So Apple have their next event on September 10th and they'll most likely be announcing the 5S and the 5C but what about the 5SG?

iOS7 will also probably launch soon afterwards which will be super great because it's a really slick OS.

    They should emboss the gold iPhone with snakeskin or leopard print.

    Class it up a bit.

    New iPhone isn't going to do anything for me since I got a 5 back in March and would rather not promise AT&T my firstborn over silly contract stuff.

    I might consider a new iPad though. Also looking forward to iOS 7.

    based on the leaked pics, "gold" is more like "champagne" or whatever they call it

    I can't afford to. Also, I still have an unlimited data grandfathered in, but AT&T has been slowly whittling it down.

    Yeah I didn't upgrade everything this time, I still have a MSI 6950 2Gig super overclocked whatever edition. I'm way CPU bound right now though, I have to imagine that will last me through into 2014.

    Dude's been there too long, so that is good news. They need someone in there who can synergise all their disparate paradigms.

    God I want a new video card so much but won't have the cash for it anytime soon. Just want to turn everything to high and get those smooth framerates and not just spend the whole time worrying that I should turn things down because it miiiight not be running that smoothly?

    3G Watchdog (Onavo Count is also good to keep track of data)
    AirDroid (File transfers from the computer)
    Authy (Authenticator)
    BaconReader (Reddit)
    CamScanner (use the camera to make PDF files of whatever documents)
    Chrome
    ConvertPad
    DiskUsage (shows where all your memory is being used)
    Dropbox
    ES File Explorer
    Evernote
    Feedly (RSS feeds)
    Google Calendar (I like the Google one better than my S3's)
    Klyph (Facebook replacement, still a work in progress)
    Nova Launcher (if you don't like HTC's Sense UI)
    Pocket (save articles for reading later)
    Textra (SMS replacement)
    Swapps (task switcher)
    QuickPic (replacement for the default Gallery app)
    Zooper Widget (if you want to do custom widgets on Android)
    Zedge (wallpapers, ringtones, etc)

    Most if not all of those are free or have free versions.

    Oh, and 3D Image Live Wallpaper is kinda cool, if you like live wallpapers.

    I migrated from my old S2 to an HTC 8X last week.

    This Windows Phone 8 is not bad. Not bad at all. I'm getting no less than a day between recharges and everything works for me. I've only added a few apps like Netflix, StatGnome for my yahoo fantasy football, Nokias turn by turn nav app, and a battery status thingamajig. I don't seem to have a real pressing need for anything other than HBOGO. Recommendations are always nice. I do have problems with the way the browser works sometimes, but I think that's because I can be a sausage fingered idiot.

    I don't see an edit button so that is a problem. That knocks it's rating down from a solid 4.5 Steve Handjobs to a respectable 4.

    I'm still using a Lumia 800, so windows 7.8. I like it. I have an iphone for a work phone too. What're you trying to edit?

    Hmmm, interesting

    http://www.theverge.com/2013/8/26/4661568/apple-store-iphone-trade-in-program-september-launch

    Apple might be running a phone-buyback program for iPhone 4/4Ss. $200 probably isn't the best price you could get for the phone, but after a cursory glance through ebay it looks like my 32gb 4 only goes up to around $250. I'll definitely be keeping my eye on this as a possibility.
