because I won't have to upgrade for another year
OTOH, get your contract-free iPhone4 from Craigslist soon, as sellers will soon learn this and will raise prices to their new fair street value.

*shrug* I guess I don't know enough about Steve to have opinion on his take on holiday marketing.
On the other side of the fence, I suppose no iPhone 5 in 2011 would put even more emphasis on "The year of the iPad 2".

Let me guess, you bent over to pick it up, and from there on, you don't remember anything ?

They couldn't fit a G5 in a laptop, nevermind a phone.

It'll be much easier if you just comply.

Well, the last G5 was produced on a 90 nm process. We are now at 32 nm. With some power saving redesigns and process shrinkage, who knows what such a PPC derivative could achieve? The G5 came out almost a decade ago.
For example... Atom is too hot for phones currently, but then again, compare Atom in 2011 vs. Pentiums in 2002. Current Atoms are as fast as Pentium 4 chips of that era.
And, some are predicting that Atom will start to match ARM for power utilization this year.
Intel could match ARM for power this year - 4/12/2011 - Electronics Weekly
This would be perfect for a tablet, in 2011. I could see Atom in a phone a few years after that.

Crap, it was my turn to make the stupid G5 iPhone (e.g. G5 Powerbook) reference.
