Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 5 will only have dual core processor?
But none the less, I'll still be getting a iPhone for myself, either the 4S or 5 , depending when the 5 arrives here, it has been 3 generations later , so a upgrade is in order

To be fair, I never said anything about Android in my original posts. I was laying down criticisms of a "new" product.

Older apps will still work too, though they'll be displayed in a letterbox format until an update is issued.
I'm pretty sure that applies to only one dimension of the display, it was mentioned in the keynote last night. It's not enough to upset app compatibility.
Anyway, I'm not really fussed about who prefers what, I'm just happy that there's some discussion on PCF again. Never owned an Apple device myself, iPhone 5 will be my first.
And it was ADT who wanted to install Crysis on his 'droid!

To comply with the European Commission's insistence that all smartphones must have a microUSB connector, Apple is putting out a Euro-specific adapter for its new Lightning standard. It's turned up in the UK and French stores so far, setting you back £15 / €19 ($25) -- and we imagine it won't be long before some entrepreneurial soul starts buying them in bulk to sell to microUSB users Stateside.
And then I missed this part somewhere . . .
engadget wrote:While Apple was busy announcing the iPhone 5, it left out mention of whether the device would use the recently approved (and Apple-designed) nano-SIM standard. Sure enough, the leaks were right once more -- Apple is relying on that even tinier subscriber module for GSM, HSPA and LTE networks. The company also makes clear that there's no going back, so you'll have to chuck your earlier micro-SIM card if you've got one. Such is the price of progress.
Its a decent upgrade. I, like the majority, did expect more from Apple but they probably researched the US population to death and found that people just wanted a longer screen, thinner profile and a few software increases. They have delivered a solid phone, not a ground breaking one just a solid one. Now if the Android makers (besides HTC) could just get around to making sexy shells for their phones...
Despite what I said in the Samsung vs Apple thread I am seriously considering getting a iPad. The Android variants just dont stack up in terms of hardware and software.
