A good review, but surely the primary use of Keynote on an iPhone 4 would be to hook up an HDMI or VGA cable and present (possibly with tweaks). The review focuses almost entirely on editing presentations on an iPhone.
Unfortunately, the reviewer kneecaps the review right off by testing it on an iPhone (3GS) that doesn't support Keynote video out. I very much want to know how my iPhone would perform presenting in HDMI: are transitions jumpy? is the output crisp or are some elements not full resolution? does the high-res output remain faithful to what's shown on the phone itself? can a phone tethered to a cable be used reliably as a control? None of these crucial questions have been answered here.

"On the iPad, the slide navigator has room for eight complete slide thumbnails, compared to barely four on the iPhone, and the iPhone’s thumbnails are smaller."
—Franklin N. Tessler
Hmm, are iPhone thumbnails smaller, or less detailed? And if less detailed, is that iPhone 4 (retina display)?
I'm thinking you wouldn't be holding iPhone as far away as iPad, and the screens might appear about the same at their different distances.
iPad has a 4:3 ratio and so isn't as wide. Perhaps the selected slide has less vertical empty spacing on iPhone (3:2 ratio) than iPad, and the vertical difference in landscape adds to the perception of smallness?
