So you've got the prices for all the device on-contract, yes? Now we've got the real numbers for you if you plan on running away from the store with a device that's on no contract at all as well. Can you guess what they might be? Let's start with the iPhone 3GS - this device now only comes in one iteration, 8GB, and on-contract you can get it for free if you also commit to a 2-year contract. Sounds like a deal! If you'd like to get this phone OFF contract, you'll be paying a total of $375. An interesting thing to note here is the fact that the "free" model is in stock today while the off-contract model will be delivered and in stores on the 14th of October. Strange!

iPhone 4S vs Galaxy S II vs HTC Sensation vs DROID BIONIC vs G2x
Now that we know what Apple is offering for this holiday season in the iPhone range, it’s time we compare the device (the iPhone 4S) to the most comparable Android devices. This means, of course, that we’ve got to hit up each of the greatest dual-core processor creators for the platform, and with them the latest and best devices running on them. What follows is an exploration of what the best from both of these major players in mobile computing can offer. Let the fight begin!
Say Hello to the iPhone 4S
All the rumors and speculation have finally ended today regarding the next iPhone, as you all already know it will be the iPhone 4S — no 5 here. While just about everyone and their dogs were watching the news as it unfolded, us included, the Apple site has been overwhelmed all day, pages keep disappearing for updates most likely. I’d like to introduce you to the new iPhone 4S courtesy of Apple.com
Apple Siri brings voice-control to iPhone 4S
We’ve heard all the rumors and yes they are true. Apple is bringing full out voice control “Siri” to the iPhone. This is a feature that has been a long time coming from the folks in Cupertino, they’ve also confirmed that yes — it will be called Siri. Bringing easy and natural voice control to the world of the iPhone. Look Android, the iPhone has a microphone on the keyboard now too. We have plenty of pictures of the demonstration below so head on down and look over the gallery.
Tim Cook takes the lead at iPhone event
This week in Cupertino in a much smaller-than-usual venue for a press event, Apple played lovely tunes as per usual by such big bands as the Rolling Stones [Jumpin Jack Flash!] and Eric Clapton. After asking the crowd to turn their phones off and that there would be just a five minute delay after the proposed starting mark at 10 AM PST, the event began. Tim Cook stepped on stage and announced that this would be his first product launch since being named Apple CEO. He let the audience know that it was his privilege to host such an event and that after 14 years of working for Apple, he was glad to be taking his new role.
iPhone 4S confirmed for October 14 launch
It appears that someone in Japan is about to be in big trouble as their front page now features both the soon-to-be-revealed iPhone 4S and what may be a new iPod Nano. This page also lets us know that October 14th will be the launch date for this new iPhone model (at least in Japan) and one step deeper you’ll find that the price has been lowered from 13,800 yen to 10,800 yen. Also note: Apple USA has done some much less suspicious leaking of the same device, this time in uploading images of the iPhone 4S to their servers – of course some intrepid fans found them quickly.
iOS 5 not iPhone 5 is Apple’s big deal today
Apple’s “Let’s Talk iPhone” event is just hours away, and there’s still plenty of argument over what will steal the show. New iPhone hardware will obviously have a significant impact on Apple’s bottom line for the next twelve months. Whether the company launches one new handset or two, though, and whether the new flagship is an evolutionary iPhone 4S or a revolutionary iPhone 5, sales are likely to remain strong – after all, even more than a year on, the iPhone 4 is still in high demand. While that’s all a big deal to Apple (and carriers), it’s software which will make the broadest difference.
