Now has a real quote from me--I was misquoted earlier

Also, I found no reference to video chat, backplane cameras or backgrounding--that must be from a source closer to Cupertino.

Wait ... SMS? I could have sworn that my friends with iPhones are able to both send and receive SMS.

Yes, the iPhone support SMS and MMS. I think this is specific to the iPad.

Agreed, Apple's iPhone deployment wasn't the cleverest to begin with (lack of 3G was stupid), however I don't believe Apple would have waited until 3.2 to include SMS. That's like waiting until the 2012 Tesla Roadster to include the brakes.

Simply put no one can be that stupid.

Does anyone know if there is a maximum number of touch points it will accept as multitouch input?

The API has no restriction on the number of touch points Apple could offer, and current hardware caps out at five. I think it's safe to say at least five

Current MacBook/Pro touchpads support 11 in hardware and software (though the regular OS doesn't do much with them).

I would be willing to bet that it's at least 20 in the iPad, since I'm sure Apple envisions at least four-handed games.

One thing about Apple APIs: when they do something, they generally go whole-hog.
