The iPhone 3G S has arrived and with it comes a big challenge to the Palm Pre. On face value the iPhone 3G S doesn’t look much different from the iPhone 3G, but on the inside is where it all takes place.
So how does the iPhone 3G S compare against the Palm Pre asks pcworld, the main difference being for the same price of a 16GB iPhone 3G S the Palm Pre offers a lowly 8GB, and the lowering of the 8GB iPhone price to $99 is surely going to cut into Palm Pre sales.
Oh the other hand, the Palm Pre does better on the data plan front, as AT&T hasn’t reduced their iPhone tariffs, so the Palm Pre wins in that area.
But probably the biggest difference is the iPhone 3G S ability to record 30fps video with audio by simply switching from still to video.
The battle of the smartphones has now begun, which will you opt for?
