According to a new Twitter post, it appears Apple has dropped the space from the iPhone 3G S making it the simpler 3GS (no space).
This is not earth shattering news, obviously, but it is a welcome move to the tons of journalists out there right now which have been somewhat confused by the naming scheme.
Apple?s Greg Joswiak says it is now 3GS however, which should make for added confusion ... [ read the full article ]

LoL! I still don't know what the "S" stands for. But it will add confusion. They should've named it 3G C or something else... :-P!

Me three...It really doesn't have anything the 3G didn't have, except the camera and "bigger" flash drive. I really think there's no big need to upgrade. Besides, all of the features they added are software-based and are easily accessible with the 3.0 firmware.

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"
It's a good thing we have a lot of S's, so in about year we can have a better phone.
