An fully comprehensive review on the best against the iPhone

If you wanted a good review comparison on the best of smart phones comparing with the new Apple 3GS ipHone, look here: -



See also http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/?p=19800. Well I can tell you that the Google G1 phone is very close with its Andriod OS, but in terms of readily available apps, it is now way near the popularity of the iPhone. I also heard the HTC Touch HD is very close aswell which is tied down with Vodafone, dunno why that isn't on there.

Apple iPhone 3GS is out now!

So the Apple iPhone 3GS is out in the shops today, which coincides with the CES event, and the recent Apple yearly conference show.

What are the key features that improves over its predecessor?

For starters, it begins with either 16GB or 32GB of storage space on the phone.

Its generally faster(hence its notation of S for speed) perhaps via its much improved OS system and circuitry, it apparently is 3.6 times faster to load between two programs running at the same time, and improved RAM which states is 256MB.

Improved Camera which is now 3 Megapixels rather than the basic 2, but it has the funcionality of recording videos this time which is a huge plus, dunno why it wasn't in the first two versions.

And the biggest thing is the voice control where you can speak within the built in microphone to play a song within the music play list or to dial someone by saying their name that's in the contacts list.

The thing I am looking forward to is the Nike + functionality that is supposedly built into the iPhone that can record the distance you have run when you switch on the Nike+ application, just pondering how that works, possibly using it in conjunction with GPS perhaps.

How much is it?

If you’re new to the iPhone then you will need to pay either £87.11 or £184.98 for the 16GB iPhone 3G S (depending on whether you pay £30, £35, or £45 per month). Or you get it free on the whopping £75 per month tariff.

Or if you want the PAYG, then it is £440 for 16GB and £538 for 32GB.

Getting all the fields in the structure Color

If you ever wanted to know how to get all the colour fields in the structure COlor, you can use the following bit of code:

Type t = typeof(Color);
System.Reflection.PropertyInfo[] colours = t.GetProperties();

foreach (System.Reflection.MemberInfo c in colours)
{
// How you would use c, cboxBackColour is a combo box
cboxBackColour.Items.Add(c.Name.ToString());
}

Basically, System.Type class uses the typeof method that can then be adopted to get all the properies within that class using reflection.
