Well, WRT OTG, some hackers already have it working, and we'll get it nicely packaged "any day now" (I think a week or two). It's likely to take a bit longer to hack that on an iPhone, because you can't build a stock kernel from source -- you either gotta hack object code, and take advantage of the existing kernel, or start completely from scratch. OTOH, I suppose a chances exists (though vanishingly slim, IMO) that iOS gets OTG in a future update, where Maemo never will.

Of course, I would tend to call that angle "hackability" or "openness" -- "configurability" probably referred to something totally different.

Oh, and processor-wise -- everyone knows an A4 SoC has a Cortex A8 core, same as ours. (And running the same 1GHz clock speed as some of ours. ) But if you want to compare numbers, you gotta compare SoC vs. SoC, so it's 0xA4 vs 3430 -- we're 20.9x as good!

You do know that it took me a second to figure out how you got that number, right? Today is very slow day for me it seems

I saw the USB OTG "hack" and was impressed and we all know that Apple would never allow that directly. Not unless down the line they can charge you for an accessory and get even more money from you.

If that USB OTG dongle comes out for the iPhone 4, I want my cut Steve!

I thought that there was limited USB OTG for iPad, like using that ******ed camera connector. I have seen like a hard drive plugged into it and working, and i thought someone made a camera for the iPad or something like that... Its not real OTG but like if you have a bluetooth keyboard the only reason for OTG really is hard drives... or hacking stuff...

true the Evo has wimax, still it has a new technology different from 3g.
About video chat: n900 has gtalk and skype video chat no matter netwrok. Iphone 4 only has video chat with itself and over wifi. in my opinion except for the screen.

I haven't seen any info of the A4 chip in the iphone 4 being clocked at 1ghz. Anything I missed in their presentation?

Or are you just doing to computing what you claim others do with medicine?
