With the dust barely settles after Apple announced the new iPhone, or iPhone 4S as it's known to its friends, the Android world is getting ready to take its moment in the spotlight.

Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
One of Apple's key differentiators is AppleCare, which offers that added piece of mind when you attach it to your Apple branded bride and joy.
It's Apple announcement day today, and we've been treated to a couple of new devices. One of those announcements that might not get that much attention is the new iPod nano 7th-generation, which builds on the already super awesome little iPod that we all know and love.
Oh iCloud, we seem to have known all about you for so long, yet we barely know you. Apple's MobileMe replacement, and all-round data syncing system is finally out of beta, and ready for primetime (well almost, anyway).
Owners of some HTC-branded Android phones may have a little cause for concern today, after it emerged that the company's handsets may contain a huge security flaw which could, theoretically, share personal information with any third-party application.
With iPhone excitement beginning to reach fever pitch head of tomorrow's announcement by Apple, we're beginning to see all kinds of leaks and web-based mishaps. The latest in a long line is from Vodafone's German arm, who's web store now appears to be listing new iPhone models in its compatibility lists.
Well it doesn't get much more morbid than this, does it? TechCrunch Disrupt winner PassMyWill is a new web service which promises to work out when you are longer with this world, and then to take care of all your online passwords and data.
Samsung's recently released AllShare DLNA app offers Windows Phone owners of the Sammy persuasion the ability to share all kinds of media over a WiFi network to any DLNA-compatible TV or set-top box. The problem though, is that when attempting to run the app on certain Samsung devices, users were met with an error, and as a result were unable to take advantage of what AllShare has to offer. The popular belief is that Samsung doesn't want owners of certain handsets to have access to AllShare, though the reasoning is unclear. With that in mind, it's possible that users could experience some off behavior on certain handsets, but we've not seen any reports either for, or against that theory just yet.
With Microsoft's Windows 8 being downloaded half a million times in its first 24 hours of being available for download as a Developer Preview, it's fairly safe to say that there is a certain amount of interest in the fledgling operating system. Perhaps it's those fancy Metro-UI tiles that have all our heats aflutter, but everyone seems to want to give Windows 8 a whirl.
iPhone 4S Name Appears In Latest iTunes Beta. Same Design As iPhone 4, Dual Mode GSM/CDMA Capability
We're firmly in iPhone rumor territory now, with three days to go before Apple announces whatever they have hidden up their sleeves. We may have a better idea as to what Apple will bestow upon us on the 4th now though, thanks to a leak from Apple's own software team.
