A few interesting tidbits from the live feed:

QUOTE
eBay came out with an iPhone app last year. "We launched the eBay applicaiton on the iPhone last year—10 million downlaods. It did $600 million of volume in its first year. It's going to do $1.5 billion to $2 billion this year."—John Donahoe, eBay CEO

QUOTE
70% of revenue from App Store goes to developers. So how much have they paid developers? Just a few days ago they crossed $1 billion paid to developers.

QUOTE
The point here is that text on the iPhone 4 will be clearer than laser-printed text, because it's 326 pixels per inch.

QUOTE
Because the battery is bigger and because the A4 is so good at power management, the battery life is better. Up to 40 percent more talk time, from 5 hours to 7 hours; 6 hours of 3G browsing; 10 hours of Wi-Fi browsing; 10 hours of video; 40 hours of music; 300 hours of standby.
