Hmm... I think I'm going to pick up an htc or motorolla in another 6 months or so.

Samsung was a bit of a letdown... they suck on software updates... but still better than the iCrap

Re: iPhone 5/4S

I got some inside contacts via Apple Canada and I can tell you going with the decently upgraded iPhone 4S has caused quite a shake up at Apple HQ. They were really hoping to release the 5G, but given the current market status, a radically new model didn't make sense. A few senior members of Apples team were at odds with the decision. Development was to focus is on iOS5 to make already existing products "better"/ more usable. A new (beta - NUI) has been incorporated into iOS5 making voice recognition for using most parts in the OS possible. It's as simple as that. Money from their sales has gone in large part to building a huge facility in SanFrancisco for iCloud, which was the dream child of Steve Jobs back in the early 1990's.

There are a few more products to be introduced later on in December. I'm eager to see what that might be! There is rumor is an ipad-like device that will come in several sizes. It will be capable of 1080p video and have an enhanced retina display. I have a feeling that his may be the e-ink hybrid Apple engineers have been working on for the past 2 or so years. When view B&W info the device switches to a low power layer on the display, then when colour is introduced it switches to the retina display. I don't think any 3D is expected.... 3D on phones is largely a GIMMICK! and there is not a single unified standard of format. Until this happens I think Apple will stay out.
