The new 3G iPod is amazing, but has the problem of the battery life when using the Internet in 3G mode or WiFi being around 4 hours. This is true for all the current generation of 3G phones.
My guess is the 2009 model will have a new 3G chip, that will increase battery life by 30%. Electronista | Infineon unveils HSPA chips ideal for 2009 iPhone
The key point is something like Moores Law is at work, where a semiconductors ability in a year can do the same as today, with a lot less power/increase in power efficiency. Eventually processing power is not going to be important as there is an over abundance of it, but power consumption will be the key issue.
Which would I rather have, an iPhone that is 10% faster, or one that has twice the battery life?
