iPhone 4S, for some reason I'm blah about it

Today Apple announced the iPhone 4S to much fanfare. The 4S reminds me of the 3GS when it came out, nothing special. I appreciate the upgraded processor and better camera, beyond that, there isn't much compelling about it. I'm actually more excited about seeing (or buying) the Amazon Kindle Fire than I am about upgrading my iphone (and this from someone who has had every generation of the iphone). Perhaps that is why they did not call it an iPhone 5, not enough to go to the next number. The built in Siri application is great, but already is available on the iPhone 4. Siri is a great voice recognition app that you can use to complete tasks. Give it an instruction and it actually completes it for you. For example, tell Siri to schedule lunch with Mr. Smith for Thursday at 1:00PM, it makes the appointment on your calendar for you with that information. Cool, but available already, just download the app. I guess I will pass, at least I can use that money for the iPad/Kindle Fire.
