I think the editor is on the wrong track.

It's never been Apple's way to ship different versions of the OS. They like to ship their OS's just one SKU at a time. Apple just doesn't want the support nightmare that Microsoft has.

What Apple HAS always tried to do is to distinguish their machines with "killer apps" or other content. Remember the U2 iPod? That was Apple's way of selling a unique product -- loading it up with every U2 song ever made.

So, here's what I see... premium iPhones will come with some premium apps, pre-installed. They may be written by Apple, they may be as-yet unreleased, or they may just be a collection of the most popular productivity apps in the App Store. If I had to bet on what at least one of those app packages would be, I would gamble on at least one phone coming with an iPhone version of Apple's office suite. Another phone might be a gamer edition, with the top 20 games from the App Store and a red back plate (or something like that). And there might be another music one that is focused on a particular artist (the Barry Manilow Special Edition).

There's a bigger rumor now about the release specific of this rumored third generation iPhone. I saw this: http://tinyurl.com/r9n78e

I don't have a real iPhone but I wanted to check out some of these new features on the online iPhone, but I can't figure out how to use the video recorder at http://interactiveiphone.com I tried going to the Camera App but then it wouldn't let me do anything else. Can someone help me?

While it might make sense from a business point of view, it might not be the case from a user point of view. Samsung has been doing it for years now and recently giving them a backslash in Thailand.
What they (Samsung) has done is similar to the idea described above. Making only a couple of handsets per year but shipping many. This mean that you’ll end buying a Samsung Y, thinking it is brand new but it isn’t, it its actually an old version from last year but with new design and for example FM radio but no MP3 player – while the original model X had the both MP3 and FM but at a higher price. Users in Thailand and vendors went back to Samsung demanding them not to sell old handsets on different names and flavors and a couple of Samsung CEO’s stepped down. Just because your wife puts on another dress and cuts her hair dosent give her more value - she is still the same old hag :-)

@Yozzo. It's a typical tech business practice--think of Sony's myriad of very very similar headphones, each with a confusing product number and hard-to-distinguish specs. I hope Apple doesn't end up going down this line, but if it does, I suspect George is close to the mark (and @George, I'm actually as skeptical as you.)

The display responds to three sensors. A proximity sensor deactivates the display and touchscreen website design when the device is brought near the face during a call. This is done to save battery power and to prevent inadvertent inputs from the user's face and ears. An ambient light sensor adjusts the display brightness which in turn saves battery power. A 3-axis accelerometer senses the orientation of the phone and changes the screen accordingly, allowing the user to easily switch between portrait and landscape mode.Photo browsing wireless internet providers, web browsing, and music playing support both upright and left or right widescreen orientations.The 3.0 update added landscape support for still other applications, such as email, and introduced shaking the unit as a form of input.The accelerometer can also be used to control third party apps, notably games.Apple runs tests on preproduction units to determine battery life. Apple's internet access website says that the battery life "is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity after 400 full charge and discharge cycles",which is comparable to iPod batteries. The original iPhone's battery was stated to be capable of providing up to seven hours of video, six hours of web browsing, eight hours of talk time, 24 hours of music or up to 250 hours on standby. The iPhone 3G's battery is stated to be capable of providing up to seven hours of video, six hours of web browsing on Wi-Fi or five on 3G backup, ten hours of 2G talk time, or five on 3G, 24 hours of music, or 300 hours of standby.Apple claims that the 3GS can last for up to ten hours of video, nine hours of web browsing on Wi-Fi or five on 3G, twelve hours of 2G talk time, or five on 3G, 30 hours of music, or 300 hours of standby.
