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?
Be advised that this is a public poll: other users can see the choice(s) you selected.

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?
laugh out loud I was just wondering if they would talk about upcoming new iPods.

New Apple made app, called Cards. It's a new app that let's you create cards on your phone, and we'll do the rest. We'll print them out, we'll emboss them. You can choose between 21 designs.

"We'll print it out, put the address on it, and mail it. If you mail in the US, we can track it with the US Postal Service barcode, and we'll send you a push notification when it arrives." Will be available Oct. 12 for free.

Apple unveiled new Cards app. $2.99 for anywhere in the US. $4.99 for the rest of the world.

This might actually help out the USPS and their little debt crisis since it is after all...Apple.

Camera -- "We know how popular the camera is on the iPhone, and we make it even easier to use. Now you can get to the camera from the lock screen. You can add grid lines. You can pinch to zoom. You can set the auto exposure and auto focus to lock. You can edit your photos right on your device as well."

Documents, photos, and music get to to use the "cloud" provided by Apple, and available to developers.

There's a daily backup from iCloud too, contacts across all devices, calendar events.

Bye Bye shitty iTunes.

Find my iPhone app allows you to find all your iDevices (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, etc.).

Also Find my Friends allows you to find where your friends are if they allow location sharing with you.

Find my Friends app: "Now when I'm at Disneyland, I can easily see where my family is. Or I can see if my son made it to school today."
