I have been following this new iphione 'story' for ages, and when i saw yesterday the new iphone... well, lets just say I was disappointed. All this hype, and for what - a slightly better pixel rating.... woohoo! lol
The new iphone 3GS (s for speed) has just been designed around a bigger ram so that apps open up quicker..... but to be fair, if ya just remove alot of the crap apps you have still on ya iphone 3G, your original iphone will be just as quick. It has already been report on numerous sites that the ram wont come into its own until such time as you have filled all 32GB of memory.... now who is gonna do that?
So lets just take away the ram and the additional pixels and what do we have..... a 3G with the 3.0 firmware. Sorted
The money that it is costing at the minute will drop down in a couple of months anyway. Apple just want as much money from the impatient iGeeks as possible. Once the initial 'urge' has gone, so will that horrendous price tag!
The 3.0 software on a 3G is seriously sufficient enough to pass anyones concerns. And if the video camera is really that much of a concern, just JB it. Ive run video recording on my 3G for ages!
If the 3G was so 'old news' Apple would not have used it to present the 3.0 upgrade all that time ago. The 3GS is simply a 3G with better camera and with the 3.0 built in as standard.
Roll on June 17th tho as I will definately be upgrading my firmware and also jailbreaking it straight after.... Don't you just love crooked beta testers
