Fingers crossed for a 7" iTouch...
Indeed (well a 5" would get my cash pretty much instantly, a 7" would need a chat with Mr Visa).
Only thing is, I don't think it would be acceptable for the browser to lack things like Flash and Ajax once we get to these sizes....

Excellent.
On scratching, I can't believe quite how durable the iPhone is after having an early Nano and see the state my other phones get into in my pocket. Having a glass screen is great.

iPod Touch/iPhone already does Ajax (which is a fancy name for one thing you can do with JavaScript)

Ajax? The big selling point of the mobile Safari browser is its really excellent Javascript support.

Quick related question before this thing starts (it's nearly 3:30am here *yawn*). Is it worth getting a jailbroken iPhone that works perfectly except for badly cracked/broken glass (not the LCD screen itself)? Would it cost much to fix (oneself or otherwise)?
The price is around $200AU!

Seems cheap if it can be done.
Seen sites selling new bezels and covers, didn't notice if they sold glass too.

They don't publish it until after the keynote is done. There is no live video stream.

Round about the time everybody and his dog got broadband.
I'm not sure even Apple would want to pay for the sort of
streaming they'd need for a keynote.
