I’m blogging again because I’m blah with work. You know those days where you spend five hours on one part of the project only to find that the bug is on another part? And you are using some really exotic hardware arrangement where you can ONLY find in Building A when your development board is in Building Z and of course you won’t have a debugger.
Well I’m exaggerating. But you kind of get the idea.
So back to the story. I’ve been checking out the iPhone 3GS. And I’m thinking of the things I like / and dislike about it.
(1) Looks
Well, I really like my iPhone 3G in White, and I didn’t expect it to shrink the phone to half the size because of the size of smartphones so far. I still think its a little to fat for me, especially with the cover. Maybe for the next iterations but not for now. I can imagine if there was an iPhone 4G that would be the case to switch, but if you have a good formula, why change it? (It should come in baby pink though, and put Swarovski and price it at twice the price – I know someone who will buy it)
(2) 3G S
I want this for the speed. But S goes for both Speed and Slow, depending possibly on your carrier. To me, its not a big jump, but its nice. I run Sims 3 on the iPhone, Metal Gear Solid, Monopoly, etc without any problems.
(3) Compass
This is a very nice thing to have – right now the problem with Google Maps is this. I have two points on a map, and it has a pin. Which way does one actually go? Left, Right? Forward, Backward? You only know when you move, which is horrible if you are attempting to cycle. Bad bad bad. TomTom has shown their new directional application – with no price included – I expect alot. But people will buy it.
(4) Videos. 3MP.
Okay, this isn’t that great a thing. 3MP Camera isn’t that great either. But I’ve had very nice results for the 2MP camera, I use it even more than my normal Sony Camera.
(5) Nike +
I really want . this .
(6) Well…
I guess that’s it isn’t it? I say if you haven’t gotten an iPhone, and despite my apprehension in not wanting one, now I cannot imagine not having one. But if you are already holding on to an iPhone 3G, its not exactly worth it for the tweaking of what should have been there. Besides with the SDK 3.0 being released on the 17th June, you’ll already get a nice bang for your buck.
