Apparently 1 in 3 Americans want a device that hasn't been announced yet. I don't recall that poll, but I'm willing to perform due diligence and start one in the Lounge.

Do you want one?



laugh out loud
Do you plan on buying the next iPhone (4S/4GS/5/etc) within the next year?

We still don't even know if this is one is called iPhone 5. I still stand by my opinion that the iPhone 5 is next year and this one is the iPhone 4S

I am kind of torn on this...

All the numbers that are released about Apples are sooooo tough to actually compare. Hardly anyone that actually WANTS an Apple will try anything else because of the status of the device.

On the flip side though, anyone that actually says they would choose a free Android over a free iPhone is just kidding themselves...3/4 of all Androids are packed with bloatware and buggy as all hell. Yes, there are some manufactures that have got that OS right...but it is your gamble to try to find which one...plus once you do, good luck sifting through all those crap for apps they have.

I really wish people would start to actually seriously look at Windows Phone 7. The fact that they are actually making improvements to the OS is refreshing (looking at you, Mr. Outdated, one new feature in the last 3 years iOS)... Especially with the fact that most of the people out there with smartphones (especially if you exclude businessmen) are using it solely to look at maps, find a place to eat and screw around on Facebook...ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL of which are features that you don't need an app to do on WP7 making it WAY faster to actually find what you want and get back to having fun doing it.
We've had our Samsung Focus Windows phone 7 for 3 months now and it's hands down the best I've ever used! Easy, Intuitive, clear voice calls, no dropped calls, updates easily ( no need to get a new (i)phone every 6mos to keep up. Faster OS than either android or iphone And can expand memory to 32gb (already includes 8gb).

Yea I just read that there will be no live stream..well that sucks.

I probably wasn't going to get the new iPhone 5 since I have the 4, but I wanted to see if they talked about new iPods.

Does not compute...

No iPhone 5, because you have an iPhone 4, yet you care about the iPod....? Or you want to hear more about the discontinuing of the iPod Classic or something?

Is it true there will be a "5SD" version? Word on the street is the "Slick Deals" version of the iPhone will feature a "Home" button that blinks whenever a new Front Page item is placed. Double-clicking the Home button automatically orders the item through your Amazon Prime account.

Lord help us all when Iconian is at the controls of the SD mothership Whee
