light sensor - this is common, most of new phones nowadays got tat, k800i, n73, w810i etc etc

accelerometer - tat is for the multitouch technology.. on screen control, without the use of stylus..
*
light sensor aka ambience sensor - to throttle the backlight for energy saving. e.g. in dark environment, backlight don't have to be so strong.

Nope, accelerometer is not for multitouch. Currently, it is mainly used to detect orientation of phone whether it is potrait or landscape mode. It is possible they incorporate other uses for it, like manipulating some UI based on (non-touch) gestures .. sorta like Wiimote?

About the availability in Asia only in 2008:
- hopefully drive price a bit lower
- 2nd revision - fix bugs from first revision
- introduced SDK during WWDC in June so that third-party developers can tweak their apps, create new ones for it
- 3G
- WiMax
- Larger capacity
- some China company reverse engineer it and hack it to run on their clone ala osx86 biggrin.gif

@shaznizzle, i strongly agree with you on the transfer data part. What if let say the OS crash itself? How? ALL your DATA gone.. Just like that biggrin.gif

The iPhone is synced and charged just like the iPod. Meaning, if the OS on your iPhone crashed, after you reflash it or whatever, when you dock it, it will sync back all your data back on the phone from your computer.

The iPhone is following the model set forth by current iPods where third party games are commissioned by Apple.
