it’s probably safe to start shorting it. Jobs is not only gone, but I think he’s been sucking up to Obama. This is understood to be the kiss of death.
Whelming. Not over, nor under. Just plain whelming.
Anyone have any insight on when the iPhone 5 will come out. I’ve been waiting patiently on Sprint for an iPhone, and when they finally get it, I have to decide whether to get a phone that is only a slight upgrade, or wait a little longer for the iPhone 5. I’m thinking we’re looking at next June for the 5, but that’s just a guess. Where did all these thin phone cases come from if it’s not imminent?
I’m trying to figure out how the announced “4S” is different from what people expected from a supposed “5” model?
Dramatically faster CPU? Check.
Dramatically faster graphics? Check.
Dramatically improved camera? Check.
No loss in battery life? Check, I think.
Kick-a** new feature? Check, Siri.
CMDA/GSM integration? Check.
The only things that come to mind that the 4S doesn’t include that a “5” would have is:
* Different form factor.
* 4G network support. (No guarantee a “5” would have had this anyway)
So mark me down as thinking that the “disappointment” is over-reaction. I like the 4S and I hope to upgrade to one soon.
bummer was looking forward to buying 5. :(
What they introduced was very nice.
iPhone 4S - expected, same kind of improvement of 3GS over 3G.
iOS 5 - nothing new. Looks great, Oct. 12 please get here already.
Cards app - very nice, pleasant surprise, makes me wonder what Apple _really_ has in mind for this, not prior being in competition with Hallmark.
Siri - sounds great, shades of Newton: awesome futuristic newness, we’ll see how it really works out. Seems damnyousiri.com has already been registered for that reason.
Nano - nice improvements.
Touch - broke the $200 barrier. iOS 5 on it is great - auto-syncing the 8GB version is big for me.
Overall spiffy stuff, yet lacked the *BANG* expected. “Let’s talk iPhones” implied more than just one new phone, although Siri brings “talk to the phone” to a new level.
Nice stuff. Now when can we have the new iPhone 5 and iPad 3?
I lead today that in Asia Apper wirr be big!
