Good to see that iPhone 5 isn't the only Apple failure in the news today.

Manny Brum  -  I think the jury is still out on whether the iPhone 5 will meet expectations.

I do wonder if there are any Ping users on G+, if you could export your data what would you like to do with it?  I haven't looked at ping since it was launched, so I'm not sure what's in there...

Paul Lindner Still out? Have you been reading any comparisons, news, or comments about the iPhone 5 today? All but the most in-denial fanbois are disappointed.  Will it be a total failure, of course not. Enough people will buy it. It sure won't help Apple to win market share back though, and Apple is going to face a round of lawsuits now from the companies that own LTE patents. You think they would have made it worthwhile. 

I try to not pay too much attention to press drama :)  They're always building you up and tearing you down and trying to manufacture horse races.

The iPhone 5 was getting hype before the 4S was even launched, so I think it was guaranteed to not meet expectations.

The leaks didn't help either.  Guess we'll just have to see what the 5S offers.

Paul, just wait for a new round of Android phones, pick out half of the new features, take one from 2 releases ago and bam...  iPhone 5S

Using that formula, iPhone users may actually get NFC and mobile payments next time around...   cross your fingers.
