Now that it’s been a few days since the WWDC and the announcement of the iPhone 3G S, just about everything important is known so I decided to make a video explaining everything I could to help you guys decide whether upgrading is worth the (considerable) cost. Personally I don’t plan on getting the 3G S, as great as it would be to have some very nice specs. I’ll probably just wait until September for the iPod touch 3G, which I’m sure will have the same specs and save myself a few hundred dollars, but of course that’s just my opinion. Definitely leave in the comments what you think about the iPhone 3G S and whether you plan on upgrading, or just buying it outright if you don’t already have an iPhone.

These are the results of a series of tests I did to determine which browser really is the fastest, and although I really wasn’t that surprised, the results still did show a lot. Of course just because a browser is fast doesn’t mean everything, but if you are strictly speaking speed, two browsers blow the competition away.

I also made a new intro and changed the format up a bit, let me know what you think guys.
