Will it be announced or released in June?
-
why wouldn't it have video chat? a lot of other ATT phones do.
-
Can't wait for the next iteration of the iPhone!
-
announced i think
-
video chat PUHLEASE!!! PLEASE PLEASE!!!
-
Do they really? I'm not trying to sound sarcastic but I really didn't know that.
-
Forget running, it's the driving I'm worried about. Could we start looking into voice commands rather than more touching?
-
Agree!!!
-
Did anyone else notice that in the dock part of the phone there are 5 icons not 4? Mistake?
-
I don't think it's a mistake. From all the sites I have read, it seems like apple has alot of apps that are available on jailbroken phones. And I agree with hxclose, I would like to see voice command or something of that nature. I am now use to all the dang touching, but it gets to the point when I am driving.......very iratating. One thing I can say is that apple should be happy with people jailbreaking. Cause if it wasn't for that, people might not be I interested.

Sony Ericsson already implemented shake controls for their music player in their W580i phone. I'm not a patent expert, but I'm not sure how you can patent something that's already been done years ago.
-
No! The picture is showing the dock inside the "Phone" app, so 5 icons is normal!! :)
-
Yah I noticed that after I posted. :)
-
But with the W580i you still need to hold a button and shake to change tracks.

dont fret guys if we have a cam that can do video, i am sure saurik or someone at cydia will create a video chat app for us to use if apple drops the ball on it. And I would like to see more voice commands to one of the best apps I love is the google mobile app, whenever i need to do a search I speak what i am looking for instead of typing it so voice commands is the way to go.
-
yep. even the crappy ugly phones do it.
