So a little birdie sent me a link earlier to all the reasons why the new iPhone 3GS is so darn sexy. I usually give a little of my insight in my threads but, today, this speaks for itself...(oh okay, a little commentary by yours truly)
A few reasons why it's so sweet...and more to read here...
1. Accessibility features
Apple has included a number of features that help people with disabilities use the iPhone 3G S. These include Apple's VoiceOver function, which reads aloud what is on the screen, a zoom function that magnifies up to five times, and a white on black display option that provides increased contrast.
(I mean come on, giving power to the people!)
2. It has a built-in compass
A built-in digital compass is another new feature of the iPhone 3G S. We aren't sure exactly how often anyone would use this as a standalone app, but when combined with Google Maps, the compass will rotate maps to always match the direction you're facing. Now that is pretty cool. (yeah it is!)
3. Nike+ iPod integration
Previously only available for selected iPod nano models, Apple's Nike + iPod is a fitness system that involves a Nike shoe communicating wirelessly with an iPod. The iPhone 3G S will be compatible with the system, which displays real time walking or running statistics.
(for the fitness guru in us all some of us)
4. You can talk to it
For music, you can ask what song is playing and hear the iPhone 3G S answer, tell it to play your favourite album, or play similar tracks to the current one.
(sweeet!)
5. It's faster
Apple launched the iPhone 3G S by announcing it has a faster processor, more memory and "snappier performance". Although the iPhone 3G is no slouch, it can be a little sluggish when opening and closing applications. If Apple's demo videos are anything to go by, the iPhone 3G S will be a much zippier smartphone.
(annnnd, sold!)
I'm getting one! at the end of the summer.... I can't wait!
yay! once you have it you'll wonder how you ever did without it...trust me! there's sooooo many things you can do with it now and, now with the new phones, and new upgrades, it's even better.
