Misguided Geek Friday Tech Update Quick rundown of the Tech news of the day:  - A recent $110 price drop in its Kindle DX is leading many to belive that a whole new run of Kindle’s are about to be released by Amazon, some speculating that the new gadgets could come out as early as next week.  - As I discovered last week, Sprint has dropped the price of the iPhone 4S by 50 bones.  In a suprisingly… nice move Apple Stores will match the discount on their iPhone 4 and 4S by $49.01 to customers that cite the discount from the wireless carriers.  - In the background of the ongoing Samsung vs Apple war, lies Google who, according to CNET is silently supporting its brother in Droid.  Per the article, Google has remained silent because ““They don’t want to directly confront Apple.” - Maybe Google is to busy re-inventing the way we transport our bodies around to help Samsung as they recently boast that their Self Driving Cars have now logged 300,000 miles with no accidents.  If I cant have flying cars, I guess I can settle for robot chauffeurs.  Thats another week in the books, be sure to tune back in next week, same nerd time, same nerd channel.  Stay Geeky - MG

iPhone 4S Drops to Price to $150 To add my own fuel to the iPhone 5 fire, the iPhone 4S has dropped its price by 50 bones.  This was great for me, as I previously discussed my contact through Verizon has expired and I was debating my upgrade options, because I settled on the 4S.   As I have discussed at length, I dont like the move to the smaller conncector, yes I know the reasons, but it makes all the docks and stuff I have purchased garbage, I was not planning on waiting for the new iPhone anyway.  So, it was a nice surprise when checking out Saturday morning, to see a bill of a little over $160, vs the $200 + I was expecting.  It also made my decision between the iPhone and the Galaxy III much easier.  So, if it wasnt all but confirmed, the price drop of the 4S all but solidifies rumors that the release of a new iPhone is forth coming.

Im way behind here, I know, but if you are the one person that hasnt heard a new iPhone and iPad Mini will be announced on September 12th, with the new phone to be released on September 21st…. supposedly. Im kind of in a bind here folks.  My plan through Verizon is up on Friday, and I had planned to move to Sprint and join my wife’s plan (its a lot cheaper, and makes a ton of sense).  I have been debating upgrading from my Droid X to either the Galaxy or the iPhone 4S… but with this news I know that I will kick myself for not waiting.  So what do you guys think?  Get the Galaxy, 4S, or wait for the iPhone 5?

Five years ago today, the original iPhone was released, forever changing the landscape of how we communicate.  If you have the time, watch the Mac World presentation of Jobs and the iPhone.  Some of the concepts seem so common place today (control your phone with your finger!), its hard to beleive that was only 5 years ago.
