Here it is. To go along with the new 3.0 iPhone operating system, Apple presents the third generation iPhone. The “S” stands for speed. Though this phone looks just like the iPhone 3G, its all new under the hood. Apple ran speed tests comparing the 3GS to the 3G (while both phones were running the 3.0 operating system). Launching messages is 2.1 times faster on the 3GS, loading a game is 2.4 times faster on the 3GS, loading a page like nytimes.com is 2.9 times faster on the 3GS. Besides a more powerful processor and memory, the new phone sports a 7.3 mbps HSDPA wireless data standard.

Awesome new phone. Just wish Apple didn't signed an exclusive deal with AT&T otherwise I'd buy one. I know you can jailbreak the phones but that's something we shouldn't have to deal with.

I agree if they had opened it up the iPhone would be dominating the whole market. But that's just my thoughts on it.

"The battery will last for 100 recharge cycles, and won't diminish its charge capacity for five years".... I think that's 1000 recharges.
