Jason Chen of Gizmodo has posted a 1 minute, 30 second guided tour of the iPhone.
The video, as well as additional newly available information, mentions several newly revealed features including:
- Confirmed in-line viewer for PDFs, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel docs in email. Microsoft complained about lack of support before. This is a huge deal, even if it is read-only.
- Turning off the phone requires you to slide your finger across the top (like unlocking it) to confirm.
- You can rewind voicemail like a sound file.
- You can finger-scroll through contacts using the alphabet on the right.
- The special iPhone headphones have volume and call control.
- IMAP/POP support confirmed
- Typing with two thumbs actually looks manageable
- Limited amount of ringtones can be selected from the settings menu. Doesn't look like songs can be used.
- Confirmed turn by turn directions and up-to-date traffic info for Google maps.
