I was totally upset as a shareholder that they never just called it the 5 and made some tweak to the case given it's been a longer wait than usual. But when you get past that, you do see a pretty substantial change from the 4 to the 4S when all is said and done. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get my first Apple product when it comes out in a couple weeks. So far those media who've tried out Siri have been shocked that it isn't a gimmick and actually works glitch free, so that's another cool thing about it.

Personally I was sure a few days back that the rumors of a 4S were true simply because of the choice of the October 4th date. That spoke volumes, and once the stock started inexplicably dropping under $400, it kinda made sense that something was up. I read one blog that mentioned about the reason why the teardrop shape wasn't adopted was the uneven feel when handled in landscape. I thought about that for a second and was stunned that I never considered that...it's true though, it would make for an odd feeling. I'm sure the 5 will come out by July 2012 though.

I was close a few months ago to going over to the HTC Desire, and more recently the Galaxy S2, but honestly, while I really like the 4" screen size, I'm really not a fan of the clutter of the Android OS. It's not complicated, it's just a little messy whereas the iOS is a single button to open an app. No messing around through folders and such really. I'll likely get this sucker though as initial reviews have been very positive.
