    Yes, in the last few minutes, it keeps timing out for me. Lots of people watching this boring Apple love fest.

    I'm tapping out. This is just too boring.
    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

      Okay, now that the phone is announced, I'm back. Apple iPhone 4GS is official. A5 dual core processor. Still no 4G, which, frankly, is embarrassing.

      8 MP camera.
      World phone.

          Claimed 14 mpbs down (theoretical). LTE has actually shown 30 down (though probably not typical).

          I think apple is just buying time until the LTE iPhone is ready.

            They're demoing Siri, a more advanced voice recognition program. They asked her what's a good greek restaurant in Palo Alto and she responded with the place I'm getting food from today, Evvia. I wonder if she's as big a fan of their lamb loukinaki as I am.

              I've always been skeptical of voice control, because it never seems to work right. But what they're showing in the demo seems pretty impressive.

                  I agree, I've tried a couple and haven't been hooked. If this works as advertised, I'd definitely use it, especially the maps/restaurants/location stuff.

                          So, any chance Apple releases the iphone 5 w/ LTE any sooner than 1 year from now? If not, then they will be 3 years late to the 4G game. That is unacceptable. If the iPhone is the premier smartphone, it must have premier data.

                          Ted? What's the hold up?

                                No question, this is a better phone than just the regular 4...but I am not entirely impressed. It has been 16 months since the release of the regular 4 and the updates, while nice, seem inadequate for having that much time. I wonder if they thought they could get a few more things - bigger screen, better data, etc. but realized that it was not quite ready and came out with the iphone 4s.
