Widescreen. touchscreen (multitouch). wifi and bluetooth. built in phone, interface like no other phone. GSM and quadband (yey for Europe). Accelerometers so it can play videos both in 4:3 (stood up) or widescreen (on side). sounds like a mint bit of kit! they haven't announced price or storage space though so watch me cry in a few moments apparently it has an internet browser too but they haven't spoke about that yet!
Aye. the whole thing about the iPod was the simplicity. they better keep the same functionality somehow else I'll be keeping my iPod Mini. first and forthmost it should prioritise music.
edit: ooooo they're talking price... sounds like it will be cheap. they're bringing up the cost of smartphones and iPods into it...

edit 2: bloody hell. just 4 and 8gb models. $499/599. nevermind then.
it wasn't announced as the iPhone till after the actual show. it was still going on as i posted, hence the staggered posts.
Yea. I'm not buying. but its certainly nice to see where the iPod will go. I mean simply take out the phone from this, leave in the widgets/OS and stick in the 30 and 80gb drives and bam. I'll be getting my regular 80gb iPod tomorrow
It's basically an apple phone with a touch of mp3 and pda-ness on the side :\ No camera and other pointless accessories.. I hate these types of products that try to make a multi-gym out of a medicine ball (says me sounding very athletic )
If you want an mp3 player - you buy yourself a decent mp3 player
If you want a camera - you buy yourself a half decent digital camera
If you want a phone - you get a phone (no doubt unavoidedly with a slice of the above built in)
It has a camera. 2mp too, about standard in mobile phones these days.
It does have "pda-ness". it has iCal, Address Book, Mail etc. it uses an onscreen keyboard.
But yea. I hate all in one devices for the battery issue. I'm glad that if my GB Micro battery dies then my iPod and phone will keep going.
What's up with the current mp3 players? They play music, they are small and they are rechargeable. I can't think of one single improvement on my mp3 player (apart from more space, but I could have bought that with extra moneys).
I predict nobody will buy this iPhone or whatever it is called. And if it even becomes a moderate success, I will eat my socks, take photos and post them on this very forum. And you can all hold me to that if you remember.
