09 Jul 09 Review: iPhone 3GS
June 6th saw the maximum traffic inflow at the apple iStore not only was an
overheating day, but it also marked the best ever sales day for AT&T stores. The debut was in fact so huge that the phone surpassed launch day sales by almost noon. The most interesting fact is that the iPhone 3GS debut has been bigger and more expected than the 3G. There were days when people were piling up at the apple store well in advance and there were lot of instances when the store ran short of devices.
It really makes us wonder what special features runs inside tha 3GS that makes it this special. It is worth while to quote the fact that 3GS is quicker and faster in its way to access the internet, its remarkable that the web pages are rendered within fractions of seconds. Also, the improved graphic adapter delivers better performance and better gaming experience.
The video features have been improved along with the improvisation in 
graphic rendering. The user can toggle between camera and video mode, there is no need to wait until you get the device connected to the computer, but you can edit the video right at that point of time. And its also easy to share your videos with friends and relatives by making use of the features like MMS, email, etc.
3-Megapixel camera, has an improved quality on the photos being taken and yet another best feature with this is “Choosy Focus“. With a gentle tap it becomes easy for you to adjust the lens of your mobile camera to focus on the object that your tapping on.
Voice control over the new 3GS phone has been very similar to its previous version, this feature has been used to make calls, where the voice feed that we input is being redirected to your contact list and the same is used to make a call. This feature is also used to play your favorite song. Not only the song name but you can also play the song with the album name or artist name. The phone also supports more than 20 international languages.
Your phone can now even serve you as a map, guiding you directions with a highlighted map and track your progress through GPS. These days when its an ultimate challenge to decide the direction which we are facing, the phones built-in compass helps us easily identify the direction we are facing. This feature is a great gift to users who love to freak out and travel a lot.
With a variance of 4 different views (satellite view, Map view, Hybrid View and street view) helps you toggle the maps, routes and directions that you see. The tap features enables you to zoom in and out.
Messaging which is a challenging feature in all touch screen models, has 
easily been overcome in the 3GS. Rotating the iPhone to landscape view helps you view the QWERTY keyboard along with upper space roomed for viewing the message you key in. Cut, Copy, and Paste features are very well implemented in the device and helps you transfer data across applications. Data could also be in the form of text or image.
One of the best features of the phone is the software that helps you find your 
phone incase the device has been misplaced. MobileMe is a service that pushes all your messages, emails, contacts and calendars over air, so this makes your iPhone in perfect sync. In-case by chance you misplace your 3GS then there is a simple way offered, where you can log into me.com, find the approximate location of your device, not only that if incase the phone happens to be in the nearest location than you can always raise an alarm to help you recognize the mobile or send an instant message with which the finder can return your 3GS.
A lot of other features like

Phone, iPod, and internet device all in one, the phone offers – email, maps, and safari. The worlds most advanced mobile web browser. And to learn more better experience the joy of owning the phone.

The problem always has been the proprietary nature of Apple. Everything they do is not universally accepted.
And since they face tough competition from Nokia, HTC and others who have good universal compatibility… Apple suffers in Global markets like India.
