just hope AT&T allows MMS, and Apple doesn't restrict video to 3rd gen.

Haven't you ever looked at a digital photo you took 10 or so years ago? How was the quality of that picture you took with the latest and greatest quality camera back then? Photos from a mediocre quality camera are there to remind you of a time and place. I think the iPhone's camera is adequate for that reason.
lol @people still spitting garbage about wanting a higher MP camera. MP does not = quality. the sensor, lens and software is where the quality is.
I agree, I believe the iPhone's current camera is completely adequate for the purpose it was meant to serve. I'm not trying to publish magazine photos with my phone. Preserving a memory is all that the camera is used for.
I actually believe Hong Kong is not considered part of mainland China. I think it has its own Government and everything.....
Fantastic news, looks great, I just wish the made the whole screen a button in the camera app as we have been requesting.
It's also a welcome break form the zune marketplac and the photos of the sweaty balmer and the pre crap we were served this past week. I for once will not be greedy and keep my 16gb 3g, but it's great to hear the news of the os 3.0 coming together and seeing the great evolution of a revolutonary product most of us have know and loved, as well as the new hardware features. The iphone is truelly on a class of its own and this is because of the great work that goes on at apple BUT also of the great developers, their work and requests - my hat is off to these guys some of which might not make a good living out of their apps unlike what he hear about $$ for the developpers, but they are making a huge change for mobile devices, they are the real stars of the evolution of the os to me, so if you are a developer reading this give yourself a pat on the back -, and of course to the rest of us in the community of users who have made our user requests and have shaped and paved the way a little for this little marvel that is the iphone.

Right, but the iPhone camera is dodgy in all those departments. Before I got the iPhone I used SonyEricsson smartphones and a couple of them came with Carl Zeiss optics, courtesy of Sony. I have an old Sony DC from 2002 and it's nothing to write home about in terms of MP, but the pictures have amazing quality... any idiot can point and click with this thing and take a picture of a garbage bin, and the picture will still look like it's a post processed Hasselblad shot straight out of a glitzy coffee table book.
Wait a sec- why would new iphone guts be in old 3g case?
Is it possible Apple knew engineering samples would be leaked by network testers so they built their test prototypes in old 3g case so as not to give away front facing camera and any external case changes?

I think that is very possible. It is a prototype and the blog does say that this case in no way represents the final look of the iPhone, therefore they didn't bother doing comparison shots. So my only guess would be that if there is video chat and what not, they are probably stillworking on the software for it, which may be one reason why that functionality is not shown in this prototype. Who knows how old the version we are seeing is.
Well with the new compass i hope Maps has both Man mode and Women mode?
One mode you would always be in the centre of the map with an arrow point the direction you are going.
The other you'd be at the bottom of the Map and only see the map heading the direction you are traveling.

What do you think they stuck the 1st gen internals in? Maybe the razor? As a matter of fact I have a pic
A friend of mine who works at Apple sent me a picture of the new iPhone. However, due to the NDA, I am prohibited to post, or show the picture, but I can explain what it looks. (so you can make mock ups)
Basically, the front is almost identical to the first two generation of iPhone, but with a camera. (which is unnoticeable until a green LED lights up. The camera is the same one used in iSight, so it is very high quality) The back of the new iPhone, well, it's been leaked already so there's no point in me explaining this.
The screen is OLED. At WWDC this year, Apple will announce immediete avalibility of ALL of their Macs, (iMac, MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air) with OLED display, making it very environmentally friendly. iPod touch, and iPod classic, and iPod nano will follow this fall.
Apple also made some changes to the location of the headphone jacks and speakers, however, they are deciding on where to put it. To find out, they will be testing out three different design of iPhone. One with headphone jack at the top, and speaker at the bottom (the usual), the Headphone Jack at the bottom, with speaker at top, or the headphone jack at bottom, and speaker the back of the phone (aka, the iPod touch) They will test out comfort of the phone use with headphone, and speakers. The best comfort will be the final design of the phone.

I so wish this is true. But frankly, I don't believe you.
Firstly, OLED in all Macs? I could believe OLEDs in the iPhone and MacBooks (there's a rumor of a 15" OLED coming out this summer, so it lines up), but in the iMacs? I don't think the prices of the OLEDs that size has come down enough for it to be feasible.
And if Apple is still testing the layout of the iPhone even this late in the game, how could they have it ready for launch in June? Even if they're launching in July, this is cutting it extremely close.
Sorry for stating the obvious, but this is fake.
So what would happen if your computer was lost. Someone found it and mailed out a copy of said photograph then anonymously returned to you your computer. Would you go to jail?
They said "OLED availability" anything is a possible option for enough money. But I agree probably fake. Put the photo out there if you have it or don't bother describing it at all.
im actually somewhat willing to believe this...
although its very random to just post it in some thread like this.
the OLED thing sounds very plausible....
Apple just invested a **** ton of money in LG in a partnership to design displays...presumable OLED displays..
they arent that expensive...and the listing on Chinaontrade.com shows the price of the new screen as over twice the cost of the old one (which would be accurate for OLED technology)
apple has commonly brought new technology like this to the marketplace first...we can hope thats the case as far as OLED goes for the new iphone and macs
