IPhone 4 is official

Apple's next-gen iPhone also comes equipped with Apple's speedy A4 chip and a gyroscope, which when coupled with the accelerometer, provides 6-axis motion sensing.

Six Axis? OK, I picked up my mouse, and demonstrated to myself, rotating it about each of the three(X,Y,Z) Cartesian axis -- no problem. So then I tried to figure out the other three: All I can guess is that they are movement along those prior mentioned axes. Is this correct?

Is there any good, sound, technical reason why iOS4 won't run on 1st-gen hardware (iPod and iPhones)?

I understand some hardware may be missing (bluetooth on 1st-gen iPods and 3G on 1st-gen iPhones) but the computer that runs the show is pretty much the same as the 2nd-gen ones.

That's insanely high res. How many pixels would my 15" MBP have at that DPI?

15" / 3.5" * how many pixels the new iPhone has. Math people.

So ~4100 by 2700. Pretty nice.
