960x640 Screen, 512MB RAM in iPhone HD?

[wolfnumba1]

i dont think that this will be the next iphone screen size cause apple didnt changed the last 2 iphone gen. design so i think that apple wont exceed the breakin' down..

about the RAM i dont know what to say.

cant wait.

do you mean they wont change the screen size or you dont think they will make the screen this high of a resolution?

[manickbarry]

Well if apple don't improve on virtually every aspect I will move to a HTC device

yea, the hd2 looks sweet

If the iPad only has 256MB of RAM I find it highly unlikely that the next iPhone would have double that. They'll both be running the same OS, but the iPad has a good deal more pixels to push, so if anything you'd assume they'd have given it more RAM. Clearly they (APPLE) thought 256MB would be sufficient. Android, WinMo, and now WebOS have 512 devices because they are horribly inefficient at multitasking. Unless you close programs manually or reboot regularly you'll see the more and more RAM needed until you haven't anymore and programs run slowly and get closed. The services method employed in OS4 (iPhone) doesn't have that kind of overhead. Apps don't run in the background, only portions of apps run (like streaming music or tracking GPS data without the need to render the user interface). This approach makes a hell of a lot more sense on a mobile device than allowing everything to run willy nilly, eating up RAM like candy. Some of you might want to have apps running in the background, instead of just services, but frankly it makes no practical difference which method is employed except as it relates to performance and battery life; the user sees gets the same experience either way.

So you're basically ranting about a 1% pixel difference. *sigh*

Lol and Zune HD is 480 x 272 and microsoft called it HD.

although the Zune HD screen can only support 480x272.. the device can display higher resolutions once its synced to another display screen.

Zune HD 32

Guys if you want to change your iPhone to HTC, pelase do so now :P

[bennybenny]

Why's that? Should we at least wait till the iPhone is released, as tempting as it is to swap to HTC, it's so hard cos I'm used to the iPhone interface- but that could be bad thing

I just hope the increase battery capacity is enough to offset to power this is gonna suck up.

When will people quit whining about battery-life ?

Hopefully, when they understand that the device has the processing power of a 2002 PC.

Hopefully too, when they understand that having the word "Phone" in the name doesn't mean it has the same power requirements as a $20 dumbphone.

As Scotty might have said "I cannae change the laws of physics, cap'n".

If you can't live with the battery life, devise a new battery technology or STFU already.

have to see it to believe it. Though i will upgrade and pay the difference. Hope it lives up to all the hype.

I'm just being sarcastic as I know that WM or Android or Symbian is FAAAAAAAR from iPhone OS :]

I had all devices using all systems mentioned above and I loved iPhone OS interface too, even though I was so against any phone from apple, but not anymore. Now I recommend it to all I know, but nobody seems to believe me and it is too expensive for some. The HTC Desire I'm getting from tmobile is going away via ebay straight away.
