I haven’t watched the keynote yet, mainly because of the time difference living on the other side of the world and having to get up and go to work today. As expected they showed off the ‘new’ iPhone, by ‘new’ they mean updated not ‘new’ like it was last year.
iPhone 3G S …is for speed
Yes there is the the new 3.0 iPhone OS, yes it now comes with32GB of storage, yes the camera is better and has focus, yes it shoots video, yes it has a voice recorder, yes its faster (about the only thing I find really interesting) and yes it has a compass (woo…). But.
The camera is ‘only’ 3.2MP, and while this what I was expecting, and it has to be better than the current 2MP I still feel let down. Nokia have been squeezing 5MP cameras into their high-end phones for years, as have Sony, and Samsung recently upped the ante shoving a 12MP camera into is latest phone. Sorry Apple, but for your “most advanced phone in the world” 3.2MP is a little lame. I’d love it if my iPhone could replace the need for carrying around a decent camera to take happy snaps (which I don’t currently do because my digital camera is too bulky), maybe the 3.2MP with auto focus will cut it, maybe it won’t.
