    Odd that it says about being able to have a photo of your choosing on the home/lock screen, I already have whatever photo I want on mine unless I'm getting mixed up?

    Apple is far behind in some features, after Android and other smart phones they realise, now introduce all the missing features in a nice way of telling 'not first but best'.

    For some reason design and lookwise iPhone is still number one from my view.

    As this will also appear on iPod Touches, can anyone tell me what the point of an iPad is now?

    I believe that the older 2g touches will not get all the features (multi-tasking) as they are not powerful enough, same for the iphone 3g, shame really! :(

    I was reading this with interest as I was waiting for the new Iphone later this year to come out (I just got rid of my 3G because it doesn't multitask)

    But now your going to be hit with an Ad every 3 mins when your use any app (it will open in a new window) I already hate the bloody ads that sit in some apps....why would I want more???

    Why the hell do people think I want ads every 3 minutes when I'm using my phone.....because of this I will NOT be getting the new Iphone
    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly


    I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right

    I'm surprised iPhone users are that keen on advances that others have already seen

    After all, going back a few years, about the original iPhone, wasn't one of its users' excuses rumoured to be:

    ‘What do you need 3G for? You can easily use the iPhone without using a 3G network and anyway, 3G is not particularly widespread so this is not a problem.’

    I think you are missing the point somewhat. It is upto the developer whether they have ads or not. Where on earth have you got that every app will have ads from?

    Tens of thousands of apps currently have ads - but then clicked they usually open up Safari and close your app. iAds will stop that. Can't see what the fuss is about. It is an improvement.
