The screen could have been used as a flash like photobooth does if the camera was on the same side, I think that was the point that was being made.
While the PhotoBooth's technique is a clever attempt to add a camera flash where none exists the effect is minimal despite the size of the display (compared to the iPhone) and close proximity of the image being taken (usually a person less that 24" away).

you guys are obviously some apple dorks because no one has mentioned the ability to RECEIVE picture messages. I get chicks trying to send me enticing pictures all the time and i have to get out a pen to write down the stupid user/pass for viewmymessage? Really? Thats the most retarded thing ever. At least lemme click it--embed the variables in a querystring. I dont know what apple is thinkng with this but they have lost at least a few customers from my direction bc of mms alone
Not only that, if you'd like for people to receive it as a text message, you can send the email to: ###-###-####@teleflip.com
(This may work only in the US, though).
No, it can work in the UK as well. Also, there is an website designed specifically for O2 customers with an iPhone to receive an MMS. It's on Apple's Webapps page. And before anyone says... but I want to be able to get them when I'm not on the internet... you need internet access (GRPS/EDGE/3G) do download an MMS.
Hey Einstein, what if someones phone doesn't have email capabilities?
How come it's always the people who start their posts with "umm" that are the biggest id*ots?

You can share via email and with better quality than MMS. THough I dont' understand why you can't choose whether you want the software to reduce the image size or not.
Of course email is better quality than MMS: because you can't bloody do it with MMS - anything would be better. Printing the picture out and posting it to friend is currently better than MMS on the iPhone.
I'm the only person I know with an iPhone, all of my friends have 'regular' phones and it's become a bit of a running joke that I've been cut out of the loop since I got my iPhone. A lot of my friends find it absolutely hillarious that I can't even send pictures via MMS after shelling out the best part of £900.
It's kind of like buying an HD TV and then finding out that you can't watch the regular channels anymore - only the HD channels.
Nope, Notes are purely text notes. A To Do app would sync individual To Dos (along with alarms, and other details related to the To Do) with iCal or Entourage. Not the same thing.

It is possible that yours is, but most people's personal lives (which is primarily the market that the iPhone is currently aimed at) are not that complicated.........
Dude the 5th pic says it all (drag an icon to the far right to create additional home screens)
that right there dont sound right, let me guess could it be that the installer app button is in a additional screen and this thing is just jailbroken \

Give me a break.
To Dos are a fundamental feature of iCal, Entourage, Outlook, Exchange, the Palm OS, and pretty any personal organizer ever made. They're not complicated, unless you'd call email an unnecessary complication over simple pen and paper.
Writing out To Dos as simple text notes would be more complicated and tedious for people than using a proper To Do system. You couldn't schedule reminders. You couldn't move a To Do from one day to another, or prioritize them easily. They wouldn't sync effortlessly with your desktop computer, so you wouldn't have a copy of them no matter what screen you happened to be looking at (desktop, laptop, iPhone, etc.).
Anyway, Apple thought that To Dos were important enough to add into Leopard's new Mail program, so it's not too much to ask for iPhone support as well.

All I want for New Year's is copy & paste and flash...
Flash will not happen. Copy and Paste should though.

What planet are you from?
Um... you can share your pictures. with email.
Not only that, if you'd like for people to receive it as a text message, you can send the email to: ###-###-####@teleflip.com
(This may work only in the US, though).
Great... but what if your buddies phone doesn't have his email on it.
See above.

Most phone cameras use an LED for that, much better. The peak luminosity is much greater.
He should have said that he wanted the phone on the front.
I'm not saying that using the screen as a flash would work, just trying to make sense of the comment.

I wish Apple would focus on some core functionality, instead of superficial features like rearranging Home page icons, and so on....
Where is a To Do app? It should have been in the launch product, and still no sign of it after 6 months.
