Quote reblogged from TMBLG with 22 notes

If there’s a single (hugely impressive demonstration) of the speed and overall power of the iPhone 3G S, it’s this one. When this is going on in my dashboard mount, the iPhone almost becomes a safety hazard. The smoothness and agility with which the map pivots and spins, slyly and slowly as when a road follows a slight bend, or wildly when I bang a U-turn in a parking lot, it almost shocking. It’s not an update-update-redraw-update operation. The map pivots as smartly as the needle on an actual compass. It’s such a slick and impressive feat that I found myself sitting back to appreciate what was going on. “I’m looking at satellite imagery being pulled down dynamically via a 3G connection, upon which a road map is being drawn, upon which traffic status is being drawn, which is constantly moving and turning so that my current location is always dead-center and it’s always turned to face the right direction.” It’s truly one of those times when I’m grateful not to have been born in 1849.
