#15Earlier quoted context omitted.
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the speed bump. I believe everyone is underestimating just how fast the A5 is going to make this phone.
How does it impact battery life? To be honest I find the existing generation fast enough (and while I do enjoy gaming on my ipod touch 4g, I find 3d graphics completely overkill) but really the battery life is what's abysmal...
Good question. The results in mobile devices seems to be counter-intuitive, to me. A faster processor often means that, according to usage patterns, the work gets done faster and the machine can go into one of the many power-saving states more quickly, leading to better battery life. That probably varies by what you're trying to do, but for a smart phone the sooner it's done and back in your pocket, the better.

#17Any word on when the real iphone5 will arrive? The 4S seems like a rather pitiful flagship by apple standards.
2 year release cycles - you've got 12 months to sit tight my friend.
in consolation the iPad 3 (the real successor to the iPad) should be out within 6m.

#19"And iPhone 4S is a world phone, so you can use it almost anywhere. Whether you’re a GSM or CDMA customer, you can roam GSM networks in 200 countries around the world."
The term 'roam' is throwing me off there, does that mean you can't swap in your own sim card? That you have to use the roaming feature on whatever your current carrier is?

Most likely. Most iPhones are sold locked to a specific carrier. Only recently (this summer) were you even able to buy unlocked ones inside the US.
