How nice would it be if this were the upcoming iteration of the iPhone. Unfortunately it’s just a mock up. Wishful thinking now: an iPhone with video-chat capabilities (using h.264) and integrated location services in the app would be orgasmic. Even more, with the rumors of a Mac tablet coming up in Q4 or early next year, I’d say it’s a nice time to start buying some AAPL stock.
The eternal arch-rival, Microsoft, seems reluctant to join the smartphone arena with propietary hardware right now. Unless Microsoft has an ace under the sleeve to  start catching up with the Zune, the media player will completely lose the war against the iPod/iPhone leviathans. Maybe Microsoft should better off aim its cannons to the gaming arena, where it has managed to position itself above an industry (and historical) leader like Sony.
