One site said it has the same processor as the ipad...that would be pretty cool since the ipad is so speedy.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I still like the new design.

I'm a fan too, it's a nice departure from what everyone else is making.

There's nothing surprising about that. It's been obvious for quite some time that Apple would use the A4 (*grumble* 256MB RAM *grumble*). However it's highly likely that it's going to be clocked lower than the one in the iPad in the name of power savings.

you can just turn on swap 🙂

anyhoo like the ipad - doesn't matter if it had an a-ZERO cpu - its gonna sellout like hotcakes lol.

Keep in mind that the ipad runs for over ten hours. Most of the battery power goes towards lighting the screen and not the actual processing.

I like it because it looks easy to hold. I had a 2G, 3G, and 3GS, and they kept getting harder to hold because of the tapered edges 😀

Would you like to have to recharge your phone every ten hours?

If that was 10 hours of use, totally!

Looks good to me. Too bad I can't upgrade till October 2011. Canadian telecoms saddle us with 3yr contracts. 🙁

Remember that is 10 hours of straight use time. 30 days of standby IIRC. So, 10 hours of talk time, 10 hours of web surfing time, things of that nature, that could be many days of regular use between charges.

Yep, I think the new design is a big improvement over the overly rounded 'used bar of soap' look of the previous iPhones. And, it should have a little more case volume for a larger battery.

Still, in three weeks I dump my 3G iPhone for the HTC Evo! Sorry Steve...

Also take into account the ipad is probably 8? times the size of the iphone. So you are powering a lot larger screen for 10 hours. I was mainly pointing out that the processing really isn't what drains the juice, it is the display.

Actually all accounts of the battery on the iPad have shown that it gets more than the quoted 10 hours. Usually it will hit 11 hours.

Evo is the one with 4G on Sprint right? Is it using the Sense UI or what?
