Since you have this, let me ask a question.
I remember an IBM commercial back then that showed something like what the iphone 4S is doing. It was a mini movie like commercial that showed to investigator cops questioning I believe a person and they had a phone that dam looked like an iphone 4 and it was taking down the dictation in real time, was way so cool but I only saw it once, never been able to find it maybe you saw it.
world phone
they way they talk about the WORLD PHONE in the videos, "and now CDMA customers will be able to use their phone anywhere in the world" Does anyone think that one MIGHT be able to have the GSM/SIM of a Sprint phone be unlocked? I mean, sprint currently doesn't have any capability to enable worldwide roaming with GSM carriers like Verizon does.

Because it is NOT and Android!!
I dealt with the Android OS for over a year and it was painful!!
Just horrid!! Bloatware, software you can't stop, nor delete. Just garbage!!
Good luck with it.. You will need it.
You have to be careful what handset you choose and what flavor of Android you get. It requires you to do research. The Nexus series of phones don't have any third party apps I've always found them to run beautifully.
Really let down about the name, I still think it makes no sense. This is going to throw off naming in a big way and marketing wise is quite negative.
However, phone is exactly what I expected they would announce, going to try to get one through my carrier as soon as it's available.

Same here: since i got my iPad 2, I'm only using my iPhone 3GS to listen to music and (surprise!) make phone calls.
I'll be holding on for my 3GS for a while. Couldn't be bothered less by the faster processor and graphics (if I was a teenager and into gaming, I wouldn't have Apple products anyway), not interested in then Siri gimick, why wouod I want to track my friends, and why would I need an 8Mpix camera if all I do is take snapshots with my phone? If I want to take serious pics while on vacation, for example, I'll bring my 18 Mpix Nikon.
The iPhone 4S is great phone for someone who wants to get his/he first iPhone or smartphone, for that matter, but not a reason to upgrade from any smartphone with an existing contract.
That is entirely subjective and you can't ignore the fact that the 4s will be outspec'd by most upcoming high end android handsets and android ICS is looking to be a very worthy opponent to iOS 5.
There's also the nexus series and rooting, custom roms for (somewhat)advanced users.
I like the new phone. If the name had been iPhone 5 instead of iPhone 4S with all the same specs, it would have been better.
The only other things that I still hope a future phone will have is a teardrop back, GPS, optical zoom (thrilled at f/2.4 though) and a .5" bigger screen with the front button moved or done in software.
That being said, this phone is the best out there, especially since I use iTunes, iWork, and need a point & shoot camera when I don't have the DSLR. I will be getting one, and it will do everything I need a phone to do.
One question, does iMessage work if you are in a foreign country?

The keynote this year has been nothing more than a disappointment for me. I was set on buying it to replace my iPhone 3G, but now I'm not so sure...
It's a gorgeous, incredibly powerful phone. Siri is absolutely ridiculous technology for a consumer device. I don't understand why the fact that it doesn't have a new case somehow ruins this. I have a 4th-gen iPod touch and much prefer the iPhone 4/4S form factor to the tapered design.
Sign me up for the 4S.

For what it's worth, the stock market is generally considered a long term investment vehicle.
3.42 percent is a very slight decline if I use my own Apple stock as an example.
Purchased many years ago, I have enjoyed an increase of 1,998 percent exactly, as of today's closing bell.
Therefore I can easily afford a temporary decline of 3.42 percent and not lose one moment's sleep.
Thank You To All, Who Have Bought Into The Apple Eco System
Never? Never say never. Apple was never going to make an Mp3 player, until they did. They were never going to make a phone, until they did. They were never going to make a tablet, until they did. In other words, never predict what Apple (or ANY tech company) will do. The very nature of the industry necessitates reinvention from time to time.
There were lots and lots of reliable rumors of the delay to fall even before the Japan Earthquake, so that is not the reason for the fall release. Probably more related to Siri and iOS 5 than anything else.

Sell your Apple stock now--you fool!
Don't Need It, I'll Wait
Got a wife, don't need Siri.
Got a canon DSLR, don't need a new camera.
Got an xbox, don't need a faster processor for games.
Keep you're iPhone 4-@$$ apple, I'll keep my 3GS. If you want my cash, better come up with something better before it croaks
