I've always been impressed with the image quality of the iPhone 4 camera, and f 2.4 aperature is very impressive for a phone. too bad Android hardware is too fragmented for an arms race in lenses. well, I guess they have 3D. :so:

I know diddly squat about cameras, but my wife (who has done pro work in the past) says she's highly impressed with the shots we've created with the Samsung Charge (a Droid phone). It is highly programmable.

My friend has an EVO 3D, and he showed me a few of the pictures he had taken around the WDW parks. I was pretty impressed with how they popped, although you did have to hold it at the right angle to see it well. The picture seemed pretty darn sharp for the "source."

Resident camera guru; what is f/2.4? I have no clue what that camera garbage is.

Big pupil that gathers a lot more light faster, so when you take a picture in your living room at night under one 75w bulb, nobody will scold you for missing a great Kodak moment because all you had ready was a shitty camera-phone. :)

I can't say that I get the instant backlash that this announcement has incurred. I just caught a glimpse of the front page of the Denver Post, and their headline is basically a wall of tweets (yay for contemporary journalism!) shittingonthe 4S. The most celebrated phone of it's kind just got spec bumped in nearly every meaningful way, and people are pissed?

I don't want a bigger screen. My phone is my phone and my tablet is my tablet. Let competitors sell 7" tablets and 5" phones. Give me some differentiation, and a phone that fits in my pocket without dressing like a
juggalo.

Apple has settled into a pattern with the iPhone. Starting with the 3G, they made a major revision and then followed it with an incremental update that refined the entire device and UX. They seem now to have done the same with the iPhone 4/4S. I know some people really want to get their hands on the next leap forward from Apple, but for my money (all $300-$400 of it) I'd rather be on this side of the cycle.

Apple didn't manage the message very well this time around. With so many iPhone5 rumors floating around, people were bound to be disappointed by anything that wasn't as mystical and magical as they'd expected. Plus, the "whatever Steve Jobs says" crowd is a bit more apt to be critical now. Even if they'd announced the model name without specs a few months ago, expectations would have been more in line with what came out.

No shit...can't wait to dump my 9530. The GPS sucks ass and the Facebook app won't update itself.

I wish 64Gb was big enough to carry my music.

I couldn't even fit my music collection on the current 160Gb click-wheel iPod.
