Dialed In 84: iPhone 3G S review

by Kent German

It wouldn't be a week in cell phone land if the Dialed In crew didn't have a lot to talk about. And since it's been two weeks since our last show, you can bet that this episode is chock full of cell phone news and reviews.

Leading off is the CNET review of the iPhone 3GS. We're still getting through the lab tests, but we've combed through the new features in depth. Meanwhile, Bonnie enthralls us with a long list of major smartphone news including Flash Player 10 beta and T-Mobile's second Google Android phone. And elsewhere in the podcast, Bonnie sighs, Kent sings, and Nicole laughs at them both.

The release of iPhone 3GS states that Apple is now expanding its new product. However, the basic application of iPhone is unchanged---we can still use it to play movies or music or MTV. I'm here to recommend you a best DVD to iPhone converter, but i want you to expierence yourself on website: www.pavtube.com. Make it an adventure.
