RE: iPhone 5

Apple UK store is down.

(PITA as I wanted to get some iPad specs info just now.)

RE: iPhone 5

Its only £29 more than I paid for my 4 two years ago.  I assume the £29 pays for the half decent headphones?  The S3 is £500 off contract too, so don't think this is out of the ordinary.  Can't afford one out right at the mo, but may investigate some contract deals.

RE: iPhone 5

My I pod touch is only a year old and thanks to its otter box has been really well protected so Im in no rush to change that.

Im surprised they have changed the nano if I was a youth I would have got one for sure. I think the watch strap thing worked really well reminded me of my old pop swatch!!!

RE: iPhone 5

With the exception of the black one, the new Nano looks pretty out of character for Apple.  Will reserve judgement until I have seen one in the metal, but looks a bit iffy to me...

Zzzzzzzzzzzz.

What's happened to Apple's design team?  I could've knocked that up in ten minutes in Photoshop.

Wait for it.... Apparently, the new £25 Apple EarPods' "audio quality is so superior, they rival high-end headphones that cost hundreds of dollars more"!

Agreed. I found this launch almost as underwhelming as the 4S. I like the new iPod Nano. Its built in Nike+ support means my OH can finally sell her iPhone 4S for Android!  good job

Now that's a very interesting claim!  Smile

Non-conventional designs usually don't suit all ears. We'll see when it launches.

Agreed John.

I was hoping for a more marked change in design, as from the 3gs to the i4.

Still, I suppose there are only so many ways to change a 'rectangle with buttons' Smile

Think I'll wait for the 6.
