It's here. It's finally here. An official announcement from Apple that an iPhone-related press conference will be held on Apple's main campus in Cupertino, October 4th, 2001. I realize I'm not the first one to notice this, but my take on the poster is that, as usual, Apple has hidden some clues inside. First, the tagline, "Let's talk iPhone", is almost certainly an indicator that we will see Assistant in iOS 5. This is the technology that will allow us to use our phone as a true personal assistant and perform even highly complex actions with voice commands. As someone who drives a lot for my work, I can't wait to be able to send text messages and get directions by voice rather than having to constantly risk my life by looking down and typing.

Also of note, is the singular badge on the phone icon. There has been lots of speculation that Apple would be releasing two phones, the iPhone 5, and a lower-cose iPhone "4S" to enter the lower-end market and possibly serve as a prepaid option. It looks like that's not the case, and we'll only be seeing one phone, at least, if we're reading Apple's thinly veiled hints correctly.

The iPhone 4 will probably continue to be sold and meet this market, and we will only see one new phone from Apple. I may not be a radical departure from the iPhone 4 in physical format, but with the new software, plus a rumoured 1GB of RAM and the dual-core A5 processor from the iPad 2, this phone is sure to be amazing. I just can't wait until the 4th to find out!
