Top 10 Memorable Quotes From Apple’s Event
Every Apple fan boy under the sun experienced a wealth of emotions yesterday. From anticipation and excitement to frenzy and flat out disappointment, no stone was left unturned.
At the end of the day however, we did see the introduction of a faster iPhone (iPhone 4S) with longer talk time, faster processing power and higher camera resolution as well as a host of incredible features such as Siri, iCloud, Friend Finder and beefed up parental controls. All beautifully executed like only Apple can pull off.

Truth be told, the iPhone 4s is probably the best mobile phone on the planet. But this time, the best of the Apple event wasn’t about what was being said on stage, it was what’s being said online.

@micgos – Siri, How DO you get to Sesame Street? #LetsTalkIPhone

@Raffeg – Wonder when Apple will tweak Siri so the voice will be Yoda or Homer Simpson rather than the bland GPS voice.
@Angry_Drunk – I can wait to hear the jackholes in here screaming into their phones: “Siri, schedule me an appointment for the proctologist!”
Cue Drum Roll. The number 1 spot goes to…
