"Steven P. Jobs passed away on Friday, September 9th, 2011"

The pictures were taken by someone who understand the specific advantages of camera system in the 4S. Your typical above average amateur photographer, while he may understand photography, will not be knowledgeable how to get the most from that specific lens system.

Apple is going to solidify their market share with $99 4, and the free 3GS. Apple wants people buying apps, using iCloud, getting "locked in" to iMessage, a few more high end customers is not what they need at the moment.

The "you can talk to me" operator that I hate will be invading my phone? Will there be anyway to just hit 0 a few times to get a real person?

Just one short year later, the Nokia 5120 came on to the scene and completely revolutionized cellular handsets.
