Rumors Flying About New iPhone Capabilities

Jumping on the completely unconfirmed rumor bandwagon, it seems that there have been photos leaked for the new iPhone, which include things like an auto-focus camera, video capture, and a compass. The photos were originally displayed (and then quickly removed) on a Chinese forum, and quickly spread to many other sites, including a complete human translation on the MacRumors forum. Looks like Apple security may have to break a few more pocket protectors to keep employees in line.

    The OS you are looking for is called Windows Mobile. Its been around a pretty long time and does not restrict anything you put on it.

    As long as you don't mind running Windows on your cell phone. A lot of us have issues with it, and not just bias.

    Sprint has the cheapest, fastest internet and pretty good coverage as well.

    Cheapest. Fastest. Best. Choose 2. Oh wait, you have.

    Sprint also has like no decent (usable) coverage to speak of in my state. Unless you happen to live in a city. And this is a state where our biggest "city" is only about 200,000 people.

    And since it's not a standard USB plug, I couldn't just plug it in to the plethora of USB ports around.

    Do many phones have USB on the phone side? From my experience, the iPhone cable plugs into any USB port and will charge from it. You're right on the phone side it is a special connector (ipod connector), but every phone I've owned has been like that.

    BTW, the iphone cable is just a standard ipod cable. Even people who don't own ipods seem to have some of those around at this point lol.

    Depends on what you mean by better off. If you rarely use the web browser because it sucks and I use my iPhones web browser everyday, then you paid less, but did you get better value? What was your price per megabyte versus my price per megabyte on my iPhone? I'm not saying your wrong, just price isn't everything.
