iPhone 3G S

How will Apple's iPhone 3G S compare to the Palm Pre? This chart offers a quick glance at how they stack up.

With last week's launch of Apple's latest iPhone, the iPhone 3GS, the rumor mills are running in low gear on what the secretive computer-maker might be planning for its next cell phone.

New hardware -- and the iPhone OS 3.0 -- make for a powerful combo. And the new 3G S comes in a choice of colors, as long as your choice is white or black.

The iPhone's magic is still there: The crowds turned out to see -- and buy -- Apple's iPhone 3G S early Friday morning as it launched around the world.

Maybe AT&T is getting tired of being the most unpopular kid at school. Bowing to the furor over the provider's pricing for iPhone 3G S upgrades, AT&T announced on Wednesday that it would extend the fully subsidized price of the iPhone 3G S to more customers.

The "S" in the name of the new iPhone 3G S stands for speed, both in the phone itself and how it's being delivered to some customers.

What you should know as Apple starts selling the new iPhone June 19.

The new iPhone 3G S boasts remote data wipe, hardware-based encryption and tethering of the device to a laptop that would seem to please business users interested in protecting data and enhancing productivity. But no, those steps are not good enough for widespread adoption of the new smartphone inside large businesses, four analysts said today.

The line starts here: Both Apple and AT&T have announced details on where, when, and how to get a shiny new iPhone 3G S, when the device starts shipping on June 19.

Between Apple's free OS upgrade, the new next-generation handset, and the heavily discounted 3G, it's decision-time for both devotees and holdouts.
