do the Steve got mention about HTML5 ? so when v upgrade 3GS to newer version to get new features which mean our 3GS can support flash ?~~~

Only if you click to open the additional contents. Notice that iAds are just small banners at the bottom, either part of the game you've downloaded or a splash banner at the bottom. If the iAd is part of the game, it is downloaded together with the game, and will remain dormant as it is, until you tap it to expand. If it is part of the webpage you're surfing, the same applies. Only when you start accessing it that additional content are open to you and if you choose to explore further, additional downloads would be necessary. If you leave it alone, nothing will happen.

Seriously, Flash is excess baggage Apple can do without. Nobody wants to carry that bloated mess around.

I'm sorry what? Farmville app?

Good question. This in an uncharted territory we're going through since no other phone has this kind of material and design. I hope they figure out how not to have that scenario you've describe from happening.

I've also figure out WHY the design is no longer curvy at the edges, and had to be flat. Watch the FaceTime video posted on Apple.com. At one instance in that video, there's two girls video-calling on FaceTime and one girl was showing the other what dress/clothes to wear while the other comments. If the edges are curvy, I guesss you cant make the iPhone stand on end without toppling over, and you'd need a dock with perpendicular angle to do that. The girl left the iPhone standing on a flat surface to make this happen, and it works since the bottom end is now flat, instead of curvy. Same reasoning if you're planning to use this in landscape mode. This also makes the new iPhone perfect for taking time-delay photos since you can rest it on a flat surface, and possible invoke command to snap pics by gestures like winking or using Bluetooth remote.

Contrary to some of the opinions published here, I believe video call is a great tool of communication. In fact, I'm a heavy video caller and it's a feature that I would love to use on iPhone. Particularly because my wife, my sisters and even my parents have video call feature on their phone.

Not really indulge and reading much into the technology behind FaceTime, but it seems like a different method of technology that departs from the current video call that we have now. Other than the optional JB, it seems that FaceTime might not be compatible with other phone even they have release FW which able to use 3G.

If that's really the case, my omnia has to stay on.

I might be kidding, but with the announcement of iPhone 4 and FaceTime; I reckon the number of divorce cases world wide would sky-rocketed. Husband on the line with mistress on the other side. BOOOM. I will say no more.

i watched the keynote podcast n the video n sound quality when Jobs facetimed (?) Ives is kinda similar to iChat (on my connection anyway). is it better than our normal 3g videocalls? i cant compare with my experience cuz my phone has a small screen heheh

Can somebody tell me about the type of screen out there? Somebody noted that iphone 4 not used led backlight, weird considering ipad does.

with such high resolution displayed on a small screen, would it strain our eyes? really interested in getting this or dell streak

1. With iPhone 4, you can make a video call to another iPhone 4 only.

I believe I understand the reason for using wifi for FaceTime. 3G/3.5G unable to give you the kind of user experience that you expect to get from video call. Low frame rate means both of your voice and video will response to the other caller after 3-4 seconds later. Being Apple, they wish to give the ultimate experience to their customer. And lousy frame rate is not what they have in mind. Since 3.5G is the fastest and widely use right now, they have to resort to wifi until LTE comes alive probably next year in the US. If LTE do start operational next year in US, probably we can expect iPhone 4G to be launched. And that will be the right tonic to FaceTime

Well if you read carefully my statement is intended to those who said in the previous posts that iPhone is only for those who accept it as it is. But these same persons said that they can JBed their phone to remedy some of the lack of the features. Which all in all, two different contradictory statements. And these same persons bashed anyone who said negatively on iPhone.

This is in my opinion a true fanboyism. We criticised because we want an improvement. A blind defence of something that is crystal clear won't help. And Apple have given a lot of improvement in iOS4. Like an article that I've read before, Jbed seems irrelevant after iOS4. And those that do JBed the phone is either to get disapproved apps or venture into pirated apps.

I have nothing against those that Jbed so they can have better user experience. An exception of course those looking to the pirated software that is.

Plus, song as a ringtone is out of question as well.

While it's cool to have iphone 4 launches, but still it didn't really attracts me to invest to those upgrades.

No offense here but there's really not much major upgrades. And the most afraid thing is; after you buy iphone 4, like iphone 3g; within less than 1 year, there's 3gs announce and you are like wtf?

I believe there's some enhancement to iphone 4; and it may be quick enough.

whats with *f*** apple is launching a new phone AGAIN next year comments*, nokia and goole launch new phone every month, how does that make you feel? being obsolete in a month to month basis. Ojimaru, relax pal, no point contending to this fellers, they only seem to appear as of yesterday since their thread on bashing iphone 4 in mobile phone subforum was terminated by the mod.

one thing i like the most in the iphone 4 is the gyroscope!!!cant wait to see people spinning around while playing it...

How I hope that we have genius bar in Malaysia as well. It will certainly help Apple to boost sales if they teach people to adapt Mac and iOS

Ojimaru i'd like to know ur theory juz for fun
