iPhone 3G Tech, Specs, & Apps!

Apple's new iPhone 3G is available with lines out the door of Apple and AT&T stores around the world, but is the new iPhone a big enough step up from the original? Let's take a look at the good on the new iPhone. The iphone 3G is a lot faster when browsing the internet than the original iPhone, which relied on the pokey EDGE Network when it wasn't connected to wireless access point. With 3G mode is enabled, you can easily see between 300-500 K down, toasting the original's download speed. The iphone 3G even sounds better, providing clearer call quality than the original iPhone, on both 3G and GSM mode. The physical design of the phone has improved as well, with the headphone jack now flush with the device instead of being recessed as it is on the first iPhone. This is a big deal, because it means you can use any pair of standard headphones to listen to your tunes without an adapter, as opposed to the first iPhone, which required you to use Apple's specially designed ear bud headphones. And the 3G's GPS features are also impressive, instantly plotting your location when you're lost and utilizing Google maps to give you directions to your destination. The 3G does not give you turn by turn voice directions yet, but apple or a third party developer might offer that feature soon. This brings us to the new App store, one of the coolest things about the 3G, which is also available as a downloadable software update to the original iPhone. Now you can download all kinds of Apps for the phone created by third party developers, and we'll talk about the best and worst in an upcoming segment. Stay tuned. In the next episode, we'll talk about the negatives of the new 3G... and there are a few. I'm Marc Gittleman for TekieTV.Com. Keep watching for more news, reviews, and tips for the best new high tech gadgets on the market. Distributed by Tubemogul.

@Skillfullnewbee HD2 IS a pice of shit...the screen is uncomfortable and rediculous.. the contrast ratio and colour depth are HORRID.. that phone is a FAIL HTC pretty much admited that by working on EVO4 soon after the released HD2.. HD2 got HORRIBLE reviews..by the way u say i phone sucks.. what other phone can u use to play Nintendo 64 Games at 60fps with a Wii remote? thats a FRACTION of what iphone can do.. solely due to the fact that it has the whole underground Jailbreak community at hand.
