:0) Okay, I might have exaggerated SLIGHTLY. I know it will be faster, etc. Though the camera talk always reminds me of selling trucks by cupholders instead of engines. But I was one of the folka looking forward to a breakthrough technology. Maybe playing with Siri was a bad thing because the update will be better than I think.

George?) letter saying "I'm moving to Apple 4GS"...So not only did they rob me of the cool phone I was expecting but now they take my app away. :o( It IS a great technology, but not reliable enough to buy or run a $200+ phone for.
