Another iPhone v4 insider info
 
There is a good chance that it will have a touch sensitive body similar to their new mouse. It will let the phone do cool new features like reacting to gestures from multiple fingers that hold the device.

I highly doubt it..
Might be in development, maybe a few years from now..
Even then.. Can't see a lot of use for it for a mainstream user other than buttons.. The iphone is not intended for early adopters of new technologies and seeing how something like a full body touchscreen might seem overly complicated to most people I don't think apple would go for something like that..
Also if you notice it goes against what they've been doing so far (each version of the iphone changes very slightly).

Will it have a physical keyboard?

Then it's still not worth my interest.

No. They may choose to add support for BT keyboard though.

And another 150 thousand more apps than the N900.

You could always throw the N900 away if you don't like it and think the competition is light years ahead. It is a free market after all.

Sure, check this out: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsungs_fir...9-news-732.php

Oh and BTW it is a year old technology.

And Nokia will probably say something like: hmm, well, dunno, we kinda missed the last 2 years innovation wise, wait, let's catch up. eta 2012, maybe...

I really don't think that a projector is mandatory on a smartphone and the situation is not likely to change. Why would you need that?

I could understand if you were a salesman and had to do a lot of customer visits so maybe this would be handy. I'd still stick to my laptop though - ofcourse some customers don't have a projector so then this would be cool but I don't see a big need for this.

CES showed a laser projector that was the size of a deck of cards, and could handle the usual video sources.

And the resolution is only 480x320, so tvout on the n900 wins anyway.
