Yes I think you are correct. During the inital law suits I read somewhere that Samsung supplied displays for iPhone/iPad. That does not seem to be the case, maybe it was just chips they supplied.

Yes I agree, Samsung seems to be holding the AMOLED technology for itself. Also I don't see Apple dealing too much with Samsung. Who knows?

If I had to take a guess: Style change (no glass back, smaller bezel around screen (maybe even curved ala ipod nano 4/5G), less squarish), new camera (8MP?), slight bump here and there (few more Mhz on processor, or memory or something).. and the rest about iOS 5. I don't really see LTE.

I agree with most except I expect a dual core and LTE for Verizon.
Ironically there has been a twist in behaviors. Apple usally is tight lipped about the upcoming produts and Google seems to be very vocal. While iOS5 has been heavily tooted, little has been said on Android 4.
Verizon is launching the Droid Prime around the same time the iPhone 5 is coming out. The Droid Prime will be a Verizon exclusive that will have Android 4 it will be interesting to see what the result is.
