1. No information about the price of the iPhone 5 (I think they'll ask $650 like the old 4S price -- the 4S is now announced to cost $550). 2. They say there's a multi-standard radio in each phone but Apple lists three different incompatible models for USA, CDMA, and Germany/Japan carriers. 3. The iPod Touch upgrade looks really good. It's even more impressive than the iPhone 5 it's based on. (Still no GPS, though)

1. The prices are on the apple website. They are the same prices as the 4S was.

  Those prices on the apple site only include carrier subsidized carrier-locked prices. The real prices are not listed anywhere yet.

> The iPod Touch upgrade looks really good. It's even more impressive than the iPhone 5 it's based on. (Still no GPS, though) Yeah, I'm most glad they upgraded the ipod touch—I find the idea of an independent device which has some the neat features of the iphone without being tied to my phone contract, or incurring sometimes-scary phone charges, pretty appealing. The old ipod touch was pretty nice, but had some big flaws, like the fairly lame camera. The new one not only seems to have a decent camera, but despite having a larger screen, is actually lighter than the already-featherweight ipod touch 4! Everybody I've mentioned this to has said "oh they'll probably get rid of the touch anyway, they want everybody to buy the iphone instead" which made me sad—but apparently it's not true! :] Lack of GPS is a shame though. Even cheapo phones have GPS these days, so it wouldn't appear to be a cost issue; I guess they are still trying to push the iphone... [An android version might be even nicer, but as far as I've seen, Apple's the only one even attempting to address this niche...]
