Yeah, was hoping he'd save the best for last but the Screen and Gyroscope are the "best" features so far...

Number six has already been announced before by Apple, FWIW.

True. Two more to go still though.

As an iphone user, folders, multitasking and a unified inbox with e-mail threading may not be revolutionary, but implemented well, will do a lot to improve my day to day experience with the iphone.Edit to add: Although not "sexy", Wifi N vs G should make a big performance improvement as well.

Kind of hard to wow when your top-secret product was "acquired" against your will and unveiled to the public two months ago.

Has he gone over iChat yet? Or are we just assuming the front facing camera does that and it's not worth showing?

Not a flame but can't the google phones export to 720p??I refues to go to AT&T especially with the limited plans now. I'm at 1.9gb with 1 week to go on my cycle. The SIRIUS app is just adding to my totals - lol

Hasn't mentioned it, AFAIK. Of course, video conferencing on a phone has been something Jobs has never been a believer in, so maybe it's there and he's not pushing it. Or maybe it's not in there.

Yes

MEH. I'll take the smaller screen when the device can also act as my phone.Great resolution is nice, but a 3.5" screen is still a 3.5" screen for viewing and touching.

This is a developers conference. I can guarantee you they LOVE iAds. Huge potential for revenue there.

Probably. One of the Android guys will have to confirm. Shooting in native 720p is the key, not exporting to it. FWIW.

I don't think it's a one or the other kinda thing as they are not designed for the same uses or market, although there is some (obvious) crossover in functionality.MEH. I'll take the smaller screen when the device can also act as my phone.

Not sure what is groundbreaking, they could always use google ads or use adMob (just purchased by Google). I know some were making very good money already.

As much as I am refusing to switch to ATT for the iPhone (network issues, odd pricing/plans now, etc), it looks like it will be another few years before phones yet again catch the iPhone. Might have to reconsider my thinking.
Don't get me wrong, I completely understand it. Just waiting for one more surprise for the consumer.

I imagine that many tech-savy folks in the market for the phone are going to have similar sentiments after today, which obviously is not what APple was bond to be hoping for. In other words, I don't know that anything presented today is going to sway those folks who said in the last week or two, "I'm waiting for the new iPhone before deciding about the EVo/Incredible/etc."

The increased resolution is HUGE news for viewing. This will be nothing like viewing on a 3GS or similar screen. It is especially big for e-books, where the screen resolution now exceeds standard print resolution.As an example, think of the difference between viewing two televisions when one is standard def and the other is HD.

Based on the screen resolution and video camera?

The HD video is pretty nice, but everything else doesn't seem like "OMG GOTZ 2 GET DIS NOW11!!1!1".

As stated before:iOS4 : Was already outlined during iPad announcementiPhone 4 : Leaked via lost phone to endagadget A lot of the thunder has already been stolen here. Have a feeling they've still got a little something up the sleeve.

That's what I'm wondering, basically what they've shown other than the resolution of the screen and the gyroscope is what's already on a bunch of phones out there. The bookstore may be what he's talking about?!Based on the screen resolution and video camera?
Abraham

I'm interested in what features this phone was shown to have that you think put it a "few years" ahead of other devices.
Chunky Soup

Fast, best display on the market, thinnest phone with similar abilities on the market, great battery life, gyro, front facing camera, HD video. More. Watch Stevie again. This thing is pretty magical.Based on the screen resolution and video camera?

What do the other phone manufacturers need to "catch" the iPhone on? And why will it take 2 years? Honest questions.

omgz. What could it be?

Video chat.

Much larger market share and their market share consumes WAY more apps. It's pretty simple really. Google Ads can't even compare to the interactivity of this and, frankly, you're talking about developers here. These guys want to MAKE money on these ads.... not talking about companies looking to advertise. Remember who he's speaking to here. adMob is certainly a factor but I don't think there's anything this interactive/integrated just yet. I could be wrong, however.

Video chat is the big surprise!?
