Gizmodo published a review of a product no one has yet experienced -- the much-anticipated iPhone 5. How did they manage it? "We had our intern make a mock-up of the new phone using specs from the leaked cases; we found other devices that made use of some of the iPhone's components; and we carried the foam core iDevice for a couple weeks, loaded up our actual phones with iOS5 and iCloud and got down to business."And the verdict, based on this slapped-together product mock-up? "The iPhone 5 is an improvement on what is already the best mobile phone ever created." Pretty cool. Gizmodo found the (hypothetical) new shape easier to handle than the iPhone 4's boxy, industrial design. The iOS 5 is a hit, with much-improved notification alerts and sharp attention to detail. The camera, processor and screen all rate well, and of all the features only iCloud earns criticism for being overrated.Apple has not made any public statements about the iPhone 5 (or the iPhone 4S, another device sources have speculated about, which might be the same as the iPhone 5.) Rumors about when the phone will be released point to this Tuesday, October 4, as the probable launch date based on some leaked documents from Radio Shack and Cincinnati Bell. Answers regarding the price of the phone, which carriers will offer it, and how awesome the voice assistance feature will be remain elusive.Are you psyched? Indifferent? Are you wondering how it would be possible to have a new iPhone in addition to your Android phone like I am?
