| Introduction | ||||
 This isn't your standard iPhone 3G S review. We're not interested in call quality, the App Store, or any of that. Long before the iPhone 3G S was available, everyone was speculating about the new features. One of those anticipated features, video recording, actually panned out. We're here to pit the latest iPhone against similar pocket-sized camcorders. Apple sold more than 1 million units on the first weekend. We want to make sure you can rely on the iPhone as a decent camcorder. |
