What the heck, I'll bite.
I'm underwhelmed by the 4S, just as I was underwhelmed by the iPAD. I don't see the appeal of either of those at the price point at which they are offered. In my opinion they're not significantly better than the technology we had in 2000 (although the battery life is tons better). There's very little I can do on those devices that I couldn't do on my iPAQ, or on my tablet computer back then.
I'm happy a lot of people are thrilled with them though, as that means that the state of the art will eventually move to a point where I get to see the value. Now, please, go enjoy whatever it is you enjoy and stop trying to justify your decision to the rest of us.
