iPhone 3G/3GS Speed Comparison

One of the main differences between the 3G and the 3GS is the faster processor and more memory. One of the first thing people notice is that apps load much faster on the 3GS, as shown in this video. Another important point is the 3G/UMTS/HSDPA speed. At least on the O2 network here in the UK, the difference is impressive. Nearly double the speed on average.

This was captured on 09/aug/2009 from live.twit.tv. Ron Schott is showing and explaining the Gigapan robotic camera head. The bitgravity stream failed a few minutes into the recording, so I had to switch over to the Stickam stream for part of the recording and due to this I missed a minute or two during the capture. Sorry for that.
