So am i to understand that at this point i have bought 2 different versions of the iphone and now i would have to buy a 3rd to get the official video recording capabilities? that’s BS. I know that i can use cycorder but this is just greedy that they keep stringing us along as if its gonna be a software upgrade.

Agreed. What an absolute load of BS! So I started with a silver brick, then advanced to the 3G and now i have to buy a 3GS? Nice one Apple.
Why is voice commands a 3GS feature, isn’t that something that is only software? Why can’t that be available on the current 3G?

u know what makes me mad? is that they could have SO EASILY put a 5MP camera but Nooooooooooo, instead they just settle with a 3 MP camera.
And i haven’t read anything about an attempt to update the SPEAKER, i really hate it that it sounds like some one is spittin out the bottom of my iphone when i put some hip hop music with some bass on.
I love the iPhone really, i do! But its those tiny stuff that would really make it top notch!
Anyway can’t wait to try the “3G S”.
