Well, it’s (semi-)official: according to the Associated Press, former Vice President and current Apple Inc. board member Al Gore says that the iPhone 5 is almost here. At the Discovery Invest Leadership Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, Al Gore reportedly said while discussing the exponential growth of computing: “Not to mention the new iPhones coming out next month. That was a plug.”

This isn’t the only reason to get excited. Earlier today, it was reported by AllthingsD, the technology blog, that new Apple CEO Tim Cook will give the keynote address at an Apple event on October 4, when many expect the official release of the iPhone 5 will take place.
