iPhone 3G Review and Comparison: iPhone vs iPhone 3g
Most tech products need to evolve or lose their place in the market, Palm is one well know company that has
suffered because of their lack of innovation. Products usually evolve, make significant changes for the better or make incremental improvements over previous generations, the newest iPhone dubbed the iPhone 3G is not an evolutionary upgrade but more of an incremental one. This does not mean that it is not a worthwhile upgrade.
Steve Jobs and Apple’s modus operandi is not to put all the bells and whistles in the 1st or 2nd generations of their products. Instead, they slowly include them through software/firmware updates and model revisions. The iPhone 3G primary goal is to address the wireless data speed that was severely crippled on the first iPhone because it relied on the slower EDGE data network. The newest model is named after the faster wireless network that it uses.
As per the wikipedia entry on 3G: “It is often suggested by industry sources that 3G can be expected to provide 384 kbit/s at or below pedestrian speeds, but only 128 kbit/s in a moving car.â€Â These speeds are closer to DSL than dial up which the first iPhone clearly ran on.
Besides the speed upgrade in using 3G, the iPhone 3G also has true built in GPS. Do these two features warrant upgrading from your original iPhone?
Today I will look at the iPhone 3G and compare it to its predecessor.
Monster iCarPlay Wireless 250
Listening to the iPod in the car is always easier said than done. The most common ways to connect the iPod to a car stereo is with either a tape deck adapter or with a wireless FM transmitter. Most wireless transmitters are hindered by the fact that with enough driving, most empty frequencies end up with some radio transmissions, sooner or later, this leads to the static breakup of ones iPod signal.
Monster has found one work-around for this problem and today, we will be looking at their latest wireless FM transmitter, the Monster iCarPlay Wireless 250. This is the newest mobile audio accessory from the well know stereo cable company. Specifically designed for use with the iPod and iPhone, you can listen to your digital music collection while driving without any hassles.
Besides functioning as an FM transmitter, the Monster iCarPlay Wireless 250 also works as a USB charger. The USB cord detaches from the Cigarette Lighter Adapter and can be used as a transmitter around any FM radio/device. Plus the USB cable can be used as a charger via any USB 2.0 enabled port or with a Monster iSlimCharger or iCharger Travel USB wall charger.
The Monster iCarPlay Wireless 250 uses Monster AutoScan 3D technology, which triples scans the FM spectrum to locate and lock onto the clearest FM frequency.
These are just some of the features of the Monster iCarPlay Wireless 250. Let’s take a closer look at this product and see what other tricks Monster is holding up its sleeve.
