Sorry for all my poker fans … still nothing to write about poker at the moment. But if you are interested in Apple products you might like that blog entry too.

People around the world eagerly awaited the Apple keynote and were hoping for the iPhone 5. Many followed the livestreams from Mashable and other sources … but most of them had been disappointed. No iPhone 5 :-(

But was there really a reason for disappointment? Or were there just wrong expectations?

To be true nobody at Apple ever mentioned the iPhone 5. It was all created by the press and myriads of rumors running thru the internet. The public is disappointed and the Apple stock is down … and I can’t understand it!

In my opinion the only reason they didn’t call it “5” is that it’s still the same design as the “4” (and I like this design). But inside everything is new with great processor, graphics, camera and so on. Not to forget the increased data speed and the worldphone-feature (GSM and CDMA). If they called it iPhone 5 everybody would have been hyped about that great new phone. As it is “only” the 4S everybody is now disappointed.

In addition they announced the availability of iOS5 on Oct. 12th, Siri for the new iPhone and some more stuff. So if you really think about it and forget the hype created by sources outside of Apple then … then you might think that keynote wasn’t that bad at all.

Oh yes, I forgot … I am disappointed. Because another media hyped rumor didn’t come true: No Facebook App for the iPad. But that’s a total different story!
