The big difference with this "smidge" is battery life. But in any case, from what I've read, the 3G version won't be ready until early 2008, which gives the other guys (e.g., Samsung, Moto, LG, etc.) plenty of time to come up with a good competitor and it will already have 3G capabilities (since carriers are demanding this from the handset makers now). The big question will be: "Is the 3G iPhone late to the party?"
