You see something in everything
Something Android has had for years and still has.
Why downvote something that's factually accurate?

Unfortunately android's iteration overheats your phone and causes random reboots....
You need a hobby.
Would it have been too difficult for them to put a 5 on the phone icon instead of a one. Now we have to wonder what the one means.
All the icons are pretty clear except for the badge on the 'Phone' icon:
Calendar = date
Clock = time
Map ≠ Turn by Turn, Map = Place (Infinite Loop, Cupertino)
Phone = New iPhone
Badge = 1 New iPhone?

Good for Android now all Google has to do is make a stable OS and Android will be on par with iOS
The date (October 4) clearly indicates that the announcement is for iPhone 4s
HOWEVER the Octo in October suggests that they're releasing EIGHT new models!
+1
But I also hope it won't be completely about iphones. I'm overdue for an ipod! Still using 1gen nano, and waiting to see what's next! Love to hear about mac pro's with thunderbolt too!
Love of the icons, and here's my own spec on that phone badge; since it is about notification, and since the other icons are all used to their functions (clock shows exact time, date shows day and date like the app suppose to...) I'm thinking the phone app is using what the badge means to convey a message/pun intended.
So doesn't phone app get a badge when there is a miss call, or voicemail? So using a metaphor of a missed call/voicemail badge ... but what could that mean? You missed a call from Apple??? Somehow that doesn't seem right... but someone clever here could possible relate the notification of a miss call/voicemail to something better?

Oh we're all about to go bananas here, eh?
Ok boys & girls, now it's time to make 1,000 threads about the same pontificating BS we've already been discussing. Only this time, preface it with, "Now that we know the date of the announcement..."
So much preemptive palm in my preemptive face.
