I watched the keynote today and yes, there are improvements internally which is great for gamers and others who need the extra boost, speed, and ram. Cameras? Big deal. Appears to be the same as the ones in my Ipod Touch, so no sale there. They glossed over iBooks but did say it now contains thousands of ebooks. I forget the exact number. 65,000 iPad apps, wow! The 3G models will be either AT&T or Verizon. I think you have to choose which one you want when you purchase it so no changing your mind later on. And then there's two colors to choose from, black or white. Nix on the white! I hated the white frame on the Kindle! Black bezel makes for a much better experience for your eyes. Afterall, who has a white framed TV? Ah,... nobody!
