The iPhone is - by a distance - the most spectacular smartphone on the market. Compared to the iPhone 3G, the 3GS is significantly faster, has voice control, video
recording with touchscreen video editor and the camera now has a 3-megapixel sensor and auto-focus. As is fair to expect from the iPhone's OS, using it all is smooth. And, with 50,000 apps on offer
and the promise of top-end 3D graphics in the coming months, the attraction of the App Store keeps growing. The iPhone is extremely expensive, but it does a huge amount and, crucially, it's fun to
use in the process.
