4" Screens for the new iPhone 5?
Apple readies iPhone with bigger screen: sources(Reuters) - Apple Inc plans to use a larger screen on the next-generation iPhone and has begun to place orders for the new displays from suppliers in South Korea and Japan, people familiar with the situation said on Wednesday.The new iPhone screens will measure 4 inches from corner to corner, one source said. That would represent a roughly 30 percent increase in viewing area, assuming Apple keeps other dimensions proportional. Apple has used a 3.5-inch screen since introducing the iPhone in 2007.
Early production of the new screens has begun at three suppliers: Korea's LG Display Co Ltd, Sharp Corp and Japan Display Inc, a Japanese government-brokered merger combining the screen production of three companies.
It is likely all three of the screen suppliers will get production orders from Apple, which could begin as soon as June. That would allow the new iPhone to go into production as soon as August, if the company follows its own precedent in moving from orders for prototypes for key components to launch.
sounds totally plausable, since most of the new android smartphones have been going with larger 4" screens for the last year or more... still, note really sure i want my phone to be that large.
hmmm... dunno, guess i'll just have to wait and see.
p.s. here's to hoping the rumors of the retina displays coming to the new macbook pro, macbook air, and iMac are all true -- cuz that would be tasty indeed.

FoO, I reckon you're completely used to having big things in your pants ;)
Seriously though, I thought they didn't want the iPhone screen bigger because of the length of your thumb. 4 inches means you can't do things with one hand, like reach the other side of the keyboard.

I have a galaxy sII right now, and a bigger screen is not really any better, unless you do not care at all about having a bigger phone. All I want is a phone that will function just as well after having it for months as it does ight out of the box. Tired of getting new phones, only for them to suck after actually using it for a few months.

i feel like a lot of the android phones are significantly larger than the iphone but i've never had one. no one really complains about the size of those.
i keep mine in my front pocket too.
whatever the case, i don't have any doubt that the engineers at apple will solve the problem perfectly.

I said that when I went from my Razr to my first iPhone. I asked my boss where the hell am I going to carry this and now it seems to be to small. Remember when the craze was having the smallest phone you could get?

I skipped the upgrade to the 4s in hopes for a larger screen iPhone coming this fall. Hopefully they do not take away the home button to make room for the screen.

i bet the phone won't change in size, the top part will just shrink a bit.
i'm not crazy abou another row of icons either but as it is i don't use a full screen of icons now, i split them into screens of 1,2, or 3 rows

i guess a larger screen wouldn't be a bad thing, though i'm not sure i'm crazy about another row of icons. *blink*

Playmate Faux Dogs
'Playmate of the Year' Hawks (Faux) Hot DogsIt's National Veggie Dog Day! This means that vegetarians across our great nation are pulling out the charcoal and gathering their friends for a summer feast that they won't soon forget. In honor of this year's "holiday," we assembled several of our nation's finest ladies, including Playboy Playmate of the Year—and stunning vegetarian—Jayde Nicole, on Capitol Hill.
Wearing only a lettuce bikini and her 1,000-watt smile, Jayde helped us get our healthy, humane, and tasty veggie dogs to our nation's finest congressmembers. While serving up the "dogs" to politicians and passersby, Jayde reminded each person that "the best way to safeguard your health, reduce your carbon footprint, save animals' lives, and look your very best is to go vegetarian."
i might not be a big fan of PETA, but they sure do manage to pimp some good look'n women – regularly.
how many of you are veggies?
