It makes me laugh whereby once we used to argue about the techy intricacies of X86 cpus, now its only mobile phones that raise the same amount of noise :-)

The tech in a phone these days is amazing for the size these things are.
The next snapdragon chip out by the end of the year doing opengl at a high standard and 2ghz and will be duel core is all just mind blowing. They also make them use less power in the process which is probably even more amazing really.

You have to give Apple the credit for kicking phones into a whole new gear and showing people you can do things and they generate the market for these things. They may not do it the best but they get the ball rolling and push companies to do better.

I just love the antenna concept on the new iphone, You know the hardware guy has set there and thought about it and made it and then sold it to Jobs and co. It is not an apple design with the gaps but he/they just made something clever and sold the idea to the people above.

IF it works - great, you will also be a boost just holding the phone as well. Just I like things that are clever.

Giroscope I can not quite see all the uses for it yet but they put it in. Interesting how they still not whacked a radio in the iphone yet. I would really like that but I guess the ipod element and thus itunes/itunes store for a lot of people would be used less.

They make rugged PDAs, EPOC was renamed Symbian, then sold that part to Nokia.

Theyre around, just doing something different.

I know theyre around - my point was they werent exactly that successful in the mobile phone market.

I would say that their previous involvement with Symbian would make them a successful, though not as a brand name. Its the most common OS you find on any handset.

Samsung might have entertained us with some trash talk about the iPhone 4s IPS LCD yesterday, but this stuff is of a rather more somber variety. Raymond Soneira, president of monitor diagnostics firm DisplayMate, has said that Apples retina display marketing is inaccurate, because he believes a display that truly makes pixels indistinguishable to the human eye would require a density in the vicinity of 477dpi. The iPhone 4 has 326dpi, and by now you might be surmising that Steve Jobs flat out lied when he said that the iPhone 4s pixels are too small for the human retina to discern from 12 inches away.

Im annoyed as to why no networks or phone stores are starting preorders today when Apple has started it!! I been trying to preorder one on Carphone Warehouse to see the usual image of the iPhone 4 with Register Interest showing. What the f**k is going on???

Because they dont know the stock levels. Were chasing one down at the moment for customer support, and they are basically laughing at us. They know people will buy it regardless.

I was chasing Carphone Warehouse down as to why they not started preorders yet and said awaiting something and also said hopefully start taking preorders tomorrow. Not getting my hopes up about that as I felt they didnt know at all either.

apple want to know the level of interest and Stock. New product with some nifty Hardware that needs to be manufactured so they need to see the numbers and the data. They got some US sites to pull their pre-order plans for example.

I hope that I am able to preorder one today at some point but from what I heard probably wont be.

neXus, as for your comment on the gyroscope, it will be used to accompany the accelerometer for gaming mostly. However, if the gyroscope is also put together with the compass which they have, Im sure itll have more use than gaming. Im thinking some sat nav companies (eg. TomTom and Navigon) would use that to make it more accurate to pinpoint where you are and if you turned around, it immediately does that on screen rather than a few seconds to turn your car around and wait for the gps to correct itself.

I ordered mine yesterday for collection in the Belfast Apple store. They were sold out of the pre-orders by early afternoon.

Orange have their price plans out now. Think a lot of people will move to Orange if O2 dont have the unlimited internet.
