In the news: Psych! Tuesday's new iPhone bow was anything but a wow. Despite months of

The "new" iPhone4S allegedly offers faster download speeds, an 8 mp camera (which pretty much spells an end to the pocket point-and-shoot digital camera era), 1080 HD Video, more storage and voice command technology ("talking instead of typing")—however, it makes no momentous strides against the quickly growing field of comparable Google Android competitors.

Already, 42% of the smartphone market utilizes Android, to Apple's 27%, thanks to prices much lower than the iPhone's steep $199-$399 price point. Many of its competitors also offer a 4+-inch screen, compared with iPhone's 3.5 incher.
Despite the overall disappointment with Tuesday's announcement, the company sold 22 million units for the quarter ending in September and is expected to sell 25 million more by year-end. My Verizon Wireless two-year contract is up for renewal in November. Will I finally make the move to an iPhone? In all likelihood, you betcha.
