“It would be painfully easy to say the iPhone 3GS, released last month, is just a better smartphone than any of its rivals, rattle off the assorted features and leave it at that,” Mark A. Kellner reports for The Washington Times. “The numbers, however, tell a greater story: In its first three days on the market, according to an Apple Inc. announcement, the iPhone 3GS sold 1 million units.”

“The simple fact of the matter is that the iPhone, now represented by the 3GS model as the flagship, is a superior smartphone product, one that outranks just about everything else on the market by a wide margin,” Kellner reports.

MacDailyNews Take: Remove “just about,” as the wishy-washy Kellner gives no example of any other device that ranks higher. Why write something, Mark, if you don’t mean it and/or utterly fail to support your words?

Kellner continues, “There’s enough new here to make the iPhone 3GS worthy of consideration by any current iPhone user, and more than enough to make it a highly compelling purchase for anyone without a smartphone”

“Indeed, while some are deriding what they see as ‘incremental’ changes in the iPhone, I would suggest this is enough of a breakthrough product to not only keep Apple atop the smartphone market, but also to help cement its position there for quite some time to come,” Kellner reports. “The 3GS retains the ease of use of the earlier iPhone models, builds on it and adds useful features that will attract wide attention.”
