Though Not the 5, I'm Buying the iPhone 4S

My current iPhone 3 will be 3 years old this month.  It is slow, doesn't hold a charge, and the case is cracked.  I think it is about time for me to upgrade.  

Apple had its big unveil today for what everyone thought would be the iPhone 5, but it turned out only to be the iPhone 4S.  Everyone in Twitterland was beside themselves with disappointment.  Obviously, Apple is waiting to distribute its iPhone 5 (the one with the app that turns water into wine) 10 minutes after I buy the iPhone 4S.  

The new version of the iPhone looks pretty great compared to my iPhone 3.  It will be like going from radio to HDTV.  Though the phone looks pretty much the same, the innards magically make miracles happen. The battery lasts longer, the apps work faster, and the camera is much better.  It will have a voice-recognition feature that allows you to ask your phone questions. Your phone can recommend a good restaurant or remind you to pick up your Aunt Gert at the airport. Amazing.  I can't wait to get one.
