1)Flash player support 2)Quick back option without going to home screen while switching between apps. 3)File browsing and storing 4)Option to attach images, file etc from email app itself. 5)Multiple signature options 6)Manual rotate gesture option 7)Notes app should be more powerful word process (fonts, text size etc) 8)All Grouping of contacts for test message e.g. friend and family groups. 9)App for grouping key social networking sites(for posting universal photos, text to all social networking sites together. 10) Auto spell check in safari browser (like mozilla) when adding text in twitter, facebook leaving comments at blog etc. 11)Build in Flash in camera for night photo shot 12) Front facing camera for video Chat 13) Use cover flow for using multitasking third party apps (limit to 5 apps, not to drain the battery life) 14)Thin quick time player app to run video downloaded from web. 15)Group notification alert or not attended tasks(missed MMS, SMS, PHONE, Chat message, meeting, event etc)on single screen.

If you listen to the context in which he uses technical terms, you can tell he doesn't completely understand how hardware or even how the settings work. Although, this time, none of the goofs he made makes a huge difference in rendering times, his testing methods aren't very scientific.

I think the 3Gs is a great product for Apple and better than the 3G, but this "test" isn't a good example of that.

Whoever says it’s not worth going from 3G to 3GS then definitely he/she doesn’t value speed or performance.

We all value speed and performance.

We don't all value that to the tune of 400-600 bucks.

“…and has better pipes….”???? WTF does that mean?

You can find out what he means here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_family

The 3Gs uses the ARM Cortex-A8 processor with a 13-stage superscalar pipeline. http://www.arm.com/products/CPUs/ARM_Cortex-A8.html

The older 3G use the ARM1176JZF processor which has a 8-stage integer pipeline. http://www.arm.com/products/CPUs/ARM1176.html

The thru-put of the processors differs dramatically due to the way instructions are pre-fetched, executed, and intermediate results dealt with.

So, long story short, I suggest Rene may know a thing or two more than you do about the hardware in iPhones.

I just wish there was an easier/faster way to turn off Javascript without having to exit Safari. A Toggle to turn off Javascript for Jailbroken devices running SBSettings would be great but as far as i know one does not yet exist.

you load up one site and of course the other device will have BW issues. Same as if I'm downloading a file on one laptop and attempting to load a webpage on another, there will be no BW left. The only way to TRUELY test it is to have both on separate internet connections that have the same BW capabilities.

Although I could make fun of this guy's lack of knowledge of hardware and how he states things, I won't......oh what the heck.

"...and has better pipes...."???? WTF does that mean? The 3Gs comes with copper pipes as opposed to the 3G which comes with PVC?

And possible a matchup between this and a Windows and Blackberry phone. Be nice to see it go against most of the competition.

HILARIOUS MAN!!!1 love it!!

keep up the good work!!

HAHAHAHA

You sound like a salesman.

Absolute Truth.

iPhone 3G S is even beating it when 3G is on Wi-Fi and 3G S is on HSPA

You must have a very small business because most business users would tell you that the iphone is a very inadequate business device aside from browsing the web and the occasional attention grabbing fart app.

Crackberry: 20 seconds (3G S) Vs 50 seconds (3G) - 150% faster / 2.5x Precentral: 12sec (3G S) V 35sec (3G) - 192% faster / 2.9x Tipb: 10sec (3G S) Vs 20sec (3G) - 100% faster / 2x NYT: 15s (3G S) Vs 39s (3G) - 150% faster / 2.6x

WOW!!! My iPhone 3G feels so ashamed... =/

One question, though -- in the forums, several threads have mentioned a clean wipe as a way to improve your performance if your 2G/3G is bogging down. The 3Gs, being brand spanking new, is already in this state, but not, I presume, your year-old 3G. Did you clean wipe your 3G before this test, to equalize that factor, or are those threads mistaken that would have an impact?

Your Bluetooth was ON on the 3G making it lose precious time rendering those graphics and java while trying to find Bluetooth devices nearby. This video is flawed. Better do a new one, no?

Can you do a 3GS vs. Pre? Than would be sweet.

Also, a 2.2 vs. 3.0 Iphone (either 3G or 3Gs) would be nice too.

PS: I'm not getting a 3GS this year. Waiting for the multi-core thing in 2010

Thanks.

The Kevin comment was classic...

In my eyes: absolutely not. Now if we were comparing the 2g to the 3gs then yeah I'm definitely getting a 3gs.
