iPhone 3G S Voice control
Apple revealed the new iPhone 3G S recently, providing support for copy and paste (why wasn’t it there already?), Video capture (which also allows direct posting to YouTube), faster load times for apps, and voice control allowing shuffling between songs, genius playlist creation, etc. I’m going to have serious technolust after the June 19th release of the 3G S.
Yes, technolust is a real word if it’s defined by Urban Dictionary (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=technolust). The quote under the definition even has “iPhone” in it.
Anyway, Philip Schiller, working for Apple as a worldwide product marketing specialist, revealed the new model at the Apple developers conference in San Francisco, saying “The ‘S’ in the new iPhone stands for speed as we have made some significant improvements to the phone in both hardware and software.”
Apple did listen to many of the complaints of the current 3G model owners regarding everything from battery life to storage space. The new phone comes in either 16GBs or 32GBs, double it’s predecessor.
While this new phone looks cool, I think I’ll probably settle for my current 3G model. I’m jealous of the auto focusing camera and all, but even if I wanted to fork over the $200 for the fancy MMS supporting, YouTube uploading, Voice Controlled device, I’m probably locked in to AT&T’s plan for another year or so. You just shot yourself in the foot there AT&T. Yes, it has longer battery life, yes, it even has a compass and a search engine that searches the entire phone, but I’d be willing to bet just about anything that there will be another model next year that’s even better.
Still, if anyone has an extra $200 or $300 bucks lying around, I’d be happy to take it off your hands and go get myself one of these.
