Your point is that you don't want to wait for a next-gen non-phone PDA-like multimedia device, so maybe you'll buy a phone...
Dude, seriously, you're confused
Personally I think the HW platform (aka the new CPU) is way cool and powerful, still I believe the iphone is as dumb as a phone can get given the restrictions set by apple...
The decision is yours to take, but I'd like you to think twice about the kind of device you're looking for
