Next Generation iPhone: 7.2Mbit, Video Camera, More?
Last week some more details about the next iPhone revision continued leaking out.
First, there were spottings of new Apple device IDs found embedded within the iPhone 3.0 firmware. Silicon Alley Insider then claimed that the next iPhone would come with "much faster internet". Finally, AppleInsider said that the new iPhone would indeed have a video camera, supporting evidence of video publishing screenshots also found in iPhone 3.0.
It's not surprising that the number of leaks is increasing as Apple does have to keep their carrier partners at least somewhat informed heading into a new release. We've also continued to hear unconfirmed whispers and have specifically heard that the new iPhone with support a 7.2Mbit chipset.
Another interesting possibility is that Apple may have settled on the Marvell PXA168 ARM chip as the heart of a future device. Some unconfirmed claims point to Apple buying up supplies of this chip which is reportedly also due in the July timeframe. The Marvell PXA168 CPU was announced in January of this year and aims to provide "entry-level laptop" capabilities to consumer electronic devices.

Although there will be other improvements, I think "video recording" will somehow become the basis for this iPhone's name, just as 3G was the defining characteristic of the last one.
I don't know what they'll call it, but that's the feature they'll show on TV.

I wouldn't think adding that feature would be worthy of the name and tv spots, I think they will drop the 3G off the name.

For me, faster processor and more RAM are paramount. For a lot of people, it's storage and gimmicks (video recording).
If the iPhone has "n" built in for wifi (unlike b/g) then it'll be a few years until I need that so I might skip it.
HSPDA would be something I would buy - more portable internet speed.

I think they have to pick one feature to push. That's how you get headlines. Like how Leopard was all about 'Time Machine' even though there were hundreds of other changes. Obviously a better battery and more RAM would be the best improvement for an iPhone, but that's not sexy enough to advertise.
So whatever they pick, it will be ONE big thing they talk about more than anything else. I'm just guessing, but I think video-recording will be it.
But as other posters have shown, what the actual name will be is tricky. I can't come up with anything either.
EDIT: I could also see the 'push' feature making a great ad, but the problem is that it's a software update. Any ads they pay for will be pushing hardware sales, not free software downloads.
