Savvy Sites

During the course of our classes, we were introduced to a few new websites which are always useful when searching for information regarding technology. i have since visited a number of potential sites on particular subjects about technology, specifically concerning the iPhone 5 or 4S. Of the sites I visited based on both references as well as simplistic Google searches, I found that the two main sites mentioned in class were, in fact, quite up to date and knowledgeable. The websites in question are Mashable.com and Techcrunch.com; of the two, I would recommend Techcrunch - it appeared to have a wider array of tech topics and was up to speed on current trends in a manner superior to Mashable. What I have discovered about the iPhone 5 is that it was previously scheduled to be released this year, however, due to factory issues they were forgo that release date. According to articles on these sites, the new date may be next year, yet it appears that many rumors regarding the iPhone 5 or 4S are still spiraling throughout the news and web circuits. As such, it's difficult to determine which rumors may come to pass and which are entirely untrue. In any case, I wanted to share some Techcrunch articles for those who may wish to read them.
