Don't need the video features but the higher resolution camera with zoom would be nice along with the extra battery power. A lot of the new features will also be available on the older iphones with the new O/S like improved email client, etc.

Cue the apple haters in 3....2.....1.......

Personally, I'm quite excited to see how the screen looks. And understanding the "magic" behind it as well.

A few tidbits:
- "Retina screen"
- 960 x 640 pixels (326 ppi)
- IPS (in-plane-switching)

etc.

Frankly, I can't wait…although financially I'll have to wait! Sounds like a great new phone to me. I've converted everything over to Apple. I can show all kinds of cool stuff on the my old crisp and clear DLP HDTV using my new (for me anyway) Pioneer receiver which came ready to play the stuff on my iPhone. As a kid of the 60s, I feel like I've gotten lost in the toy store.

Well...my daughter and I were discussing our iPhones and I suggested I'd give her up first. She suggested she'd keep me - I pay the bill on hers!!

I am an old tech person, so on the technical alone, this is just an amazing device. Who would ever figure a company would go all out in almost every direction, and give a great design also. My wife has burned out her latest Blackberry, so we're getting in line for the shuffle - she gets my 3G, and I get a 4 - for father's day (aka. I didn't kill her kids day).

For me, a giant item should be the display. My aging eyes were crying for an iPad, but if the display is what they say, I won't need it. Nice as a computer, but not so good as a pocket device!
