Out of curiosity, what would you have liked to see? What would have blown your mind?

Hover technology.

No fly, no buy.

What? Aspect ratio has nothing to do with it; it's about resolution. 1136 px > 960 px.

What about something that has not been available in other phones for 2 years now? I guess that's what happens when you spend your time litigating rather than innovating.

Go ahead, make a list. Then we'll compare.

-A new Notification center that Android Jelly bean introduced (tap to tweet or share on facebook)
-5 Icons per row now
-4 inch display that Android has had for years
-New maps app that lets you rotate with two fingers – just like Google Maps
-Turn by turn direction – Just like Google Maps
-LTE, did Apple invent it?
-iCloud tabs that synchronize your tabs just like Chrome
-Shooting pictures while making a video, just like HTC Sense 4.0

Not interested in a truncated and misleading list of what was added; I already watched the keynote, thank you. A list of what you'd have liked to see. What would have impressed you, if anything?

$699 for the 16GB unlocked. Ah well.

Looks like I'll be able to sell my iPhone 4 for about $300, thankfully.

Innovation. Something that apparently has lost its meaning as far as apple is concerned.

Be careful what you ask for; you may not like what you get

Thanks for admitting you have no answer. Another malcontent who wants hover technology and 3D holograms. Next.

But it is also a larger screen so it has more physical space.

Uh yes, it has a screen that's 4" diagonally instead of 3.5". That half an inch means you can fit in more text, images, words... whatever you want.

What on earth are you talking about?

So, you ask for a list, and then you say you're not interested in a list.
You ask for what I want to see to dazzle me, and then you say I'm a malcontent.
Really, you need to get out of the reality distortion field, it's affecting your judgement.
