Hailed as the “the fastest, most powerful iPhone yet”, the new iPhone 3G S (“S” for speed) just got copy & paste functionality, three megapixel autofoucs camera with video recording functionality, hands free voice control and a new tethering feature that allows you to use the iPhone’s internet connection on your computer (not yet confirmed to be available on Vodacom).
But all these are available thanks to the new iPhone OS 3.0 operating system, which is actually the most significant update the iPhone 3G S just got. It allows for MMSs, instant navigation thanks to the new built-in digital compass, and the ability for iPhone applications to directly address external hardware.
It looks like we’ll have to wait for it till July … right guys?
