The iOS4 update is released on US time but has is available worldwide at the same time. I also don't really follow your point at least software wise it seems to me all Apple announcements apply to the world aside from things like the iPhone Apple Store app and when the hardware is announced Apple are pretty good at specifying where it will be available.

Weird.

Quite emphatically no. There will not be Flash. NEVAR!!!

Using the beta and soon the GM Seed the iOS4 seemed to make things just a little snappier on my 3GS not a huge amount quicker but it did seem to work a little quicker. As for the new iPhone, I will have to wait and see how much the upgrade cost will be. My early termination charge half way through my contract is just over $1000 so it may make more sense just to buy it outright.

With every iteration of Windows you can see they're usually glaring UI updates and usability fixes but with OS X they seem to be more on refining the OS rather than the overhaul you see from MS I am not sure if that comes down to the release schedule seems quicker for OS X or if they have just nailed the GUI and are now focusing all their efforts on under the hood enhancement.

The download on the other hand took about 4-5 hours their servers don't really seem to be up to snuff. It initially kicked off with speeds of 1.0Mb/s but slowly went down to about a 100Kb/s and went down even further but all in all it seems to be a tight little app and works quite nicely.

Surprise Surprise.

Also what would annoy me is if there are suddenly 2 copies of each app appearing in a search one iPad app and one iPhone version.

Jesus. In saying that grabbed my copy purely for parallels being cheaper, the rest of the applications are purely a bonus. One gripe for me is the download speed 4 hours for 338 MB? I know I am in Australia but I have already fired up the diesel generator and the internet is running quite quickly down here and the kangaroo has been tied down it still seems rather slow.

Most of the time I want to hug them which could get me in trouble....

I may have let him win but only by 1. We then hi fived and shared a sweaty man hug. Ballmer was there too but we left him on the sidelines as he kept shouting FRISBEE FRISBEE FRISBEE!

It just sounds like any moron can get a job spewing conjecture and hyperbole all over the internet and I am really tired of it, they don't pay any attention to the confirmed facts about the device. I know one of the nice things about the internet is most people can get online and say whatever they want but publications shouldn't be giving them a voice that should be saved for their blog, thats the same reason we don't let the homeless lady with a pet suitcase go on TV and report the news. Jim I have a source, at least I say I have a source yet due to journalistic ethics I cannot reveal my sources. With that being said the iPad will actually be powered with Apple's new Lithium-Plutonium battery with an estimated battery life of ten years, the hours was a typo(sometimes even Steve makes mistakes). When I was having coffee with Steve yesterday though he refused to confirm or deny this then we played ultimate frizbee.
