Apple confirms iPhone event on 4 October

I've just bought an iPhone 4

Yes, I know I should have waited... but I needed to replace my iPhone 3GS, and Carphone Warehouse have them going very cheap.

I'm gambling that the new announcement will be an incremental improvement, rather than a massive quantum leap in technology.

If I am wrong, I will cry in my beer.....

... mine's the coat with the iPhone 4 bulge in the pocket...

Can we get our money back?

Does Apple (or Apple stores in the UK) have policies about people why buy laptops just before the price changes or newer model is launched?

The difference is substantial.

Intel says 'no' to Windows Vista

It's a matter of cost...

And don't forget some people say there is a recession on.

If I were CIO of a large business, I might think twice about investing in time and effort to upgrade the IT infrastructure this year. No doubt a shed load of old PCs would have to be replaced at the same time. Why spend the CAPEX if we could continue to sweat the old systems for a while?

If the ROI is marginal, then that will be one of the first projects to be axed.

The flip side of it is that in about 18 months time the IT budgets will get restored. Just in time for Windows 7 to be considered as the target...
