Apple iPhone 3GS - Review

Apple has announced it latest upgrade - the Apple iPhone 3GS. With this announcement the iPhone 3GS has a faster processor, can surf the internet faster, view larger graphics and even increase the amount of storage. Their engineers have taken the memory and doubled it. It now comes in a 16GB and 32GB version to suit just about anyone's fancy. They have even taken the 8GB 3G and put it on sale at a low $99 price tag.

It is not secret that Apple's App Store has proven to be a huge success and has contribute to the success of the iPhone. The App store provides software and event he first endorsers of the iPhone 2G have benefit from the available software. How much of an upgrade will the 3GS be over the software improvement from 2.0 to 3.0?

When Apple came out with the 3G it was a convincing reason for users to upgrade to the 3G. However, even though the 3GS has the 3.0 software, it is available to download onto the 3G. It really isn't much of an incentive to upgrade unless you are a gamer and would like to have a slightly faster unit. If you want to spend $300 or more for an unlocked iPhone, 3GS, you may want to do some serious thinking. The new hardware just doesn't compel you to spend that kind of money especially when you can upgrade the OS for FREE.

On the positive side:
1. Apple finally added MMS, video recording, voice dialing, A2DP and copy/paste
2. The new OSX 3.0 seems more stable than 2.0
3. Improved memory, increased processing power, 3D rendering

On the negative side:
1. Where did the excitement go, it just seems to be missing. Truth is, it's more of the same ole same.
2. Apple's bottom-line is doing well with the reduced price point of the 8GB 3G but do you get the feeling that you time warp and feeling like it is the Motorola RAZR. PalmPRE just might catch on.
