When iPhone 5's coming, what it may have
Reports are rolling in that seem to confirm that Apple's next-generation iPhone will land next month, setting the blogs and rumor mills abuzz. Exactly when the iPhone 5 will be in stores is not known, with some saying the first week of October and others saying not until the second half of the month.
