* Will we get ios5 on Oct12th. Any indication if we will get ios5 on the same date or are going to have to wait for it.

* Any idea if we will get Siri integration into our existing iPhone4. That thing looks really cool.

Apple will give the update to any phone capable of handling it, regardless of carrier.

Yes, we get iOS5 on 10/12. SIRI is a 4S-only thing.

So far.......

All 4's will get iOS 5 regardless of carrier for free. Siri will remain 4S only, it's really the main draw of upgrading. Dual core is nice but the performance of the 4 is hardly lacking unlike the iPad which really needed the dual core boost. Camera upgrade is very nice but 4 isn't lacking. Apple is making Siri the big draw to get upgrades.

Yeah, I'll stay put and wait to see what the 5 brings next year. I can wait for those features including Siri, which I am sure will not be an app as Apple wants people to buy their hardware!

I am going to hold off and wait also. If all the 4's get the update for the software I'll wait for the 5. You see how they introduced Siri as "introducing Siri" which means they are obviously going to make it even better when they release their later models. The iphone5 in my opinion will be a big change hardware and software and I would just wait for that!
