That's interesting news...I guess I retract what I said about "all" the improvements. Anyway, I'm stuck with a 2 month-old 2 year contract and I don't intend to put a $30.00 data plan on my account for an iPhone only...

The S stands for speed. The new iPhone 3G S is twice as fast as the previous model.

The "S" stands for something synonymous with crap.

S = "suckers who are helping fund the next generation if iPhone"
