Wonder what they're going to announce in the iPhone 5. Better battery life and perhaps a better GPS is all I really want over my iPhone 4.
I don't expect it to be announced here, but a full touchscreen would be nice... one without a physical button.

I'm pretty sure they're going dual-core processor as well (like the iPad 2).

I hear this a lot. Why do you want a full touchscreen?
I disagree only b/c this creates accessibility problems for some users.

#14wow, that's just evil. TELUS (phone company here) has been running ads in really heavy rotation pushing the tagline "there's never been a better time to buy an iphone 4", and stating "offer ends october 4th".

#15Seriously, look at the design of the invite. Calendar says Tuesday (October) 4th. Clock says 10am. Map app says this will take place at 1 Infinite Loop. And the Phone icon makes it clear this will be an iPhone event (rather than an iPod Touch / iOS event), with one unread notification alerting you that there is something you must pay attention to. They say everything in 4 icons. So awesome.
To be fair, the GMaps icon always displays 1 Infinite Loop. Still, great catch.

Capacitive buttons create accessibility and usability problems for all users. They look great in demos and quick previews. They're crap for use.

Improved camera would be nice.
Interesting. I have heard from so many friends that current iPhone camera is about as good as it can get. Curious what you are expecting more - just bumped up mega pixels? Not sure how much that would matter - going from 5MP to 8MP for e.g.

Oh man, how many times I hit "back" when I meant "menu" on my android phone.

Apple is helping with long fingernails, I'm hoping the iPhone 5 will have something that discourages high heels.

#20What could the badge on the phone icon indicate? That's the biggest puzzle...
