I Phone 5... you getting one?

Anyone getting the I Phone 5? I skipped the 4s and think I will do the same with the 5... the one I have still works just fine and I don't see enough improvements to warrant the fee... anyone disagree?

Currently use the phone for sending images of designs to clients for approval... use Square on it for taking payments during trade shows, etc. Along with the usual internet, email and phone functions of course.

I love my Apples. I got the iPhone 4 and iPad 1 and don't feel the need to trade up just yet. Another year and the phone company will give me a new free iPhone. iPad doesn't have the camera being the first, but the phone does the job for that. In our house we have androids and Samsung, but really all want apple more... I do like the bigger screens on the samsung phone though.

People look like complete tools shooting video on an iPad.

I see it all the time and I'm like WTF!

ha, I don't have the IPad.. but I do use the Iphone for videos... would you recommend something else? It just seems so easy since it allows me to directly upload to youtube or facebook or wherever.

How do you mean? Walking around in public using it like a cam corder or sitting in your home talking with someone on the other end? Reason i ask is because i use the camera on my Ipad all the time to take videos of my kids to share with my sister that lives abroad.

Robert, no the phone makes sense... it's small no big deal.

It's when I'm at events, like we do this "Rock Camp" every year (just finished putting together the dvd), we film it and make the dvd for the kids... my friends actually put it on.

But during the big finale concert there are always a couple of moms that are standing there with this big honking ipad filming their kid play drums or something.

Just seems like if you got the coin to throw at an iPad then I bet you could afford a decent hd video camera that doesn't make you look like a complete retard.

Mike, if you are picking it up quick around the house to shoot something, I guess I could see that... especially if it's spur of the moment. I have a DSLR and I don't break it out to snap a quick photo of the baby sleeping cuddled up to the cat... I just use my phone. But if you are going to an event that you KNOW you are gonna want to film something then bring the right equipment.

It's like trying to him up some pants with an embroidery machine... just because it CAN do it, doesn't mean you should.

But Gilligan... if it hides their FACE... it just may be a WIN WIN. lol
