Very interesting developments from Apple.

The increase in screen rez is nice, but not so radically superior to the N900 that it makes a big deal. You still can't do pressure-sensitive work like MyPaint on it. To me, the N900 screen still has the edge...I'd still prefer a minimum screen size of 4", however.

All the compass, gyroscope etc hardware is pure win for Apple. Why Nokia didn't include a compass is still a mystery to me. Talk about obvious requirements.

Mostly, I'm curious about the vidcall capabilities. They have actually beaten me to the punch, as I'm working on a nicer Qt interface that uses both cameras. However, I intend my vidcall client to be open-standard compliant, not "iPhone-to-iPhone"...which is lamer than a smoking monkey.
