One slight design flaw I can see. I'll never fit that bastard into my pocket.... ;)

they also renamed their OS the same name as cisco's OS on its switches and routers. They keep stealing all these names from cisco...

This time it's actually licensed...

It's apparently thinner than the previous ones, though the thickness is uniform rather than being thinner at the edges like the previous iPhone.

Actually, they've changed the picture, which ruined the effect of my comment, the original picture was of someone standing next to a model of the product, which was about 1 1/2 times as big as he was ;)

/me checks the iPlayer video.

Haha, that's almost like a Windows 98 moment for Steve Jobs right there.

Gizmodo got the drop on Apple, though. They knew they were onto something big, and this is it.

Mind you, I'm not going to rush for it. I already have problems fitting a first-generation iPod Touch in my pockets. My pockets stand out pretty prominently if my cellphone is stacked in front of it.

I've never understood that complaint about it fitting in pockets (yes, I got the joke :P)
Surely most pockets are big enough to fit your hand in, and most peoples hands are bigger than iphones? o_O

My hand is thinner than an iPhone. It's about as thick as my iPod Touch. Or at least, the fingers are.

The Apocalypse is coming and no film at 11?  What kind of newscaster is the thread starter?

Well, there isn't much to the 4G as far as I know. It's not as if I use most of the features on my 1G iPod Touch anyway. That was the main reason why I restored it to factory settings after leaving it jailbroken for about three months.
