well it's not like they released the iphone 4 directly after the iphone 3
i don't know why everyone was getting carried away with the iphone 5
i think this is just as much of an improvement as the iphone 3g/3gs revisions
Actually, the iPhone 4 was more a speed upgrade on the 3GS than anything else. Similar processors and the software didn't see any truly groundbreaking changes (like the new iOS version does).
Well that's what I'm saying, what were people expecting out of this? Just a new design for the sake of looking different?
I have to say, I wasn't blown away at first but after watching some of their videos and reading more about it I can't wait until next Friday when I pick mine up from Covent Garden :)

But Winston, your comments about how Android has already had all of these features are moot. If you want to look at it like that then Nokia and RIM have pretty much EVERYONE beat on who had what first. The difference is how good are they? Did the manufacturer really integrate them into the platform or just throw them out there? Are the features being used by developers to make really awesome applications to add value to a platform (this only became a concern since the iPhone and Android platforms)?
Exactly, just because something has been around for years doesn't mean it hasn't been completely shit for years, you used to have to read Alice in Wonderland to your PC and even then it still didn't understand what you were saying 90% of the time.
What other device does this?

We tried to psych it out with a bunch of random requests, including the history of Chester, Vermont (a lovely town) and the best Ramen places in San Francisco. Siri never faltered, never missed a beat. It worked as well as Scott's demo up on the stage. There's nothing better to say than that. We even sent ourselves a few text messages, which Siri transcribed to a T. Of course, the lady on the other end still sounds eerily robotic, but we're hoping for smoother responses from the alien within in a future update.
and remember this is still in beta, it's not even finished yet...
