3G Enabled iPhone vs. Edge Enabled iPhone
Unless you've been living under a rock for a while, you've heard about those rumors of an upcoming 3G iPhone. But you're probably also wondering why on earth you should even care about a 3G iPhone, or if trading your beloved first generation device for the new kid on the block will be worth it or not.
Well, besides sucking more power from your iPhone battery, the 3G iPhone will give your data speed connection a serious boost that will make this decision an obvious one. Not convinced? Check this video recently posted on Youtube. It shows two iPhones downloading the same webpage. The first one is downloading it through a 3G network, and the second one through the standard Edge network you currently use. Of course, the 3G iPhone is still just a rumor, however this guy managed to connect his iMac to an HSDPA modem (3G), and then used Wi-Fi through it. Clever...
Results? The 3G connected iPhone dowloaded the page almost two times faster than on the Edge connection... Can't wait for the 3G iPhone now! And you?
There must be more to the new phone than just downloading a web page slightly quicker ! If I want to do this I use Iphoneiquity (www.thesmespace.com/smeutils/iphoneiquity) - I think maybe I heard about it here. It compresses any website and formats it for the Iphone, allowing me to turn images on or off. Sooo...give us the news on the features, this is what is really going to sell it to me.
