Not writing up iPhone predictions for tomorrow except to say that despite hardware leaks, new iOS software apps will surprise and delight.

And I put on my special slippers and just got comfortable to read what your predictions were this time. Welp, see you at the show tomorrow, then. :)
- Josh Haley
Can you give us specifics yet? Not able to really watch a reasonable live-stream so I'm not sure what they're announcing...
- Steve and 4 other people
Steve: They announced the iPhone 5 (4" screen, thinner, all glass/aluminium, new processor, new camera with panorama, LTE, new connector, 1 more microphone, 64 gigs, better speakers ) and iOS 6 and a bunch of new iPods.
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Yeah, but it seemed like Kevin was hinting at some specific iOS6 feature(s) that he was excited about.
- Steve and 4 other people
Ah, I see. Yeah, Kevin what did you have in mind about surprise and delight?

Judging by this Paypal email, Rachel just bought a boat.

It's not a boat, just the steering wheel silly! If I got a whole pirate ship for that amount I would be really impressed!

Don't believer her, Kevin. She got that price by extorting the pirates! Notice who was first in this thread to mention "pirate ship", hmm?

Someone should create an aggregator with a "best of week" feature so that people don't need to ask questions like this :-). In other news, I've accepted a software engineering position at Google.

Although i guess you could change the seven to a 14 for a two week "best of" :) https://friendfeed.com/summary...

Apple announced they they were dumping their phones for Android, since as they say, they are basically the same phone anyway.

Oh, I got a new gig, too, teaching a section at the local university. I thought you'd probably want to know that.

I believe that the iPhone data that Anonymous leaked wasn't acquired from an FBI computer, but its Blue Toad source doesn't preclude this.

Android makers think 'How can we get this feature in there?' Apple thinks 'Can we do without this feature?' Reminds me of old Google.

After trying the iPhone in France this year, I can't imagine why anyone would pick the iPhone over Android. Turn by turn navigation alone is worth the price of admission into the Android Army.
- Piaw Na
I don't think turn by turn nav is high on most people's priority list when looking for a smartphone.
- ronin
As for me, turn by turn nav is one reason I would not switch to an iPhone, ronin.
- Friar Ticket to Ride
I don't even turn Location Services on. Any kind of nav is a non-issue for me.
- Tinfoil 2.0
Turn by turn nav is a relatively small issue for me; I don't drive. It's nice every once in a while.

Kevin, are there specific features you wish Android had removed?
- Bruce Lewis
Bah, one person's "bloat" is another's "essential feature".
- Tyson Key
I agree with Tyson. As much as I like using simple systems, I more dislike using simple systems that don't do what I want.
- Amit Patel
Android still has no support for Cisco IPSec VPN. e.g I can remote control my work desktop from my iPhone and iPad. I have to use IOS.

CBS News, citing a tweet from an unverified account, reports his wife says it's not true: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-50... Also, Johnny told Christina during lunch that Bobby was totally into Jenny but Jenny doesn't like him back so Tommy told Christina to tell Johnny that he shouldn't tell Bobby to ask Jenny to the prom.

"I don't have a use for it, but the price was right." My feeling is that price sensitivity makes or breaks Kickstarter projects.
I first thought the Galaxy Note was absurdly large. Then I saw a photo on it and my opinion changed. I prefer iOS, but it's really nice.
