    In reply to Dolphin Browser Gives Droid the Multitouch It Should've Had From the Start
    If you do have Cyanogenmod, the browser already does multitouch zoom. And I agree, it's really not a big deal -- I always use the double-tap zoom toggle anyway. (I dislike the zoom buttons eating a part of screen real estate at semi-random moments.)

    Because phones, like movie stars, are disappointing if you can't multitouch them.

    I have a question. As many AT&T people probably are, I'm able to upgrade to the 3GS in two weeks.

    At the same time, I also don't want to upgrade too early if there's something better coming down the pike. What's your advice, Giz commenters? Should I wait, or just get the 3GS, knowing that it will likely be just fine?

    @Jeremy: Before deciding to wait for the 'next thing' determine if there is any need that the 3GS does not fill for you. If you can't think of anything, then you probably don't need to wait. It is not worth the effort of getting the newest of everything when you won't use the added features.

    @Hearthatvoiceagain: Because it would have a different model number. I think I remember a report about an "iProd0,1" existing, which means it was probably a very early prototype.

    @Hearthatvoiceagain: I had a dream last night that my local Apple Store went rogue and started selling the MacBook Touch early. It was basically the MacBook Pro with a swiveling multitouch display and had cool three finger gestures to change applications. You know you're a fanboy when you dream Apple.

    @Kerfudle:: yeah, I am plenty happy with the speed of the 3GS, even with multiple apps open it doesn't even hiccup. Though I could definitely go for a refreshed case material (like the Hero) and an OLED and exchangeable /upgradeable battery.

    So, just in case you were wondering if, after three years running, Steve Jobs might sit this year out, give everyone else a chance to "catch up to the 1st gen iPhone", rest assured everyone. Apple will not be pulling an iPhone Snow Leopard.

    The iPhone 3GS came out 8 months after the first field test reports came in.

    Looks like the iPhone version 4 will come out in 8 months or so.

    And it just happened to be in time for me to not be eligiable for an upgrade. On November 7th, I got my 3GS and started a 2 year contract then, couldnt wait any longer for a phone.

    @dagamer34: Actually, there are three tiers of pricing. Full-pop which is in the 599 dollar tier. Then you have "early-upgrade" pricing at 399 which is subsidized purely for the data revenue the plan creates. Finally, you have the 199 pricing which is fully eligible and includes subsidization for Data and Voice components of the plan. The reason people are "always ineligible" for the new iPhone is because of the yearly release. Verizon, ATT and most other carriers rely on a 18 month upgrade cycle (save for any VIP program benefits which typically don't count towards iPhones or Blackberries) and the iPhone launches about every 12 months, leaving people high and dry for about a half a year pretty regularly.
    Yes, I use run-on sentences online, and yes, I am fresh out of AT&T as a sales consultant. Prior to AT&T, I worked for VZDUB.

    @MacPro66: The day Apple put in microSD support into one of their devices is the day that iTunes becomes good in Windows. In other words, it will never happen. I would kill for Apple and MS to give that option on their players, but they don't like it for some reason.

    @Cody Rybolt: The fact that you only picked out the 4G bit when every upgrade I mentioned was farcical.
