After a long hiatus, I’ve decided to bring my blogging days back to full swing. If it goes well, I might even have the chance to start reviewing gadgets FOR FREE and even post it in YouTube.
With a slew of new gadgets coming out this 2010 – like the Google Nexus One and Apple iPad just to name a few, before I start digging into these, I might as well pick up where I left off.
Here we go…
Sometime last, last year, Apple released the iPhone 3G. A chuck full of new features compared to its granddaddy, the iPhone 2G. But with a heck a lot of cheaper parts, if you ask me. I didn’t mind it as much since I had my eyes set on the Palm Pre (I had the Palm Treo 680 for 3 years and never had any problems so why not upgrade to the same brand.) and with my review of the 2G, I felt that Apple could not entice me that easily.
But Apple had other things in mind and with the release of the Palm Pre, they sooner released the iPhone 3Gs with BIG features like CUT-AND-PASTE and MMS (wooooooooooh! sense the sarcasm here?) and they claim that it’s much, much faster than the 3G (I’m assuming the “s” stands for SPEED) yet I didn’t seem to mind.
Jay, my brother-in-law, was much of a gadget freak as I was yet he was sold to everything Apple and could not wait to get his own iPhone 3Gs, which he got for Christmas. Which gave me enough play time to see what’s with the hype.
As expected, my excitement died after playing around with it for a few days not seeing much use of it except for the pretty cool apps like Tap Tap Revenge and Doodle Jump to name a few.
My niece had the iPhone 3G and with both units at home, I was able to do a comparison of both the 3G and 3Gs. The 3Gs is surprisingly much, much faster than the 3G. You know how it is that you never knew you appreciated something better until you’ve seen it for yourself? That’s how I felt with the 3Gs. The 3G was fine and all but after playing around witht he 3Gs, I feel bad now that my niece has the 3G and how much slower it was.
Without needed to go into detail, I would basically pick up where I left off with my rating with the 3G and give it 4.5 GWAPOINTS for better speed and better speed only.
