iPhone 3GS 2-second Review

After upgrading from an iPhone 3G:
  • Wow, this thing is fast.  Navigation, apps, typing.
  • Autofocus camera is very cool.
  • Video recording is even cooler.  And the quality is very, very good.  Much better than I expected.
  • Voice control surprised me by working exactly as expected on first go.  The second and third weren’t quite as expected, but I think that’s because of the strange name of the playlist I was trying to play - “The Iron Game”.  Playing different artists and playlists worked great.
Edit: Voice Control actually really sucks.  I can’t see myself using this.  It only does what I expect around 25% of the time.
