#32So with all this great stuff (amazing new features, great market share, etc.), I wonder how Apple doesn't open the iPhone to non-ATT carriers. That's the single reason I have been staying on my good ol'RIM BB. Any ideas?

#33I'm not really clear on what the gyroscope adds that wasn't there before, can someone clarify?
My guess is that it will improve the response of the compass. Really handy for navigation.

This was submitted here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1410917 , but I wanted to comment to mention that it automatically refreshes with good pictures.
ye I also prefer it because the site scrolls easier, comments are better and there are more/better pictures

#36Market share: iPhone 28%, Android 9% Mobile browsing: iPhone 58.2%, Android 22.7% Looks like Android is edging the iPhone in mobile pageviews per user. Or am I thinking about this wrong?
That seems right, but it's possibly because iPhone users are more likely to use the native-app version of popular websites.
Is that not true of Android users as well? Most of the sites I use on a regular basis have an Android presence as well (Facebook, Yelp, etc..)
I think the probable reason is that the web-browsing data tends to be a few months ahead of those gartner market-share estimates.

Steve couldn't get on that vaunted AT&T network. Someone shouted "Verizon". Haha.
Hurr Hurr but look at the pictures - it's on WiFi. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/06/apple-...
So the wifi is saturated because there are 500 people streaming photos and tweets from the hall.
C'mon. Can't Apple just live stream these keynotes from here on out? Everyone on all sides knows these announcements are in the public sphere 250 milliseconds after Steve says it.
For being so controlling of their media message, why let the bloggers run the final leg?

#38I'm not sure I follow the "Retinal Display" name. Is this just branding on a 300dpi pixel resolution? Or is there something to do with multi-resolution support for apps (those coded in the old resolution will still get up-converted text resolution, it sounded like).

It’s just a name for a 300+ ppi display. At that resolution and at the distances you usually hold a phone from the eye you shouldn’t be able to discern individual pixels. That’s it. The app things seems obvious, would be a serious oversight if they didn’t do that.

The Gartner market-share data is from Q1 2010 I thought. I guess that is a few months old now.
