Unlike many of the rumor-mongering analysts who have clear financial dependence on all news apple, Leander Keaney is a JOURNALIST--with a decent reputation. His new book, Inside Steve's Brain shows how dedicated he is to the history and nuance of Apple. Why would he risk journalistic integrity just to throw another rumor on the pile?
LOL. He's an author. It sounds like he's using the time-tested practice of extrapolation. I have to doubt that he has some kind of inside track on Steve, since he's typically loathe to give interviews and instead saves it all for his presentations.
In a year of watching comments about the iPhone, I have never seen anyone state 'battery life that supports all day internet use' as any sort of rational expectation.
That'll be nice some day, but at the moment I see browsing as an activity that one would expect to be 'as needed' and subject to reasonable battery expectations.
While not expected by most, i don't think having an internet capable device being able to last all day to be irrational. I can get over 8 hours out of the internet use on the iPhone over EDGE, but I have to turn off WiFi and reduce the brightness to it's minimum level. Hardly an ideal situation.
I just don't see making the device thinner a better option than making it last longer, though perhaps they are using newer battery technology. It's relatively dull so it doesn't get discussed much on tech sites.
I really think that all these rumors are about two iPhones.
First: Little thicker, 3G, GPS, 32GB. Black `$399
Second: Much thinner, no 3G, no GPS, 16GB. Black and White. $199
Apple loves to divide their products. Just like iPod and iPod nano. People needed simpler and smaller, while others needed bigger and bigger. I could really see iPhone being divided into a business pro line and simpler iPhone we all already used. After all, Apple is entering Mobile market.
I hope to see more accessories made for iPhone 2 by Apple.
Oh, great... rumor inflation is setting in. In order to get the hits now, the rumor sites have to have some surprising new news, and start grasping at straws. By the time WWDC rolls around, that Steve is "only" announcing a new iPhone with a new operating system and SDK that has 3G and a bunch of new functionality with be a yawn because it doesn't have 2 years of battery life and a 1280x960 screen.
I am selling all my Apple stock this week as I fear it is going to plummet when there is no new iPhone to be sold next week that solves world hunger.

Journalist. Dedicated to Apple. Has a new book out. About Jobs.
Sooooo... explain again how he doesn't have a clear financial dependence on all news Apple?
I can get over 8 hours out of the internet use on the iPhone over EDGE, but I have to turn off WiFi and reduce the brightness to it's minimum level. Hardly an ideal situation.
I would go completely insane if I had to browse the internet for 8 hours a day on an iPhone.

Replying to AI is quite a chore, but Meebo, mail, and my RSS feeds are not an issue. It's no replacement for a proper computer, but I'd much rather have it than nothing at all.
Moxie recently released an external battery pack for the iPhone. I've been waiting since I'll be replacing mine right away. Hopefully it won't take them so long to come out with a new one that fits the new iPhone.
why can't the 3G automatically turn on when you open safari and turn off when you go back to the home screen?
why can't das 3g automatically turn on when it checks email and turn back off when it's finished checking/downloading?
why can't les 3g automatically turn on and off when it's needed?
[i'm not so technically inclinced, but if you can turn it off manually, as suggested in software update photos, why not do it on the auto matic?]
I believe this is what it does do. The on/off switch is to prevent the unnecessary waste of battery when it does check for emails or opens webpages. Not all areas are 3G and even those that may not offer speed increases that warrant the use of having HSDPA turned on.

Finally, a little bit of clarity from an educated thinker.

Again, 8 straight hours of internet on an iPhone?
Are you walking around, using Edge the whole time? Or are you sitting in a $tarbuck$?
If the latter, why not juice yourself up at some point with a little AC? The adapter is tiny compared with any laptop and is no weight burden to any typical backpack/messenger bag/attaché.

I hope you are being ironic, because you agreeing with me gives me cause for concern.

Not sure if I really want it much thinner though, I like my iPhone's extra thickness over my iPod Touch when I had it.

3G, 20% thinner, *and* better battery life?
Yeah, right.
Don't forget that it's supposed to also have GPS. I call BS.

Second: Much thinner, no 3G, no GPS, 16GB. Black and White. $199
I think you've got the right idea, but your price points are off. My guess:
First: $549/16GB, $699/32GB
Second: $299

momoe
Thinner, 3G, GPS, more storage and better battery life? I'll see it when I believe it.
And when you see it, you're going to buy it.
I'd be very, very afraid if I were RIM. This may mark the beginning of the end (albeit a slow decline toward dead) for the Crapberry.
