My thoughts on the keynote this morning and the new iPhone, all rapid fire like.
- There are a lot of people out there saying that the announcement of the new phone isn’t enough. I suspect that because a certain blog bought a stolen prototype and splayed it on their site for the world to see that some of the excitement behind the reveal was lost. This unveiling though was a hell of a lot more impactful than the 3GS reveal.
- I can’t wait to see what is done with the gyroscope. No one is talking about that now but i think it will end up being huge.
- All reports indicate a ridiculously thin phone, which is always cool.
- Love that you can now shoot AND edit your video on the phone and that from all appearances it is easy to do.
- The forward camera is made much cooler, obviously, with the new video chat feature (face time). Pretty awesome how you can swap from forward to rear camera on the fly.
- Lots of people complaining that the video chat only works under Wifi. Don’t think it is that big of a deal, have you ever tried to make a call with 3G? That doesn’t even always work
I probably won’t upgrade for a while, not for lack of desire but because my work pays my iPhone bill now and i just got the 3GS. I also kind of want to see which of these new technologies (retina display especially) get rolled into the iPad.
