Push Notifications
Even before the launch of iPhone 3GS, Apple already promised the availability of push notifications on their devices which will provide the alerts from our emails, messages, and other applications that provide announcements. This was mentioned as early as June last year. However, September of 2008 already passed without a word from Apple regarding the promise. Until the new model was released, it was just then when the pledge had been fulfilled.
As you can see from ads and other promotional tools, the price for iPhone 3GS with a 16MB storage capacity will be $199 while the 32GB is around $299. But this does not stop there. There are still plenty of contracts and matters that you need to smooth out before you can avail for a 3GS at the mentioned prices.
Getting into More Important Discussions
Perhaps the most important matters to discuss when it comes to new phones are not really the added apps. Though those are still important consideration, pricing and battery life would still take the top notch in considering a new model.
Other Great Features
There are still lots of added features to the new iPhone 3GS if we compared it to its older version, the iPhone 3G. These developments are brought upon by the iPhone OS 3.0. Though some of these applications are already available for download on other iPhone and 3G versions, we still want to discuss on these added features in relation of 3GS.
Google Maps and Compass
iPhone 3GS also added a compass tool in its application. Though the idea may be quite strange for a cellular phone, its pairing with Google Maps makes it helpful.
Voice Prompt Control
As you find the voice control application of 3GS, you will surely consider it as cool. You might even love it for its availability. Just by thinking about it as it is, you will surely love iPhone 3GS. However, this feature has some limitations and hang-ups after all.
Video
The iPhone 3GS is made even better compared to its predecessor because of another feature which is video recording. The recording capacity of this model is even quite impressive. There are two reasons that make this phone a must-have when it comes to its video functionality.
Spotlight
Another great improvement of the iPhone 3GS over its predecessor is its search abilities. The new model is able to easily locate information even through a long list of contact details through its added feature called Spotlight. This feature is another aspect added through the new operating system of the smartphone.
Copy/Paste Ability
Cutting, copying, and pasting are perhaps the most basic features of any computing device. These are also the reasons why iPhone 3GS is a talked about gadget. Though copy/paste feature is a common and basic ability, it has still been left out by other cellular phone manufacturers, but not anymore with the iPhone 3GS around.
