yes i agree with Constable Odo, but i think i am going to still buy the 3g model because it just looks really sick and also it is coming to Canada :)

Please face reality. Unless SJ was sicker than we think, do you honestly think he would have left that feature out of the announcement. Let’s face it, it appears that the world will have to wait for a front-facing camera until the next version iPhone is released. Personally, I don’t that we’ll have that long a wait. I’m betting this first iPhone 3G is a basic transition model. Look for a Pro model before Christmas. I’m allowed to dream, aren’t I.

If you watch the HD version of this video from Apple’s site, you can see this looks more like an oily finger smudge than a camera. And that would explain why this ‘camera’ appeared mid-way in the demo, and subsequently disappears from the iPhone as Phil continues to demo Mobile Me.

No, it’s the ambient light sensor…

Maybe I have no imagination but I certainly can’t think of any reason Apple would keep such a feature secret during their *launch* of the product. I’m guessing sensor as well.
