So, as you may have heard, the iPhone 3Gs has been announced, and it is exciting to say the least.\u00a0 I will just briefly go over the features, and then if it interests you, you can go and watch the tour (see link below).<\/p>\n
Here are some of the more notable new features of the NEW iPhone 3Gs:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0 “S” is for Speed!<\/p>\n
The “S” in “3Gs” is for speed; it’s at least 2X faster than the 3G<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0 Captures video (30 FPS)<\/p>\n
Now you can record video with the iPhone and even edit it right on the iPhone right after you take the video<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0 Improved camera<\/p>\n
– 3MP
\n– auto-focus,
\n– tap to focus (or to change the object that the camera is focusing on in the pic; resets the light balance as well)
\n– improved low-light sensitivity
\n– auto-macros
\n– videos show up in photo library and you can trim them, or share via email, MMS, YouTube, or MobileMe<\/p>\n
4.\u00a0 Voice Control<\/p>\n
You hold down the home button for a few seconds in any app. Commands that you can say appear on the screen and start floating around. Say one of them and it executes the command. Examples: \u201cDial Steve Jobs\u201d, \u201cplay the Lady GaGa\u201d, \u201cplay more songs like this\u201d, \u201cwhat\u2019s playing now,”, etc.\u00a0 Very cool.<\/p>\n
