The 8GB iPhone 3GS Appears Again


Topic:

The 8GB iPhone 3GS Appears Again Technology News, Electronics Buy Guide and Gadget Review We've been hearing rumors of an upcoming 8 GB iPhone 3GS for a while now. So far, none of them have been confirmed by Apple and the old 3G continues to sell. Today though, a German forum (via BGR) presents us with some real, physical evidence of the 8 GB 3GS's existence.

An Apfeltalk user ordered a refurbished iPhone 3G. The device Apple shipped to him, however, came inside the box for an iPhone 3GS. The box label clearly stated that this was an 8 GB 3GS, despite the fact that such a product officially does not exist. The actual smartphone inside the box was an iPhone 3G.

Twitter 360: An AR iPhone 3GS App (With Geo-tagging) Technology News, Electronics Buy Guide and Gadget Review

It's about damn time. Someone finally created an AR twitter app with geo-tagging. With the new Twitter 360 app, people with the iPhone 3GS will be able to see a virtual stream of tweets, displayed over where the tweeter is actually positioned. Because it relies on the built-in compass, this app is only compatible with the iPhone 3GS.

TheNextWeb states that this is the first AR Twitter app to use the geo-tagging feature. This allows different utilities like "Locate my Friends", which lets you track the position of all of your nearby friends. Whenever a certain person is selected, you'll be given an arrow showing the direction and the distance of that friend. The distance updates in real time.

8GB iPhone 3GS Rumors Continue


Topic:

8GB iPhone 3GS Rumors Continue Technology News, Electronics Buy Guide and Gadget Review

We've been hearing scattered rumors of an 8GB iPhone 3GS for the last couple of weeks. Rogers Wireless has accidentally leaked information about a budget 3GS twice; once on its internal sales list, and once on its website. Both times it came out and denied that there was an 8GB 3GS on the way, citing both of the leaks as simple errors.

I didn't buy that rhetoric then, and I'm sure not going to buy it now. Boy Genius brings us information and a screenshot of a product titled, “IPHN8BLKR 3GS GSM” on the SalesCentral website. They also have inside information from some Rogers employees who claim to have seen several references to 8GB 3GS's over the last couple of weeks.

We've been hearing rumors for a few days now that an 8GB 3GS iPhone was on its way, destined to be the replacement for the 3G at the $99 price point. Of course, this is extremely exciting news, especially for anyone looking to get a budget smartphone. Selling 3GS's at that low a cost would give Apple even more of an edge than they already have.

Early today, the Rogers carrier's website posted an iPhone comparison that listed the 8GB iPhone 3GS where the 3G would normally be. You can check out a screenshot of the features comparison on AppleInsider. Unfortunately, the slip has already been fixed by Rogers.
