Read that earlier. It's bollocks, isn't it.
I am all but wetting myself here. Excitement doesn't get any BIGGER than that.
Fortunately I can contain my excitement. I was hoping for better hardware design than the leaks. Thinner and taller will just look weird, I think. I was hoping something with more curves, something sleek and appealing. The UI could do with an update, but it appears we won't be getting that either (according to the leaks).
I'll reserve excitement until 6pm tonight, but I'm hoping these leaks are a red herring and that Apple planted them to move people away from the real product. Somehow, I don't think this is the case.
If Android wasn't so damn unstable I'd move away from Apple. I'm no longer wow'ed, I'm just a user.

I am waiting for the new iphone however i think the article does highlight some true/worrying facts... That android phones are increasing their market share.
I however will prob still go with the iphone, but i don't think the iphone 5 will have anything revelutionary... a bigger screen, slimmer handset and stronger screen is sadly probably about it...
I am waiting to be wowed by apple... but dont think i will be.
Looks spot on to me, Apple playing catch up and charging through the nose for it

Android are increasing their market share due to the vast number of cheap poor quality android devices that are free on contracts. They are almost all cheaply made and of poor quality. But thats how the market share increases. The exceptions to this rule are fe wand far between but generally they are all lacking.
I bought an HTC one X because on paper and to touch the device is awesome however having had it three months I am fed up witht he flakey software and poorly developed apps in comparison to the iPhone equivalents, so the inevitable return to iPhones will happen this week and I'll sell my three month old HTC phone for less than I got for a two year old iPhone 4 three months ago.
The article states a few facts but one things for sure apple products are definitely not boring.

Android is software sold on hundreds of devices. Apple is a hardware company that sells just the iPhone (albeit annual revisions of their product). A more apt comparison is Apple to Samsung, not Apple to Android. The comparison is just not fair. It's like comparing Cadbury sales against a Snickers bar.

"Last month, Samsung's Galaxy S3, with its huge 4.8in screen, outsold the iPhone 4S in the United States, the first time any smartphone has outsold the iPhone in the States."
Not really a surprise since the iPhone 5 is due out this month. Surprisingly shoddy journalism from the BBC.

This should help
Open the Calculator. Hold down the power button on top of the phone until "slide to power off" appears. Let go of the power button and press and hold the home button. The power off message will disappear and the app will close.

This link How To Recalibrate iPhone Home Button To Make It More Responsive | Redmond Pie was posted earlier in the thread. I've had some problems with double clicking the home button to show all apps that are open, sometimes it would take 3 or 4 attempts to do the right thing, I followed the instructions on the link and it works a treat.

My iPhone 3GS is a better, more useable piece of kit than my Android phone. I have to persevere with Googles box of shit as it's provided by work, but it is just rubbish, it crashes all the time, the apps are shoddy, and the interface is archaic.
My only disappointment is that it now seems Apples prices in the USA are pretty much equalised with UK prices now, so there is no point me buying a new iPhone when I visit the States next month.
