And its rumored to have a matte finish on the back

So who knows. Is it enough? Hard to say. 3.2 is pretty low. Sure it might have video recording but still pretty low. We will have to see where it goes.

Apple used to base iphone's success on its interface, itunes/ipod and then also the apps. The problem is the interface won't be an apple-exclusive with other phones with multi-touch and easy UI coming to the market. The iPod is a great app but that won't make most people buy it instead of another smartphone. What's left is the app store. Apple is probably going to invest a lot on mobile OS development, work with partners and etc and that way people will buy the iphone because of the apps available. The iphone won't be the phone with the best cam, more memory and etc, but it will have the most apps, probably the best mobile apps on the market and a very easy way of getting them. It will be a funny thing if this happens because the iphone will have dominance because of the number of apps and not the quality/features of the OS, it'll be like the iphone OS is becoming the windows OS of the mobile market. LOL
I have an iphone 3g and I would only consider maybe the Pre to be my phone but that depends on the apps available and how the phone performs and if it works well with Mac OS.

The iphone did not introduce new technology when it was revealed. What made it so popular where the interface, the itunes to capture existing users and the apps. Same with a videogame machine. Not the best hardware wins, but the one with the most/best software titles.
So that will be the strong points of the iphone and I have to admit it is a good strategy.

Dominance because apple jumped from a share of 2.7 to 8.2 in one year and it did it with ONE model and NOT a cheap one. Plus the development for iphone OS is huge and it's still growing. The other companies hasn't release a phone that got the same 'attention' and 'mindshare' of the iphone yet, so apple's share of the market will likely continue to grow. You have to put things in perspective when analysing data like that.

The novelty of the UI of the Iphone will wear off after this 'new' Iphone. It will sell but not as much as the 2 previous iterations. After this I see the Iphone being just another phone among many. Apple did extremely well in coming up with such a wonderful touch UI but that's where it ends after the release of the upcoming rendition.
