WOW!!!!! I don't think your good at maths at all.

Much better news for me, not as disappointed now as this was exactly all I wanted in the new iPhone (except for a design change, which I am still disappointed with).

Still an awful, awful ripoff...

why is it a rip off?? the price for their current phone is still $199 for a 16GB model? one year ago it was $199 for the 8GB model... disappointment, maybe. rip off, no!

50% faster means its 50% faster

50% slower(which you are thinking of) means its 50% slower

Does this mean I can't use a 3G Screen Protector with the new 3GS? Please let me know immediately!

Welcome to the American education system.

Back to the actual tech specs. Hopefully these, along with a better battery, will allow for apps like AIM to be run in the background.

According to Apple.com http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html and http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs-3g.html the dimensions of the 3GS and the 3G are exactly the same. The only difference is that the 3GS is 0.1 ounces heavier. My answer would be that you can use your screen protector with it, but then again, I don't work for Apple, it's just an educated guess.

I honestly do expect backgrounding to be coming to the 3GS, possibly even apps that run only on the 2DS or that are optimized for the 3GS. The people who are screaming "rip off" are just the ones that are bitter that they won;t be given a discount on the phone because they are currently on contract. As I said before, other companies don;t do it, why should ATT?

Because of the same dimensions, obviously you can use any screen protector you like designed for the iPhone 3G... However unless you want the cons that go along with that screen you're SOL. I don't think the anti-oil benefits of the new screen will ooze through into your personal screen. MAYBE manufacturers will start making the oleographic (however it's spelled) screens scratch proof as well?

ARM7 isn't possible, it has to be ARM11 or ARM Cortex A8. ARM7 is a microcontroller-type CPU.
