  • It'll be interesting to see whether Apple gave addressed the 3G vs. battery power problem! Also whether they'll be any hint of a 32 Gb version. Fingers crossed!

  • Before Mr. Editor points it out, I have already a the "gave" rather than "have" typo in the post above. I'm blaming it on the iPhone's predictive text!!!
