Where have you got the 12th September from?

Did they pick that date because of the big Wii U conference on the 13th? Kind of a way to counter the Wii U.


I doubt Apple cares about the Wii U.

If you want to ship your product before the holiday shopping season, you announce it in September. Simple as that.

Well I was lined up to replace my iphone4.0 with this but the new Nokia 920 has me at the moment. I can't see iPhone 5 bettering it.

Plus the inevitable explosion in windows 8 tablets (will def overtake ipads i think) means I may go that way soon to replace the iPad2 and having a mobile phone to match seems sensible.


The market reacted negatively to the new Nokia phone. It doesn't seem that impressive tbh.

And yeah, Windows 8 tablets will be a game changer



I'm somewhat interested in iPhone 5. Considering an upgrade from my lumia 710 on either the iPhone 5 or lumia 920. Ios seems to get all the cool apps, wp7 marketplace hardly ever gets the cool shit :(



Not really that interested in this.. Like most new iterations of apple products it will probably just have a bigger screen, be bit thinner, a retina display, a slightly better camera and some other new pieces of software which are nothing new.

What does everyone else think?

Windows 8 marketplace will be huge very quickly. Tablets will drive it. 


Will the phone and tablet use the same Win8 Marketplace? I love the WP interface, just hate that im left out from all the big app and game releases.
