The big Zapruder: Jacks, Connectors and waking the iPhone from Sleep
Are you caught at work? Unable to spend 25 minutes watching Apple's guided tour video? TUAW to the rescue! Here's our first annotated gallery of shots from the guided tour video for you to peruse as you concentrate on getting the real work in your life done on time. We'll continue adding updates this as our expert video analysts break the guided tour down into little pieces.
Gallery: The Big Zapruder #1
Ringer silence switch. A single button on the left side of the iPhone appears to allow you to silence your iPhone ringer.
Sleeping the iPhone. Press the sleep/wake button to sleep your phone. While sleeping, you can receive calls, listen to music, and adjust the volume but nothing happens when you touch the screen.
Waking the phone. To wake up your iPhone you must first press the sleep/wake button and only then slide the virtual unlock slider on the screen.
Home button. The home button at the bottom front of the iPhone takes you back to the home screen. From what we've seen on other videos, it also acts as a "back" or "menu" button depending on the context used.
iPod connector. The iPod dock connector appears at the bottom of the iPhone between the built-in microphone and the speaker. It looks like a standard dock connector which means that if true, you'll be able to use your existing dock to at least power the iPhone.
Powering off. Press and hold the sleep/wake button for "a few seconds" to power down the iPhone and then drag the red slider to confirm.

Um, you missed the arrow on the SIM tray? What's with all the "Zapruder" anyway? You're wearing it out. "back.....and to the left"

But most importantly...
The SIM holder between the headphone connector and the power button!

I would like to say that the "watermark" from the iPhone that was pointed out in the last few days is more likely a signature than a watermark.

Ehm... just asking... I'm not from the States so maybe that's why... who or what is this Zapruder?

Notice near the beginning that the toolbar at the bottom of the screen slides up from offscreen. I wonder if this means we can hide somehow. Here's a sequence of screen captures:

Or just watch the beginning of the video closely.

Zapruder was the name of the man who filmed President Kennedy's assassination. It is considered probably one of the most famous films in US history, and has been analyzed frame by frame by innumerable conspiracy nuts.

Man oh man, just think of how many iPhone stories will be on TUAW *once the damn thing is actually out!!!!!* Currently 8 of the 15 stories on the front page are iPhone-related.
Staff--any plans to start The Unofficial iPhone Weblog? I mean, I think it's a great device, but I don't need "Norad detects FedEx plane full of iPhones heading to San Diego" stories every 5 minutes.

Most of the notes in this post have been covered if you've seen the Macworld keynote on Apple's Web site, or poked around apple/iphone for any length of time. Except for the powering off feature. That one's new to the 25-minute guide.
Other newbies (I caught) are: deleting e-mails, contacts, voicemails and SMS by swiping to the right and confirming;
opening (but maybe not editing?) .doc and .pdfs (I bet you my hat this has everything to do with Leopard's QuickView technology, and you can't edit Word Documents of PDFs... Shame);
Airplane mode! Go into settings and slide Airplane Mode on, and you're transmissions are terminated. A little orange airplane icon replaces the AT&T bars;
Confirmed (visually) typing with two thumbs as opposed to one index finger (although the guide guy, "Bob," suggests you crawl before you walk);
Rearranging the bottom buttons IN IPOD MODE (i.e., swap out artists for playlists, videos for podcasts, etc. This level of customizability blew me away);
Tapping Google Maps with two fingers zooms out (AWESOME!);
and Google Maps app offers turn-by-turn directions from bookmarkable start positions to your destination (click the next arround, map moves and directions change. Great for driving)!
That's not all, but I wanted to be the first to post them, so I'm hurrying! I'm VERY excited about this phone now.

does the SIM holder mean that you can use an iPhone on a network besides AT&T?

1. + 2. I thought that was a SIM card tray as well, but after thinking about it, I couldn't understand why it would have an LED next to it.
I remembered my dad's iPod Shuffle (first gen.) that had an almost identical indicator, that, when pressed, glowed green or orange to indicate its charge. I believe that's what the alleged SIM card holder is: http://www.girr.org/mac_stuff/ipod_shuffle_back.jpg (via Google Images)
I would imagine the SIM card and the battery are hidden behind the silver backing above the black piece. I'm assuming that you'll be able to remove the silver part (but not the back piece connecting directly to the 'iPod port,' speaker and microphone) which would allow the SIM card and battery to be removed. It will also allow for easier tech support for Apple Genii or AT&T employee. I don't see any valid reason why Apple should prevent you from opening this. People will hack into the iPhone regardless, and you have to buy a contract with AT&T anyway, so I doubt people will overwhelmingly swap SIM cards. We'll see…

I don't think that is an LED beside the SIM card tray. If Apple is true to form, that is a tiny hole just big enough for a straightened paper clip. Push the paper clip into the hole to eject the sim card.

@9. Of course this is all speculation, but I'm betting that "LED" is actually a hole that works as a release switch for the SIM tray (remember the old CD tray emergency release holes?). I think if it was a battery indicator (or any other consumer feature) it would be marked in the video, but since it's the only thing on the phone that isn't marked or mentioned in the video, I'm betting it is not for cunsumer use, and therefor is probably a SIM tray.
Again, this is all speculation.

I'm going to go for it and say that the Notes application will have full Word and PDF support.

The movie is GREAT! But why are they not showing anything about the calender app??

The AT&T rep at my local store said that the "iPhone Features Plan is $39.99 plus whatever voice plan you choose."

So why is it they neglected to mention the SIM tray in the video? Also, why is there no demo of the Calendar application? Isn't this an important feature? Even Steve Jobs who mentioned during the keynote that he was going to demo the calendar app totally forgot to mention this? Or did he? Is there anyone who can say summin on this?

Scott Forstall revealed in the WWDC Keynote that it's also possible to wake the iPhone from sleep by simply pressing the Home button. It's nice having a choice!
