Well nothing since I don't get an upgrade this year but next year. And whatever feature the 5 has, it was worth getting the 4 a year ago to have the 4 for a year even if it means I have to wait one more year to get whatever killer feature the 5 has (and then I'll also get the killer features of the 6 ;) ).
But, I guess for me the features that would make me jealous of the 5:
1) Much faster processor, especially one that would be rated better for gaming.
2) Same thing for graphics card/chip
3) Totally dreaming but optical zoom without increasing the size of the phone (which is why I say totally dreaming, if it is possible at all far as I know we don't even have close to the tech for it to be possible right now). I'd never care for a "real" camera if my phone had actual optical zoom. And so many times I find myself wishing for it (digital zoom is useless).
4) More storage space. Ok, I wouldn't be jealous of this at this point cause I expect it (in fact I'd be rather pissed even though I'm not planning on getting one if Apple skips doing this *again*). But, if I were getting a 4 now I'd be kicking myself if the 5 came out with more space (though I think that in itself would have me waiting for the 5 anyways especially since I expect the 5 to have that and I was disappointed last year the 4 didn't increase the storage).
5) Sure, I'd really like an SD card slot to increase size but I'd prefer more internal storage as that way I don't have to carry around SD cards. Besides, this is probably almost as unrealistic as my optical zoom (mainly cause it's Apple we are talking about and having an SD slot seems something they're philosophically against). It's almost like asking Apple to give us a removable battery.
But what about things I'd be happy I got the four instead (like if they ruined something)?
1) 4.3" screen. Hell no, I like my small phone thankyouverymuch. Totally not worth the increase in size.
2). Possibly the 4.0" screen (I'd have to see how it affected phone size but honestly imho it's not worth increasing the size of the phone for a bigger screen. I like how the phone is compact and to me that in itself is worth the smaller screen which is still imho a usable size)

http://images.macrumors.com/article/2010/08/19/145807-ipod41_iprod21_unknownhardware_500.jpg
AppleInsider is reporting (http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/08/19/apple_testing_ios_4_1_alongside_next_gen_ipod_touch_ipad_and_unknown_product.html) today that Apple's iOS 4.1 beta contains references to several unreleased iOS devices, including "iPod4,1", "iProd2,1", and a curious "unknownHardware" entry.Apple is internally testing the first material update to its iOS 4.0 mobile operating system against a handful of new devices, including next-generation iPod touches, an iPad revision, and an "unknown" product, AppleInsider has discovered.
According to people familiar with the matter, the latest beta of iOS 4.1, due to ship in the coming weeks, includes three new "Configuration Descriptors" within its USB configuration files -- all of which pertain to devices that list "Apple, Inc." as their "manufacturer" -- as can be seen in the screenshot below.The significance of the report is unclear, however, as all of these references have been known for quite some time. The iPod4,1 and iProd2,1 references first appeared (http://www.macrumors.com/2010/04/05/iphone-os-3-2-reveals-references-to-new-iphone-ipod-and-ipad-models/) in iPhone OS 3.2 back in April, with the iProd widely believed to be a second-generation iPad device. The iProd2,1 designation showed up again (http://www.macrumors.com/2010/08/16/new-iphone-and-ipad-models-set-to-begin-field-testing/) just days ago in configuration files showing devices that could be auto-activated for field testing by carriers.
The "unknownHardware" entry, while curious, is not new either. The exact same entry popped up (http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/03/19/evidence-of-new-iphones-new-ipod-touch/) in iPhone OS 3.0 way back in March 2009. It also carries some significant differences from entries for Apple's other devices, including a lack of a name and description and a five-digit product ID number compared to the four-digit, mostly sequential ones used in other entries. As such, it seems likely that the entry is a placeholder or sample code of some sort, and it is nearly impossible to read much of anything into the information.

WMV. Vomits!!! :) I have Flip 4 Mac which I use for converting this bastard format my "odd" clients sometimes give to me. They offer a free plug-in for playback you peeps should check out. BTW, MS bought this company the other year right when they pulled their MASSIVE-POS WMP from OS X.
Video, one more notch on MS's mediocre belt.
Oooooh, motion control... :eek:
This games looks cool and I look forward to playing it, but it's Factor 5! They made Rogue Squadron 3, :( which is one of the worst Cube games. (The only good part of this game was the RS2 co-op.) It's the only game I owned that actually froze my Cube. They're good with "arcade" flight, but when it comes ot running a character around, they don't know what they're doing. Their earlier RS games were much better.

Most happy with this idea.
This'd give me a store nearer to where I am.
And it will also be the final the death-knell for the dreadful Mac1 store in the Valley. That used to be a great store, but then they got in a bunch of GenY snots who had an astonishingly arrogant attitude to operate the place. I've even been in the shop when I've seen staff actually SNARL at a customer, then belittle them when they left the shop. They were only there to pick up a repair that they'd actually already paid for. . The attitude was so bad I almost dropped the purchase I was making at the time, and walked out the door. I probably should have.
Chermside is a major pain to get to for their apple store, and the place is usually so full of schoolkids (not that the CBD wont be) that it's impossible to move. Usually staff there are so busy just keeping an eye on the kids they are more or less baby-sitting, that it's often hard to get service.
Brisbane CBD: Beautiful building too. I've got high hopes for these guys.
Shame about the great bookstore that used to be there. But oh well.

When working on my iMac, randomly, my iMac screen goes gray (it fades from top of the screen to the bottom, locks me out and the message asks me to hold the power button down and reboot. It's a mid-2010 iMac. Any suggestions to make this stop??

So anyway I installed disk #1 and proceeded to erase and do a clean install. So everything went well but it did not ask for the second disk??? weird. But it said install completed and it rebooted then a folder with a flashing question mark was on my desk top.
I was re-reading this to see if there was anything I was missing. Explain this part above very carefully. If you re-formatted hard drive, then installed disc 1, then erased, this would be why you're getting an error cause nothing is there, and hence why it wouldn't ask for disc 2 cause there is nothing on the hard drive asking for anything. That is why I said format the hard drive, and start over.

Thought I'd share my little story, although it's not much of a story. My older brother has had a mac for about 5 years, starting with his freshman year in college and one of the original imacs. He now has a new imac and a 12" powerbook. I've always had windows machines, and i'll probably continue to have one as my main desktop computer, but I am realllly excited about my updated 15.2" powerbook comin.
I wanted to get a laptop to work in the library with, and on flights home from school and back, and after messing around with his 12" I was sold. This site kept me from buying prematurely, and now i'll be getting my 15.2" with backlit, 80gb 4200rpm, 1.25ghz etc. I love my current desktop setup, as I have a falcon northwest machv and dual 20" dell flat screens, so unless i end up marrying osx i probably won't switch my desktop, but panther looks awesome. Expose alone could do it. Oh, and i'm pretty pumped about being able to play warcraft 3 on it as well.
I've had the ipod for windows 5gb since it came out too, and I love it. No need to get the new one, as I like the actual push buttons better than the touchpad (can't control the touchpad through the fabric of my pants like i can the old ipod). It'll probably be so much easier using my ipod with itunes too, won't have to worry about the retarded windows support for it anymore. Oh, and musicmatch is the devil. When I saw that was the software for it, i didn't even install it, just searched for some 3rd party. Ended up using ephpod, which is pretty good, but not great.
Can anyone recommend a good scroll wheel mouse for the powerbook? I could probably live without 2 buttons, but I don't think I can tolerate no scroll wheel.
Also, since i'm just sticking with the initial 512 in the PB at first and opting for 3rd party ram, where do you guys and gals recommend buying from? I've always bought from crucial for my pc, as they have high quality ram for pretty good prices. I'll probably sell one of the 256mb sticks and buy a gig stick.
Thanks to all the posters here, there's been so much info posted that has helped me make my foray into macland.

Anyone else going to the Clarendon Apple Store?
I'm pretty sure I'll be heading there, but I'm also considering going to Tysons Corner. Any guesses on which store will have a shorter line?
I'd assume Tysons will have the longer of the two lines.
Have you given any thought to the Fair Oaks location? Just curious. I have no idea what the line there would be like.

Look at that subtle off-white coloring..
The tasteful thickness of it.
Oh my God..
It even has a watermark.
In all seriousness though, I don't think the light green color, or the blue/black combination works that well. I think that if you are to have something as visually disruptive as a signature, then the card itself should be very sober to offset the irregularity of something hand written.
The signature itself should be thicker, and look into making it look more like a stroke than a pixellated curve. The pixellated curve makes it look cheap.
Why not try a dark silver signature on a silver-white background with your name?
