Found Footage: David Pogue reviews the iPhone 3G


In regular David Pogue style, he has published a half-comedy, half-review of the iPhone 3G. In the video, he shows a side-by-side comparison of the loading speeds of EDGE vs. 3G. It took only 40 seconds for a page to load on 3G, while to took over 3 minutes for the same page to load over EDGE. He also swings by the 5th Avenue Apple Store to speak with the people waiting in line.

I found it funny because what David said is what I've thought all along ever since the iPhone 3G was introduced. Really, I see no reason to upgrade at all. My city doesn't get 3G and my iPhone is the 16Gb version. Actually, I won't even update my iPhone firmware to 2.0 until it has been confirmed that it can be jailbroke. I'm not saying to anyone not to upgrade to the new iPhone 3G, that's your decision to make. I'll hang on to my 16Gb iPhone 1.0 until Apple decides to really put out an upgrade, like 32Gb mem for starters, updated Bluetooth, better camera (with flash maybe and video functions?), cut/copy and paste, decidedly a better battery. Also, does anyone know if the iPhone's 3G antenna is in constant sleep mode until it picks up a 3G signal? Similar to how many cell phones out there turn off the wifi antenna whenever it fails to pickup a wifi signal?

Holy crap, 3 minutes to load? I have never waited that long for a page. Maybe my EDGE connections are just a lot better out here?

Did anybody else notice HOW LONG HIS LEGS were when he sat down at the end? David Pogue is a tall man.

"Half humor???" That's extremely generous. Pogue is no Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. No entertainment value whatsoever.

He's always corny but that was lame and uninspired.
