For me it's Win Phone 7 and iOS but to be perfectly honest I just respect iOS for the brilliance in app quality and hardware quality off course. As for as features goes, iOS is behind WP7 and Android. My next laptop will be a Retina Macbook Pro this October but I'm contemplating running Win8 on.

Interesting. It looks like a great evolution of the current one and I'm sure it'll feel top class to hold.
I hope Apple put some more color options around it. Classy ones (not cheesy colors), white, black, maybe a gunmetal, a silver, maybe a nice blue, something like that. They should have done that with the 4S to give it some essence of visual differentiation from the 4.

I'm seriously waiting, cc in hand, to get a MacBook Retina. I have wet dreams about it practically, as I'm on a Laptop for either work or leisure or BS'ing around pretty much 90+% of my day, so it's really one of the most important devices in my life. Also, looking at that retina will be quite soothing for my eyes and senses.
Would you recommend waiting more time for them to work out more kinks/bugs? I already waited for Mountain Lion and that's here, but now I'm wondering if I should just give it more time, while at the same time, it's been out for a couple months or whatever, so I'd assume most early kinks should be worked out?

I feel the exact same way after using Jellybean on the Nexus 7 for the last few weeks. I am really looking forward to getting the next gen iPhone when it comes out. I like the Android OS but prefer app quality on iOS.

recently it has been the other way around, ANdorid is getting many attention from developers since the introduction of Nvidia processors in quad handsets (Galaxy S3, One x, Mizu ..etc). It seriously can replicate PS2 experience in your phone, almost PSP good kind of graphics. iPhone 4S is lagging ..

Report: iPhone 5 to be unveiled September 12
Posted July 30, 2012 9:50am by Brad Spirrison Tags: iPhone, iPhone 5, Rumors, Apple, iPad Mini
In the strongest indication yet that Apple is ready to show the world a new-generation iPhone, tech blog iMore is reporting that the company is planning a special event for Wednesday, September 12, to unveil the iPhone 5 and a new iPad Mini. The iMore report also says the new iPhone will be available to consumers on September 21.
Of course, nobody from Apple has confirmed this report, which iMore claims comes “from sources who have proven accurate in the past.” Apple historically has held September media events, including 11 years ago when it debuted the iPod. It was last October, just before the death of founder Steve Jobs, that the company came out with the iPhone 4S.
So while the actual dates of September 12 and September 21 may not be set in stone, all indications are that an iPhone 5 – and perhaps the iPad Mini – are imminent. Rumors, images and videos of the next generation iPhone have been flying across the Internet in recent days.
Apple typically announces these kind of “special” meetings about two or three weeks in advance. So, if this iMore report is indeed true, expect official notification in the back half of August.

...I guess I'll wait since I just purchased my 4S.

Waiting tend to be safe but so far I haven't read about any yellow screens or extreme overheating, besides that Apple's warranty is damn good so if there's a wide spread problem your Macbook will be replaced.
The only aspect bothering me is the 256GB of non upgradable memory. Upgrading to 512 cost me £400 or £500 with doubled RAM too but that's a cost hard to swallow. However a 13 inch retina Macbook Pro is scheduled for this fall and should feature discrete graphics unlike the current 13 inch Macbook Pro. Sure one can add an external harddrive or use the cloud but having such a fast SSD and i7 powered laptop hooked up to an external HDD or fetching your content from the net is like buying a Porsche Cayenne and pulling it with two horses.
However I've seen that Lexar sell 128GB SDXC memory cards for £119 which is a fantastic way to bump up the capacity of the Retina Mac, and I'm sure 256GB SDXC memory cards will hit the market soon. So I might settle for a 256GB Retina Mac after all.

Yeah, I HOPE 256 GB would be enough for me. I'm sure it will. I can't wait to get it as my battle-horse current MacBook Pro deserves some time to rest. This baby has handled everything in my life for over 5 years, seriously, the most important inanimate object that I can think of. I can only hope the MBP Retina does the same quality job.
I wish the Retina MBP had an option for the non-reflective screen, though? Mine is, and I think I prefer it to the gloss screens.... though I have a feeling that the picture quality of a gloss screen should be well superior.

Glare might be awful at time but the colours are so much better. A friend of mine got a matte coating for his iPad and next to mine it looked like a completely different device. The experience was so calming and distraction free without glare, but my glossy one just looked more awesome.

LOL. Samsung couldn't go but a few months without piggybacking off of another Apple trait.
"Apple, the R&D for the world".
Fact of the matter is, even if Samsung had these ideas or prototypes in a safe somewhere. That's hard to prove (or disprove), and Apple if nothing else *innovated the marketplace*, which is just as, if not much more important.

There there gentlemen, lets keep this on track with the iPhone 5 related news. The "who's better than who" topic has been beaten to death already.
Back on topic, how many of you are ready to butcher your sim cards once again ? Apparently the next iPhone is going to get the even smaller nano sim

Same here - if you consider the original iPhone a "dumb" phone. Welcoming the 5 for the ability to do more complicated functions than taking a call without the phone shutting down. It seems the fully functional life of an iphone does not exceed 3 years. I work in portfolio management, so I'll welcome the ability to look at stock charts while in the bathroom again
