iPhone 3G S Vs. 2G iPod Touch - Fight!

AppAdvice.com writes:

"The iPhone 3G S is supposed to be fast, we get it. That's what the "S" was tacked on the end for, it stands for speed. So yeah, it's fast, but how fast is it really?

The iPhone 3G S is faster than any other Apple portable device and you will notice it right away, that's what lead me to my little experiment. I wanted a visual representation of just how fast the iPhone 3G S was. I chose to pit my 32GB 2G iPod touch against my new 32GB iPhone 3G S. As you may or may not know, the second generation iPod touch was the fastest device before the iPhone 3G S came along."

The speed truly is astonishing.

I just got my 3GS and the first thing that I tested was Peggle, 2G vs 3GS. The speed increase has relieved any doubts that I had in my mind.

dubbalubagis6188d ago

Agreed. Apple promised speed and they absolutely delivered.

GEESE6188d ago

Do you think appple will do th 'usual' and release an even better revision of iphone 3gs in November? Or is this it for another year?
I want the 3gs, but I could hold on another 5 months or so if they bring out the rumored OLED screen version.

jkoz6188d ago (Edited 6188d ago )

Apple has never released any hardware upgrades for the iPhone product line in November. That is the iPod/Macbook line. Each phone has had about a year's life on the market. June/July is the time for iPhone revamps. So you'll be waiting until June(ish) 2010.

Having upgraded from my "2G stinker," I can tell you that it's an absolute delight. The speed is phenominal, the 3G and GPS are also new for me, as well as the MUCH louder speaker (either I blew my 2G speaker or this one is 200-300% louder on the 3GS). Plus, we have the compass, better battery than the 3G, and if you swing for the grandstand, a whopping 32GB of storage (I did). And don't forget the video recording, and Nike+ is also now included, which I will try to take advantage of. New graphics chip and double the ram certainly contribute to the increase in speed. Also, my lock button at the top is acting up on my 2G, so I'm glad to have this replacement come so timely.

WTF!? they only compared the speed.... if thats the only difference, is double the speed worth upgrading??

Flare1496188d ago

No, that's just what a lot of people are focusing on. There is the video camera, voice control, better GPS/maps, a new CPU, larger HD space, and a new 3D graphics chip

Probably down to the high cost of gaming. Controllers and racing wheels can cost as much as consoles.

Reaper22_45d ago

This is why there will always be competition in gaming. The possibilities to make huge profits is just too enticing.
