Posted by CmdrTaco on from the yes-have-some dept.

As a quarter million pre-orderers wait for their iPad on Saturday, the millions of iPhone users can start speculating in earnest about the next gen iPhone. The rumors start by saying "It will be dubbed the 'iPhone HD' and will include a double resolution display, a front facing camera, multitasking support, and the blazing A4 processor."

      i bought an ipod touch the week after the big ipad let-down ($500 is ok, but what i want is a mac-book tablet, not a big ipod), and i seriously considered using apple's free engraving service to have 'iPad nano' engraved on it

      didn't do it though, i just would have felt stupid anyway, with all those maxiPad jokes..

    If anyone gets any Apple-product prediction right it's because enough monkeys pounding on typewriters will eventually write Shakespeare.

    If someone could finally give the monkeys modern computers with word processors, the error and typo rate would go down and they could write Shakespeare a lot faster.

    Sure the next iPhone will be an improvement.

    It will run Android.

    Zzzzzzing!

    Considering your average camera phone lens can barely resolve a barcode, I'm not quite sure what the point of HD shooting would be.

    HD Barcodes?

    For developing in Flash, you need a specific app that costs $700 and only runs on Windows and Mac OS X. For developing in HTML5/Javascript, you need a text editor and a web browser.

    And a few stress balls, and eventually a toupee after you're done tearing all your hair out...

    I wish they could do something about the battery life though.

    They are, a faster processor, higher resolution and second camera should do something about battery life. Of course, it won't be something positive, but you can't have everything :)

    I don't believe Apple does any real product development. They just pick the best rumors and merge them into their existing product line.
