The rigging that they had, im assuming, hand built for the phone was impressive and the dads train layout, while, again, beautiful in the final film, didn't really do it justice as to its size! You briefly see it when they are looking out through the garden shed window And seeing the girl editing it on the phone - again highly impressive!! Not being an iPhile myself i can still see the attractiveness of the iPhone4 and arguing the pros and cons of the iPhone with a highly educated lecturer in Digital Media and all things Apple would be, lets face it, a massive error on my behalf so let me just conclude by saying that i think the right technology in the right hands can wield some really impressive results!

There are perhaps too many issues that have been reported with the phone already. Issues that make me worry a little about Apple itself (traditionally not the company who rush out products before they're are ready). Ranging from the serious complaint with the antenna, as pointed out above, to the equally serious complaint of the discolouration of some screens ( http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-20008666-37.html ) The new screens being one of the major improvements of this model. Another quabble seems to be the frailty of the device. Reports have said that it is possible to shatter the screen with a drop from one foot. Leading skeptics to suggest that Apple would like to sell some extra cases - which is conveniently also supposed to help with the antenna issue. To be honest, I'm sure these problems will all be addressed in time - evidently Apple have already released a statement confirming that there will be a 'magic' patch to fix the reception issues, so you can hold your phone how you like. More importantly it means that the issue isn't a hardware problem. Fancy that. http://www.topbuzznews.net/938/iphone-4g-problems-come-from-a-mathematical-error/ This looks really impressive, and makes me really want one.
