I'm watching right now. Haven't started yet. Hoping to hear all that hot news on the Thunderbolt we've been speculating on for a few days/weeks/months now.
 
The CEO of HTC just came out and did his thing. They didn't go over Thunderbolt specs per se, but he let a few things slide.

1. It will have a Super LCD (SLCD) screen.
2. It will have hotspot capabilities for up to 8 other devices.
3. It will have Skype baked into the OS and Sense experience.
4. It will have a Qualcom processor. (He thanked them at the end of his speech.)

No hard list of specs yet.

Edit:
They're taking questions from the crowd now.
-They've said that they're not going to release price points for their devices or the 4G networks.
-Voice and data will be available on some devices but not all.
-No decision on data caps yet. Didn't say "no" but didn't say "yes." Sounded like an "if we need to in the future, then we will" kind of answer.
-When asked about Net Neutrality: "An unfettered development system and free market system" is the best approach.
-Devices WILL have hotspot capabilities, but no comment on tethering capabilities.
