Apple continues to be the market leader in bringing technological innovations to the masses and making them accessible to everybody. Since the very beginning they have been changing the way the world views technology. 

With the very first consumer desktop computer they changed the way the world viewed computers. With the first iMac they changed the way we looked at technology yet again, we went from viewing a computer as a necessary utility to seeing it it as an expression of individuality and style. With the Apple iPod the world changed how it listened to music and viewed portable technology. It became a fashion accessory and a status symbol as much as an MP3 player. 

The iPod Touch and iPhone again revolutionized how we look at portable technology, combining many of our gadgets into one easy to use beautiful gem of engineering. Perhaps much of the appeal that the iPhone has is it's ease of use and intuitiveness, even grandparents and non techie people find them to be extremely easy to use. This has always been yet another great feature of nearly every Apple product over the years.

Now the new iPhone 3GS has been released, and it is an exciting upgrade from the labs in Cupertino California. Here is a list of new features and upgrades to the new iPhone:

Processor

Many are saying the "S" stands for "Speed!" in the new iPhone. And indeed the new iPhone 3GS processor is around twice as fast as the previous model running at around 1 GHZ. The best part is that it now consumes even less power so battery life is extended substantially.

Camera

The iPhone 3GS camera is twice as clear as before. It sports a 3 megapixel resolution, auto focusing lens, auto exposure, and auto white balance as well to make sure your pictures are as clear as possible with no work on your part. It also has a 30 FPS VGA digital camera built in that can be edited on the fly and submitted to youtube with just the push of a button.

Wi Fi Internet

Now the iPhone supports the faster 7.2 Mbps 3G standard which means you can browse and download faster than ever over wi fi and the 3G network.

3D Graphics

The iPhone 3GS also has a newer faster graphics card that supports the newest versions of Open GL, which means you will be getting more complicated and fancier games and programs in the near future.

Other Features

Add to these upgrades the new voice control feature, the internal built in digital compass, the much improved battery life, and the new OS 3 update and you've got some pretty amazing upgrades over the previous iPhone 3G!

So all in all the iPhone 3G S is a pretty solid piece of equipment. The ultimate question of many is whether or not they should buy the new version right away... Well, it's not a HUGE upgrade of hardware over the previous version, so don't feel like you have to fork out the hundreds of extra dollars just to score this new version or you will be left in the dust of the stone age.

Many people are excited with these new features though, and they can't wait to get their hands on a new iPhone of their very own. When compared to the Palm Pre, we are firmly still fans of the iPhone for its ease of use, style, usability, and huge growing software library.

Right now, Ebay may be one of your best bets to score a new discount iPhone 3GS if you are looking for cell phones for sale. If history is any guide at all, supply will have a hard time keeping up with demand on this new Apple release and many on Ebay will be offering these new iPhones.

Also, now may be one of the best times ever to get the previous iPhone 3G at incredibly discounted prices since many will be upgrading and have no use for their former phone. Now is the time to score super cheap ipods since the older versions that are still quite good will be going for less and less on Ebay and other online auction sites.
