iPhone 4S with iOS 5 Thread

[Quicksilver]

You might be right about the new form factor not being ready. I can't imagine them re-tooling
just to increase the screen size by little and round off the edges. That to me would have been
disappointing and non productive from a production perspective.

Some of your previous post have demonstrated translucent phone bodies
which some of us have seen in movies and on TV and that may be where the future lies.
But i'm sure you would agree that although that would attract a lot of attention it wouldn't
do much good if the hardware and software didn't live up to the exterior design.

I may be wrong and you can correct me if you wish but except for a serious speed
bump and an updated camera, twin antenna's iOS5 should give iPhone 4 users pretty
much everything that was demonstrated which to me means a better phone for "NO MONEY".
It's people like me that have to decide to shell out the dough for the new 4S because the new OS will not work on my iPhone.

Marketing has taken a back seat.
