[IxDA Discuss] iPhone Keynote

[Esteban Barahona]

...it's a start. The technology and design is promising, for later products.
Cut out the phone functionality (making it more International at the same
time), increase by 2-3x the diagonal screen size, and it may be considered a
laptop replacement... but that may not be what Apple wants to go.

...I expect at least 2-3 days battery life in a cellphone.

What are high flouting shinnanigans?
