I'm considering the Samsung S3 at the moment because I think the iPhone 5 is going to be overhyped and it's too expensive. That's coming from someone with the iPhone 4... but are you fussed by the announcement coming later?

I'm never fussed by a new phone coming out, especially iPhones. I'm still rocking a Nokia 6700s thats 2 years old, does everything I want it to but I fear that the next time it gets drowned it won't come back to life. Gonna be in trouble when that day comes, I've had a look around out of curiosity but there is nothing that fits what I want these days.

Yeah pretty much. It's a good overhaul from what's already known, and that's just scraping the surface. Theirs lots more to the next iPhone then what's out there at the moment...

Never been overly fussed over anything Apple, I feel like for lower prices I can get something that does the same stuff at same quality, for the prices Apple charge, I want to be absolutely BLOWN AWAY, watching the keynote just to inform myself but I'm seeing nothing overly astoundingly new, not even in the iPod stuff...

I'm not convinced it's that much more exciting than say the competitor in the form of the Samsung S3. Sure there's some nifty features - but they seem reliant on 4G.

It saddens me that one of the comments I'm seeing most is (actually about the iPod nanos) "Oooh pretty colours" because this of course makes them worth the extortionate prices for both device and the new raft of accessories you'll need due to the new connections making existing docks obselete etc.

HDMI and USB aren't minor changes to existing form factor but are completely different steps in progress, this is Apple milking again from a connector with less pins that is 'magically' faster somehow.

actually it was to take out obsolete circuitry and improve internal space to allow for an improved battery in the iPhone 5. For the other product lines it's so they're only using one type of connector. With the old size it would of been impossible to get that battery in there whilst maintaining size and weight.

10 years? The iPhone is only 5 years old!

yeah but the same adapter is used on iPods - which have been around for more than 10 years

And I won't sit down,

And I won't shut up,

But most of all I will not grow up <3

I've been waiting over a year for this. I've had crappy PAYG phones all my life and my iPod touch is three years old now, as well as cracked and broken. Now it's almost out, the cheapest deal I can find is £33 a month for 24 months, along with an extra £100 payment for the phone. *sigh*

OMASM. Radio presenters are like fruit. Matt is my kumquat and Scott is blatantly my orange.

Yeah but Viv you don't count because you're perpetually stuck in the late 70s...

even while she talks about being/wanting things to be 'noo and innovative'. Yeah... anyways, moving swiftly on.

BTW, I found this which proves that some people will quite literally buy (in both senses of the word, purchase or believe) the same crap over and over thinking it's somehow better.

I think they really missed the boat in terms of the lightning connector. The name means many people may just assume it's faster even though it is still using USB 2.0 when many new PCs and even Apple's own Macs are moving towards USB 3.0/Thunderbolt ports. I suppose it was more to try and make the phone thinner, but I'd rather have the new(er) USB 3.0 connection, especially since the current iPhone is not exactly cumbersome...

Just got myself the Samsung S3, which seems like an excellent upgrade from the iphone 4. It's nice to feel restricted with what I use which is how I felt on an iphone.

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      By Lee E · Posted

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      By NathanS · Posted

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday.

      As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
