Apple claims that the 3GS' battery life is improved: where the iPhone 3G gets six hours of Web use, the 3GS gets nine hours. However, both phones feature the same amount of 3G wireless talk time: 5 hours. Also mentioned during the keynote were the iPhone 3GS' new hardware encryption, integration with Nike Plus, as well as environmental features like arsenic free glass, a mercury-free LCD, and 23% smaller packaging to reduce the company's carbon footprint. However, nobody on stage addressed the carbon cost of thousands of people upgrading to a new iPhone each time Apple upgrades its hardware.

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.
