I love the way apple blow smoke up it's arse though. All they've done is put a better screen on it and new processor. Hardly "redefining" a product is it?

(I'm an apple fan so don't think I'm a hater)

Better Screen, Processor, Graphics, Bluetooth, Wireless (granted not really useable in the UK yet), Camera.

I do agree they big things up but I think that is just marketing in general. Any new device that comes out is always "a game changer"

A lot of companies do that - VW for example :evilgrin:

I use FaceTime a lot, both at work and at home, so the improvements to the camera mean I'll be getting one. Trade-in (and being able to buy it ex-VAT) means I'll only pay £75 for the upgrade.

Other than that I think the screen will look beautiful.

Ive sent a message to a friend that works on a USAF base to see if he can get me one. Currency conversion works out quite favourably at the moment.  :happy2:

Think you'd get a 'new pad' 32GB for about £386 or 16GB for £321 with the current exchange rate - I'm off to NY in June, decisions, decisions.............. :evilgrin:

Its well over $100 (in material parts only), not taking into account research, development, manufacturing, support etc etc etc

I love it when people come out with this complete and absolute bullsh*t though.
