IDK though, I really can't see many Android users jumping ship in the Sprint community from Android to iPhone. If you were already on AT&T and owned an iPhone 4 why would one switch to an iPhone 4S? This move doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me other than adding a new carrier.

There is a reason why steve jobs left, cause he knew Apple has reached its peak. My guess is the reason for the delay for the iphone 4s is due to trying to cut samsung out of the supply chain (as much as possible) which lead to issues.
I don't think people were asking for an OS from the ground up, but iphone 4s failed in some aspects.
1) people expected option for bigger screen sizes (my guess is apple hesitated because they did not want to loose retina status)
2) people wanted a new design.
3) 4G
As far as adding dual cores, most average user don't care..I mean everyone likes to talk about how smooth iOS is..well will dual core make it more smooth? probably not...so only gamers would care here..
so at end of the day, to the average consumer this reads as better camera and world phone for cdma people...
Every new release Apple likes to come up with some sort of hype like retina and call it "magical"..this time it had nothing to offer really..don't get me wrong iphone 4s is pretty good as far as specs go..but it just doesn't feel like it..

This was quoted from an aritcle on the BGR site, I doubt there is any truth to that article at all.

Well the 20 billion is most likely real as it was sourced from WSJ...as for exclusives, doubt it.
