iPhone 3G vs. iPhone 3GS – The S really does stand for speed.

The thing that intrigued me most about the new iPhone was the ability to take better stills and to record video. When I found out I was eligible for the upgrade, it was a no brainer. In the past few years I had narrowed my mobile devices down to three, I thought the new iPhone would narrow it down to one.

It has.

I LOVE the video recording feature and the stills are usable enough to leave the digital still at home. You won’t believe the sound quality on the video, it’s incredible. However, the thing that blew me away the most is the SPEED of the new iPhone.

When I started to launch apps they were noticeably snappier. The ONLY issue I have had are some intermittent Wi-Fi issues. I’m betting that it’s a power management thing and it will be updated in a firmware fix.

The thing that’s REALLY exciting is the new graphics chip. This will not only improve video recording in future updates; it will also usher in a new era of mobile gaming.

If you’re eligible to upgrade and you’re on the fence… Do it.

Apple has made the ULTIMATE mobile device, now if they will just update Final Cut Pro.
