Forget about 802.11n already. Apple won't put it in for another reason. Price, these chips come at a premium and that's cutting into Apples profit margins. To get folks to but the next generation iPhone all they need to do is put a front facing camera that can be used for video conferencing. The 802.11n rumors will probably get put to use in a future iPhone product or the itablet. 'Nuff said.

I'm sure all this new hardwear means a better battery. Every iPod that's come out has seen an increase in battery life except maybe the new shuffle (but that's understandible). It's the fact that 802.11g is slightly outdated. Sure most homes or WiFi hotspots are not using it but why limit the technology. Please quit crying about battery life because Apple will have a solution. Besides, hasn't it already been reported that it is an 802.11n Low Power chipset. Let's move on....

80211n, if you don't have a fancy new dual-band router, will stop every other device in your area from revving down to 2.5/802.11g for compatibility

Let 5/802.11n reign!

I think it's become clear that Apple is at least working on video recording in some way. My only question is whether it will be implemented with all iPhone hardware or if it will only come to forthcoming hardware that may have a better camera and memory storage that records video more efficiently than the current iPhones. I'm not planning on getting any kind of new hardware for at least another year or so, so I hope it's the former.

I don't get all the hype about 802.11n on the iPhone. No residential household has broadband speeds above 54mbps, so unless you just want to have your whole household on N its kind of pointless. I'm sure an N chip means more battery usage. If we are gonna waste battery I'd rather waste it on backgrounded processes rather than an N chip just because the technology allows it.

By the way Skype works great on 3G on a jailbroken with VoIPover3g. There were a few problems at first but its all good now.

Because it's all about capabilities! Why not if the technology allows it? Naysayers....

Even on a MacBook Pro, web surfing speed is limited by your broadband speed, browser rendering speed, and processor much more than whether you're using N or G WiFi. Why would 802.11n matter on an iPhone?

Am I missing somthing here if had videocalling for a long time on other phones in the past. I can see a use when in wifi with skype or msn but can't really see them implementing on 3g web based . Surely that's revenue lost on video calling. Skype can only be used wifi at the mo!

Hmmm anyone outvthere jailbroken and using skype? Be intersting to know the results and wether it's a replacement for a big bundle of inclusive minutes

Who gives a crap about the digital compass? You look like an idiot when you're using it anyway, such a gimick

video chat on a cellphone sounds like a cool "future-like" feature but honestly i am not sure i would ever use it.

here is my wishlist for the next gen hardware:

video recording 802.11n faster processor higher 3g speeds all while having at least the same battery life as the current iphone 3g, if not better.

for me the name of the game is faster, faster, faster!!
