The iPhone is a line of Internet- and multimedia-enabled smartphones designed and marketed by Apple Inc. and released in 2007. Apple released version 3.0 of the iPhone OS for the iPhone on June 17, 2009. The 3GS Iphone has improved performance, a camera with higher resolution and video capability, voice control, and support for 7.2 Mbps HSDPA downloading. It was released in the U.S., Canada and six European countries on June 19, 2009. The original iPhone was discontinued with the introduction of the iPhone 3G, which remains available alongside the iPhone 3GS. In many ways, the iPhone 3GS delivers on its promises.

You can get both memory sizes in white or black, and the iPhone 3GS display sports a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating that is supposed to attract fewer fingerprints and smudges. The new model shares the same dimensions as its predecessor, but it's slightly heavier (4.76 ounces versus 4.7 ounces), a virtually unnoticeable difference. The battery, which could sometimes deplete in less than a day on the iPhone 3G, lasted longer in our preliminary tests, and the phone's software ran noticeably faster. Yet, we still have some concerns. The iPhone 3GS includes support for Nike + iPod, which integrates your iPod with a sensor that fits inside Nike running shoes. You use it as a pedometer to track your distance traveled and your pace. When you turn on the app in the settings menu, an icon will appear on the Home screen. The headphones included with the iPhone 3GS also show changes. You'll find controls for using the Voice Control feature, adjusting the volume, answering calls, and controlling music and video playback. A post on their official forum said: 'As a special treat, we are pleased to give a preview of one of the things we have been working on over the past few weeks: TVCatchup on iPhone.
