If you want portability, don't give the Apple keyboard. Go online, or to your local specialty electronics store, and get one that folds up, rolls up Fits in your pocket, or is actually a custom case for your phone with a keyboard that pulls Out. In my mind, the silly Apple keyboard really isn't practical if you want to carry it Around. Also, something I haven't heard mentioned yet that is potentially very relevant, the iPhone five has a significantly better camera than the four ass. I have a for S, and the camera works, but sometimes it's a little bit slow with apps like vizwizz And the MoneyReader, and I've heard it's a real headache messing with OCR apps on the four ass camera, but it's quite a bit easier on the five. Whoa, Siri just messed up that last sentence, but I'm feeling kind of risqué today, so I'll keep it in there, for comedy sake. :-)
