How about a display on the back? That way there would be (nearly) no wrong way to hold your phone.

#33My bet is on a larger screen: resolution is high enough to support larger screen and competition has nice large screens already.

#34What a silly person. The hardware is magic! :)
Re: Apple’s boring hardware updates
#35There is still a lot of scope for significant hardware changes in the device space. A couple of my favourites - a) Pen input on iPad category devices (great for schools!) and b) camera embedded within the display (so you can look at the other in the eye).

#36... LTE chipset (which currently has coverage almost nowhere) Whoa! Marco is beginning to sound more annoying than Gruber. The Apple fanbois make statements like this all the time -- Apple doesn't support something, so therefore it's irrelevant? LTE is available in NYC, LA, and Chicago (and 20 other cities), which are the three biggest markets in the US. That's not "nowhere", that's "a good chunk of the population".…
How good is that LTE coverage though, even within those cities? Granted, I'm on AT&T, but today I was on the sunset strip in Hollywood and my iPhone dropped to EDGE. The sunset strip doesn't even have 3G and I'm supposed to get excited about 4G?

#37I was really surprised that Apple chose to unveil thunderbolt in a press release rather than at an event. They'd been working with Intel for years and at the end all it garnered was "oh by the way the new MB pros will have lightpeak I/O ports built in and we're calling it thunderbolt." Couldn't they have waited the few weeks until the iPad announcement and unveiled it then? Apple missed a huge opportunity for free press(they were already there for the iPad, why not tell them about your revolutionary new I/O technology?) but oh well. Guess even Apple drops the ball from time to time.

the ipad 2 was on the front page of thousands of free daily commuter papers across the globe.
nobody cares about a new port. event or not.

While I really like the idea of 10GB/s transfer speeds, I can't help but think Thunderbolt will go down the path of Firewire.
It's called Unviersal Serial Bus for many reasons, but I still think USB will remain king, regardless of transfer speeds
