Anyone who wants to get updates on Steve's keynote today about the new Iphone here is a link: Keynote

Starts at 1PM Eastern time.

I assume to calculate your cellular network data usage, you add Sent plus Received, and the total is your usage, right?

[The Four Peters]

I'm following on Macrumors Live, and the new Netflix app sounds awesome. Allows you to watch your Instant Queue on your iPhone, coming out this summer. Sweet.

[Batman Likes The Sox]

So far, they've announced a free Netflix app for iPhone (including 3G streaming). So you might want to get ready to think twice about your monthly usage plan.

[NortheasternPJ]

This better get more interesting real fast.

[The Four Peters]

What, the Guitar Hero app doesn't get you excited?

[NortheasternPJ]

OMG FARMVILLE WITH PUSH NOTIFICATIONS! I stand corrected!

[AlNipper49]

He just spent ten minutes talking about that and Guitar Hero. Pretty underwhelming thus far, hopefully he's using totally useless shit as a buildup for something good.

[AlNipper49]

Covering 8 new features of iPhone 4 next

[Yazdog8]

iPhone 4! Worst kept secret ever!

As a sidenote, I had beers at the bar that the prototype was lost in this weekend.

[AlNipper49]

24% thinner

[AlNipper49]

Camera has flash. front-facing

[AlNipper49]

2x mic --- excellent. great for sound

[AlNipper49]

nice...... that band around the edge augments the antenna.

[The Four Peters]

Considering I am iPhone-less since my buddy jumped in the pool with my 3G last weekend, all I really want to know is the on-sale date.

[Dernells Casket n Flagon]

I don't know about other people, but I'd prefer the same thickness or 5-10% reduced and then a larger battery.

[AlNipper49]

heh retinal display

[NortheasternPJ]

the display contest seems to be over.

[Trautwein's Degree]

Considering I am iPhone-less since my buddy jumped in the pool with my 3G last weekend, all I really want to know is the on-sale date.

If history is any indication, they'll be on sale this week.

[AlNipper49]

at a 24% reduction it's now easier to throw and augmented battery on the back. native battery (rumored) to be improved 14% on this one.

[AlNipper49]

heh retinal display

this was a joke btw

It really means 326 pixels per inch

[AlNipper49]

or....

[The Four Peters]

And Jobs feels our pain without being able to load web pages.

[Batman Likes The Sox]

Evidently Jobs was asking an assistant if they had any ideas about why it wasn't loading and someone in the audience yelled out "Verizon". Hilarious.

[Trlicek's Whip]

Someone's going to be eviscerated in a ritual killing backstage after that slow load time.

And no earth-shaking iPhone news really exists for a lot of folks until Verizon gets one.

[PortlandSoxFan]

so the iPhone screen went from 'Pales in comparison to most new Android devices' to 'slightly better than most new Android devices'. Awesome!

[AlNipper49]

Awesome, it's powered by the A4, which does the iPad [and one of the reasons the iPad has such a better battery life - even considering the iPad has to batteries]

You're so cute when you're hating on apple.

[Yazdog8]

32GB of storage for the base model.

[Dernells Casket n Flagon]

So does with the Gyroscope will it stand up on its own? Take that Evo 4G with your kickstand!

[jayhoz]

No, up to 32GB

[Yazdog8]

No, up to 32GB

Damn you, Macrumors!

[The Four Peters]

Camera records HD Video.

[jayhoz]

Can someone please explain to me why any digital camera boasts a digital zoom? Everyone has an unlimited digital zoom. It's called your PC.

[Yazdog8]

iMovie for iPhone!

[Foulkey Reese]

I'm not really reading anything that's making me want to ditch my plan of getting a Droid in a few months.

[ragecage]

iMovie stuff is pretty insane.

[Yazdog8]

I'm not really reading anything that's making me want to ditch my plan of getting a Droid in a few months.

A buddy of mine recently ditched his iPhone for a droid once he got an iPad. The app store for the driod is a bit unorganized, but he hasn't regretted his switch. Hates AT&T with a passion.

[cromulence]

Why the hell would I want to edit a video on a freaking phone?

[The Four Peters]

Well Jobs told everyone to shut their laptops for the demos using WiFi, so the updates have come to a screeching halt.

[Comfortably Lomb]

What, the Guitar Hero app doesn't get you excited?

I haven't tried it on iPhone but it has to be horrible, no? The gimmick of playing the big goofy plastic instruments was everything and I'm convinced that franchise is dying anyway.

[Trlicek's Whip]

That's Steve Jobs health-scare thinner!

Engadget is still liveblogging.

Yeah I was being sarcastic. There's no way playing Guitar Hero on the phone would be very fun for me.

For masturbatory reasons? When I send a jerk vid, I get complaints if I don't get it under the 3min mark. I'm not a robot.

Still going

[The Four Peters]

Yeah MacRumors is back too. I think it might have only been during the demo?'

URI's pumped about the digital zoom for recording his jerk vids.

[Foulkey Reese]

@OldHossRadbourn The best part about the new iPhone is that it comes with skinny jeans and a trust fund.

Forget about length - no amateur porn is complete without star wipes. I'm sure iMoviePhone4z is all ready to go in that regard.

I didn't hear you bitching yesterday, sweet cheeks, except the video was too long for you.
