I want the new iPhone iNow!
Two years ago Apple introduced us to the iPhone. I remember hemming and hawing at the time trying to decide if I was going to buy one. As most of you know, I ended up pulling the trigger and buying the iPhone on the night it was released.
Then a year ago, Apple introduced a faster iPhone that utilized a 3G network to replace the slower EDGE network. Once again I found myself debating whether it was worth it to invest in the new iPhone. But this time around, I stuck to the status quo mainly because the 3G was really the only thing I was missing out on. The rest of the new features were made available through a software upgrade which I was able to get on my first generation iPhone.
It's June and you know what that means
Well it's June and here we go again. At the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) today, Apple announced a major upgrade to the iPhone, dubbed the iPhone 3G S. Perfect timing too I might add. How many millions of us are just finishing our 2-year contract from our original iPhone purchase?
After reviewing the list of new features available on the iPhone 3G S and watching all of the promotional videos, my decision this time around as to whether or not I should upgrade will be simple.
Absolutely yes.
I think I'm even more excited this time around than I was for the first generation iPhone. I wish I could spell out all of the new features that will be jam-packed into the new iPhone but too many others have already done that and besides, I don't want to bore you.
A few features I am looking forward to
But suffice it to say, I am definitely looking forward to the speed boost, longer battery life, upgraded 3 megapixel camera with touch-screen focus, full video capability with touch-screen editing and auto upload to YouTube, cut, copy and paste capability, complete voice control including voice commanding the iPod functions, landscape keyboard, faster loading apps, Spotlight Search, video messaging, Internet tethering, improved parental controls, voice memos and a digital compass that can assist applications using the GPS functions of the phone to determine which direction you are facing.
Whew. And I'm sure I missed something.
When Apple announced a sale date for the iPhone 3G S of June 19th I couldn't believe how soon it would be. I would only have to wait 11 days to get the new iPhone. But now I just found out you can pre-order it.
I don't think I'll see the close of business tomorrow without pre-ordering the iPhone 3G S.
For more information on the iPhone 3G S you can watch the guided tour or view all of the features.
