The iPhone 3GS is here, and faster than ever. It starts up quick, and loads games and websites considerably faster than it’s predecessor. The 3GS has a 600MHz CPU with 256MB of RAM, up 200MHz and double the RAM from the 3G. This iPhone’s voice recognition can be used for dialing numbers and accessing your music. You can say the name of the person, and if there’s more than one person by that name it will give you a list of those people so you can narrow it down. You can also speak the number and the phone will repeat it and dial for you. For playing music, you can specify artists, ask for the name of the song and also get your iPhone 3GS to play similar songs.

The touch screen of the 3GS is oleophobic, basically it has a coating that helps prevent grease from sticking to it. So you shouldn’t have finger print and oily face leftovers on your phone. Anything that does remain on the screen should wipe off pretty easily.

There is a compass app which you can use, and combined with the gps and map should come in handy for lost travelers. You can locate yourself through gps, and the map can orient itself to show which direction you are pointing. The iPhone can also display coordinates.

Another interesting feature is the ability to take movies with the built in camera, and right then and there be able to edit the movie. You can essentially “crop” it just by sliding different bars to select the region you wish to keep. You have several options like saving directly to your Apple 3GS phone, or uploading it to mobile me or youtube.

The MacBook Pro MC026LL/A has a thin, sleek design; this laptop has a hollowed alluminum body. The track pad responds to various multi touch commands. For instance, slide two fingers up or down the pad and you can scroll through whatever page you are looking at. You can also tap the pad once and it will respond as a click, as will physically pressing down anywhere on the mouse pad. Since the MacBook Pro is made of aluminum, it can be quite a shock to wake up and put this computer on your lap, as it can get very cold. At the opposite end of the spectrum, when the laptop is working hard it produces an incredible amount of heat, so your legs can get very warm. The keyboard is nicely backlight, so if you're working in low/no light conditions, you can see what you're typing.
