i do belive the iphone is lower dpi as the GTA02 is smaller in size, but 
higher in rez.

that is probably just the heat sensitive screen and some code that basically 
locks out input ones a heat source with a surface area larger then a couple 
of fingers are detected...

while the iphone got a update in the bluetooth area (i dont think the first 
one was EDR) im not sure about what profiles the iphone will support. i dont 
recall reading that it supports AD2P for starters, and i wonder about any 
chance of tethering so that it can be used as a "modem" for laptops and 
similar.
