Dragon dictation on the iphone is quite good for typing sms, short notes and web search too. Its server based though, not native. But being Nuance you know its going to be good.

Works good when you are running down the road to the subway and have little time or inclination to type a web address etc (I have done this on more than one occassion)

Also if you hate using software keyboards to text moderately sized text messages. Video:

Ha, we should grow this thread into something else, like the PR1.2 thread....

I vote for 'Medical PDF annotation, with some iPhone 4 discussion' Later we can add the Rick Cobain talk.

A stylus has it's uses, even if you don't always have to use it, it's a nice added bonus.
I had a very similar conversation with one of Jobs' sheeps/customers, and like you I still don't see how having free choice to either use your fingers or stylus (heck, or whatever else is at hand at the moment) is inferiour to being forced into using your (clean, ungloved, hopefully slender) fingers alone.

I do! I've been searching with no real luck so far, only have 2 or 3 useful ones. Luckily all of my coursework and summaries are available in PDF, so it's much nicer than dragging books around

I would really kill for a Radiological Anatomy and Memorizer apps like the ones on the iPhone

I only have a Vanders (Physiology) and Essential Cell Biology, but yes indeed, PM's

So on-topic, iPhone 4, can it stop a bullet?

CPU Apple A4 - an O'C version and improved of Cortex-A8 arm-v7, with double of RAM brand width and improving the speed to 1Ghz.

Apple A4 has a cortex-a8 + PowerSGX 535 inside.

I got to say the graphic on it was totally astonishing.

I wonder if the 4 will have the same cool phone home feature as the 3GS. I'm gonna call T-Mobile tomorrow to see if they have a similar offering for my n900. If they do, I hope they don't charge extra for it, because it's free for the iPhone [crossing my fingers with my stylus].

@daperl: thanks for that phone home bits. I wouldn't be that surprised if the conspiracy theory behind it is true, since Jobs had a few defense/secret projects with the US gov't since the days Pixar was still making and selling graphic hardware. But I'd imagine AT&T would and should've been clued-in to this scheme and I wonder why those data appeared at all in so many customers' bills.

I wonder how it affects Nokia phone/services:
