so is there actually gonna be an iphone 5 this year...or some iphone 4s or something stupid like that?
cause my plan expires on my BB this december and i want to switch over
You've got lots of time then. Not only will the new iPhone be out, but it will have been out for a few months so you won't have to suffer through line-ups if you decide to buy one.

It does have more ram though, so should be faster for "multitasking"
I find my iPhone 4 to be quite snappy and I'm never "waiting" for any tasks to complete on it. My Apps start quickly and are all responsive. The same goes for my iPad.
I'm not sure what tasks/Apps you're doing where you find it to be so slow - perhaps you'd like to share them so those of us with an iPad can try them for ourselves and see what all the fuss is about.

Everything. Reading ibooks, pages take an extra half-second to a second to flip sometimes. Switching to the email app, it takes a second to load. Switching tabs in the browser, sometimes it "loses" the page you were on, so it has to refresh the page. Clicking on text boxes in the browser, it takes a second or two for the keyboard to pop up. And even longer for it to become responsive. And sometimes, there is a slight lag between hitting the keys and the letters appearing. Some games are completely unplayable, such as Monkey Island, Pulse, and many more. I have given up on gaming. The whole thing just feels like a cheap midrange phone. You could get similar performance from a $250 Android LG or Samsung phone. Not something you expect from a $600 to $740 "high end" iphone 4. These are all quantifiable - I could make a video if I wanted.
If you don't notice these things, you just don't know any better. AND THAT IS A GOOD THING. BELIEVE ME. What I don't get though, is that more people don't notice them. I know most iphone/ipad users are Apple FANS and are blind and ignorant to anything negative about "their" company's products, but with SO many users, you'd expect more people to notice how slow their phone is. Guess you wouldn't notice unless you have experience with other smartphones, computers, and similar devices, I guess.
PS this is the first time you have been level headed and participatory in a discussion, instead of coming off like a mindless troll because someone doesn't prefer the same phone as you. That's why I responded.

A dual-core 1ghz android phone for 250?? From Samsung and LG?? I want one!

Link plz!
The Ipad 1 is not dual core. It has a single core ARM Cortex A8 that does 42 MFLOPS on linpack. About the same as a midrange phone of its day when $600-740 phones are doing 80-100 MFLOPS
Ipad 2 scores 170, so it is very fast at FPU calculations.
looks like I was right about why Apple didn't announce Iphone5
they saw the Nokia N9 and decided to make some additions/changes so they add something seen in the N9
You're forgetting Jobs wanted to make the original iPhone buttonless back in 2007, but couldn't due to technology at the time.
And this feature isn't that useful. It probably would be for people with disabilities (hence the name Assistive), but for a regular user it doesn't offer much. Posted via RS Mobile
So it looks like someone might be leaking Apple details again as there are some snaps of possible future iPhone 5 cases (just like the iPad 2 cases that showed up before the iPad 2 did).
