What exactly.. is the 3GS capable of doi ...

Like what would it be able to play at max graphics? Sonic adventure? Resident Evil code veronica? Maybe Low end dreamcast? What?What exactly.. is the 3GS capable of doi ...
What kind of question is this? iPhone is a device with applications and games designed specific for it, there are no graphics settings to choose for. It has its own OS loosely based on Mac.



P.S. It is so powerful that if we put its parts in PC it can max out Crysis! :PWhat exactly.. is the 3GS capable of doi ...
yeah this question is hard to answer. First of all you can interpret it in different ways.To see all the cool things the iphone 3gs is capable of, have a look at some of the iphone commercials over at www.apple.com. They advertise programs like finding nearest restaurants, getting gps-directions, finding hotels/movies, opening your car, playing games, conference calling, app downloading etc.
Graphic wise, look up some vids of games like: Heroes of Sparta, Gangsters, Asphalt 5, and the soon-to-come, highly anticipated Nova.Ofcourse these are just some of the best games out now, the iphone 3gs has only been out for a month or 4/5. And since it pretty much always takes developers 1 or 2 years to really max out all the graphical possabilities of a platform, the Iphone will most likely see some improvements in the game department aswell.
Why are you directly comparing this to Dreamcast games? :?

Here are some screenshots from current/upcoming releases that I think show off some of the better looking graphics we've seen so far:RavenswordResident Evil 4Modern CombatAce Combat XIN.O.V.A.NFS ShiftOf course, none of these games is 3GS only. Some of them play the same on all iDevice versions, and some enhance graphics, draw distances, textures, ect depending on the deice you own. I would imagine in another year, we'll see many more games pushing the 3GS's cababilities further.
Wait, NFS Shift is on iPhone? Is it 3GS only or does it work with 3G as well?

I don't think there are any 3GS-only games. The hardware is 99% the same other than a faster processor.

And double the RAM. 3GS has 256 vs 128 of 3G. There is a good possibility of 3GS only game.

Hm, and apparently OpenGL ES 2.0...So yeah, it is totally possible to create a 3GS app. Interesting...
Which I'm sure eventually Apple will try to have devs phase out the older ones to get people to buy new phones, its already happening to the original iphone as a lot of firmware updates with new features are listed as 3G/3GS only features.

Umm its actually completely different. It has a cpu that's almost twice as fast, twice the amount of RAM and a completely different gpu. I don't really see what else could be different about it....



And there are in fact 3gs only games and there are games that are enhanced for the 3gs.
It has an updated graphics card, as does the 3rd generation iPod Touch, so it can handle more powerful games than the iPod Touch.
No idea. But its improved processor and double the amount of RAM compared to the standard 3G means it should have the horsepower for better stuff. But how that will be utilized is debateable, primarily depending on how much a programmer would have to cripple it in order to be able to run on the original iPhone and standard 3G.
