@ibz just remembered that I forgot some “hardware” feature and that will be the new 3 M camera. The autofocus looks nice but I will rely on my Canon EOS 450D for pictures . Maybe at the first price drop I’ll buy one, just to test my apps.

This is exactly what I was saying right after the WWDC announcement.
No, the “upgrade” is not worth it. Unless you really want to test your apps on this device. But I think for simple apps they should work just fine anyway.
But it’s yet another thing that will bring AAPL huge $$, because all the fanboys out there will want to have the latest and greatest. That’s it. We live in a consumer economy, where fashion is put before actual need.

project managers don’t know how to code but I’ll start sketching some wire-frames with the iphone stencil kit, just to be ready when I meet the smart-ass developer.
sorry for trolling your blog. I’m @webmyc on Twitter

“so I don’t actually need it but I can justify getting it by the fact that i started to develop iPhone applications and need it for testing” – just reading between the lines )
