Battery life seems hardly an issue to me. Compared to the energy usage of the large and bright touchscreen, the obviously snappy CPU, and the ability to stay permanently connected to telecom networks, the battery use of a, say, 20GB flash chip, is not that big a deal.
I was unhappily surprised by the iPhone's 8GB capacity. A device that plays video should at least have 20GB. And Apple surely has the technology to fit that amount of memory into a flash architecture. So why the trimmed down 8GB? I hope the device's processor will be as snappy as the quicktours or whatever they are called on Apple's website suggest. It blazes through photo's and music like a 5-year old on a sugar-buzz.
