Looks to me like the iPhone, when it comes out in 6 months from now, will include a still image digital camera not a video camera. Comparing taking a still image at 2 Mpixel to a VGA video stream is a little like comparing apples and oranges.

That along with the inclusion of a GSM phone, likely a planned-obsolescent non-replaceable battery, wildly inferior screen resolutions and no third-party apps allowed, it baffles me why anyone thinks they are competitors. It is far more similar to an upgraded Qtopia Greenphone (or, like Karel mentioned, the FIC Neo1973 which has twice the screen resolution of the iPhone) ... but with none of the openness.
