With the aggressive push of Android and the charm of WebOS rising, the difference maker is just the App Store.

Early diagnosis reveals that the hardware inside iPhone 3G S is capable of running at 833MHz and support 720P video. This makes my prediction of an HD iPod Touch before year and stronger. More information on the make of components and estimates of Apple’s cost would now begin to flow as the whole old gets hold of the iPhone 3G Speed.
