So, I’d been wondering about this for a while, but I think I’d like it better if it were correct: I’ve an iPhone 3G and the 3.0 OS update certainly installed the voice recording application, and it does work just fine. Scratch that, I can’t read. No, my 3G does not now do video recording. So, useful list after all!
Btw, I wouldn’t mind doing a speed comparison if one of you out there picks up a 3G S. Given that the 3G is only barely noticeably faster than the original in most real world use cases, I’m rather dubious of this “faster than ever” claim they’re making. There’s a limited number of things one can do with the handset to change that: the network’s throughput is much more important.

I was upgrading from an original iPhone, so I’ve noticed significant improvements all around, mostly in responsiveness after a large screen redraw (the keyboard pop-out was always a bad animation on the original). The 3G comparison videos I’ve seen online seem to indicate that rendering speed in Safari is significantly improved (due to the faster processor), even on the same 3G tower.
Ah, yes, processor I’ll believe (but I’d really have to see it and be rather impressed to think it’s worth it coming from a 3G), I thought I’d heard assertions about data transmission speed, but perhaps I misunderstood. It certainly makes sense coming from an original model.
I’d be happier if they’d actually fix the damn memory leaks in various official Apple UI libraries (stuff from the iTunes store I… well, don’t necessarily blame Apple for). Having to reboot one’s phone once every couple of weeks is really lame.
