I can't wait to get one!]]>Jun 8th 2009 3:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/
Seriously? This is what the fanboys were wetting themselves over? The new features are NICE but they're really just icing on the cake for the people who were looking to buy a new iPhone anyways. The better hardware is really the biggest draw over the Pre. And the "fuck you" $10 charge for Touch users (like me) just keeps our will to jailbreak up.]]>Jun 8th 2009 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/
I suppose I should be relieved, since it makes the choice between this and the Pre a bit easier!]]>Jun 8th 2009 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/

I'm guessing this is only a minor step-up for the iPhone line and we won't see a true successor till next year. Today was very boring.

P.S. I don't have anything against the iPhone. In fact, I applaud it for kicking the mobile market in the rear and making everyone realize that they don't have to use the same designs that they have been using for the past 10 years. However, the reality of the situation is that I have the best deal possible on Sprint, and I'm not going to lose it. I've tried talking with other carriers, and there is no way that they can match the deal that I'm getting.]]>Jun 8th 2009 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/Jun 8th 2009 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/Jun 8th 2009 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/
As far at the MP count, 3 is just about perfect for a camera on a phone. that works out to 2000 x 1500 or so pixels. Given the effective resolution of the lens in a freaking phone, more is not really better, it's just more.

Do you really want to print photos from your phone and hang them on the wall or something? 3 mega pixels exceeds the resolution of 90%+ of monitors out there, and the huge majority of people will only be viewing these photos on their screens. More mega pixels is, in practice, just more taking up more space and offering no real benefit. 3.0 MP on a phone is more than enough. What I want is a full frame DSLR with 24 MP for under $1,000.

And no, this is not praising Apple. I think Palm's picking a 3 MP (or is it 2 something?) for the Pre is the correct choice as well.

Besides a 3 MP camera can take really good photos:

I don't consider this spam, just backing up my point.

3 megapixles of good quality is tenfold times better than 50 megapixles of crap. The sensor is limited in size and the pixel density is already too high on those samsung/lg phones. you got alot of noise and no new details in those extra megapixles.

I found the iphone update a great upgrade, time to actually consider buying one. ]]>Jun 8th 2009 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/Jun 8th 2009 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/
I can't imagine many people other than total fanboys running out to get this.

Very similar hardware, identical O/S features to the 3G. Why bother?]]>Jun 8th 2009 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/"For non-qualified customers, including existing AT&T customers who want to upgrade from another phone or replace an iPhone 3G, the price with a new two-year agreement is $499 (8GB), $599 (16GB), or $699 (32GB)."

!?!?! WTF. Guess it's a good thing I was on the fence about upgrading my 3G, cause it ain't happening now. ]]>Jun 8th 2009 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/Jun 8th 2009 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/Jun 8th 2009 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/Jun 8th 2009 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/Jun 8th 2009 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/Jun 8th 2009 3:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/Jun 8th 2009 3:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/Jun 8th 2009 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/Jun 8th 2009 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/Jun 8th 2009 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/Jun 8th 2009 4:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/Jun 8th 2009 5:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/
