iPhone 5 getting good response

Taken from: http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/gadgetbox/apples-iphone-5-pre-orders-now-shipping-2-weeks-998863

The article notes from Reuter's news service: 
(Reuters) - Shipment dates for Apple Inc's new iPhone slipped by a week on the first day of sales on Friday, suggesting strong demand for the slimmer, lighter and faster version of the smartphone.
Within an hour of the start of presales, the www.apple.com store was projecting shipments would take two weeks to fulfill, said Cross Research, an independent research house. 
Another article stated:
Made from aluminum and glass, at 112 grams, the iPhone 5 is 20 percent lighter than the iPhone 4S. Thinner too: at 7.6mm it's 18 percent thinner. As the rumors suggested, it looks like a taller version of the iPhone 4S.
The demand seems strong.  The iPhone 5 is thinner, faster and larger screen - and it is LTE (i.e. 4th generation).  Maybe not a game changer, but definitely interesting!!!

 The tough question for consumers might be - switch early (and pay extra), wait until your contract is up; or ... just ignore the hype!!
