I think I saw a picture on CrunchGear of a video teleconference over a phone call but I’m unable to locate it at this time. Given that there were home brewed video apps created for the original iphone and Apple is providing developers with an API to the camera this time around, I won’t be surprised to see a free app that is able to capture video. It would be nice to see native support, though. I’d really like to see an app that captures high def video and streams it over wifi to a local computer (and beyond). This could be a reality if the battery life wasn’t an issue.

Some good questions here. Responses and predictions: Flash support is probably, still, the biggest disappointment in the phone, but so far, it sounds like it’s not technologically feasible given the rendering capacity of Flash on OSX. It’s really the only advantage of the internet experience on the PC. Still, I imagine with the next version of OSX iPhone will be far more capable. Apparently, SquirrelFish is making Safari 1.6 times faster, though admittedly, I haven’t read up on it enough. There was no way Apple was going to add video support. That would mean adding a second camera to the front of the phone, which would hurt its industrial design and raise costs. Video chat is also not a very useful feature. The visual element really adds little to a conversation. Whoever is writing at TechCrunch is an idiot. I doubt the processor is much faster. The major upgrade here is really the second version of the mobile operating system. To ensure app compatibility with the first generation iPhones and the new 3Gs, Apple can’t really do too much improving under the hood. I don’t really understand what you mean by wallpaper. Like on the homescreen? My prediction is that the iPod Touch gets a big upgrade this fall. As always, Apple starts giving them away with student purchases of computers, and immediately following, releases a new version. They did this with the iPod mini and the past two versions of the iPod nano. They’re actually still priced just fine, because the only way to get a iPhone 3G for $199 is to sign a two-year commitment with AT&T. The multi-touch iPod market is smaller, but still there. Just like the iPod, the battery will never be replaceable. By sealing it in, Apple ensures tighter production. I doubt any app will be able to perform MMS, since it’s a carrier-side feature. This is also a feature sorely-lacking in the iPhone. And, yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if AT&T drops the ball and the 3G network crashes and burns with the number of newly activated iPhones that are sure to pop up this summer. Apple is going to destroy their 10 million prediction. With it selling in 70 countries around the world, I’d expect something like 20 million by year-end.

The iPhone will suck until it is opened up to more providers. ATT is the worst of the big telecoms and how is the iPhone not CDMA? EVDO Rev A blows 3g out of the water in terms of speed, something I would think one would want on an iPhone
