I am a self confessed geek. Note, not a nerd - a geek! And for some reason (maybe it's all of the technology blogs I've been following lately on Twitter) I am ridiculously excited about today's announcement from Apple about iOS 5 and the next generation iPhone.
Like many others, I would be quite disappointed if Apple confirmed the very latest rumors and only announced the arrival of an iPhone 4S as the iPhone 5 is so anticipated with the "loss of the prototype in a bar" incident.
Do I sound skeptical about that??? I can't think why I would be. Except maybe that it happened two years in a row with almost exactly the same scenario occurring, and apparently the security footage is "missing". Oh hell no - me skeptical? Hardly. But I digress.
Today (or yesterday as it's after midnight on this side of the world now) is the day of Apple's "Let's Talk iPhone" event and how much of a geek does it make me that I've set a reminder on my calendar to check Twitter and a couple of blogs when I'm near the wi-fi at lunchtime (10.00am Oct 4 Cupertino time) so I can catch up with the announcement details. I sure hope someone's gonna be in there tweeting their little thumbs off because I'm only gonna have a window of about 20 minutes with the wi-fi!!! I really am SUCH a geek!
The sad thing is that I won't even be able to post this until it's all over (I think) but I'm in such a state of anticipation that I just had to get it out of my system!
Not that it's the new model iPhone that I'm looking forward to even. I really just want iOS 5. I can do without the new model, just gimme the software upgrade & make it snappy (if you don't mind Mr Jobs). There are some pretty cool sounding toys in there, full Twitter integration, voice control that may or may not have been designed in conjunction with Nuance (the Dragon Naturally Speaking etc people). I'm just hoping that when I get home desperate for sleep from night shift I'll be able to set my download going!
