iPhone 3G S: Review and Speed Test (vs. iPhone 3G)

11:24pm on Fri 19th June, 2009 / 4 comments

I was up at 5:30am this morning in order to start queueing for the iPhone 3G S outside my local O2 store - I'm happy to say that I was the first person in the queue and although I had problems in getting a second contract (eventually deciding to buy a PAYG version from the Apple Store) I am now the proud owner of the iPhone 3G S. In this short post, I hope to review a few of the key features as well as giving you some real world stats from tests I've run to show the differences between the iPhone 3G and the iPhone 3G S.

There are a number of web apps that can provide this information but they either require you to login or only work on individual followers rather than all of them. In this tutorial, I show you how to effectively manage your Twitter followers.
