Just read that Apple has sold 3 million iPads in the first 80 days of sales. Wow! My company has about 50 employees and I know of about 20 people that have one already here.

I wonder how long it will take before someone has jailbroken it.

What benifits are there now with the IP4? You have multitask now built in, right?

Nah, I have nothing against apple at all. I'm just glad there is now some stiff competition.

I was so hellbent on the incredible, and if it returns to stock this week I'll probably pick it up for the road trip, but dayum I'm sick of comparing phones and learning about new ones coming out etc. Tiresome trying to keep up!

that's one of the main ones along with being able to arrange apps into folders and the compass is pretty cool. :P It all works quite well. The screen is phenomenal. The main seller for me was the claimed battery life though. We'll see if its as good as thy claim.

Plus you can video sex chat like Eric said.

So wait, it doesn't have multitask on the Iphone 4 built in by default? I thought I had read it did?

When you say battery life, how long would you expect out of it? With moderate use on mine, I charge at night (15+ hour day of useage) and I'm at about 27-35%.

I am however running the phone currently over clocked when the screen is on by almost 200 Hz to 710 (stock 528 proc) and underclocked when the screen is off way down to 246 Hz

yes it does have multi tasking. Thats what I was saying was one of the main benefits of the new software. Sorry.

supposedly:

Talk time:
Up to 7 hours on 3G
Up to 14 hours on 2G

Standby time: Up to 300 hours

Internet use:
Up to 6 hours on 3G
Up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi

Video playback: Up to 10 hours
Audio playback: Up to 40 hours

the current phones (up to this point) would barely last a day with mild-moderate use before they would be dead.

Apple has stepped up their battery game big time, it'll be the major reason why I'll end up splurging on a newer MBP. As far as iPhone 4 I see no compelling reason to upgrade from a 3GS right now.

I'm always happy to see new releases from Apple. It's hard to deny their ability to market a product and the products they release. I'm really excited to see the amount of droid's (and their features) hitting the market. Options are always a good thing.

*not in a sarcastic voice* So they are going to last a day, essentially? Was the battery that bad before? Forgive my ignorance, I've never owned an Iphone, just an Ipod Touch which is always on the charger/dock.

I don't talk on my phone a whole lot, but in a normal day with a couple 10-30 minute calls, a good bit of texting, and some internet use I'd often have a completely dead phone by 10pm or so. Mine was a 3G. That 3Gs was supposedly a bit better as far as battery life, but this should be quite a bit better. One plus about these phones though is that it only takes about 10-20 minutes max for a full charge.
