Your Editor in Chief may not own an iPhone (yet, thanks to a screw-up with my account at Rogers Wireless) but if you do, HAINSWORTH.COM will automagically recognize you’re surfing the site from your wizbang gizmo using the Safari web browser and reformat everything to accommodate a more Cupertino-like experience.

The red circles with numbers next to the dates indicate the number of comments our 4.5M viewers have made to each article.

And at the bottom of each page there’s an option to turn off the iPhone experience to view the whole site as the gods and nature intended.

Oh, and this works for other smartphones, too. If any other exist.

It was always about the camera. The iPhone 3G and its first generation couldn’t hold a candle to the camera on my Sony Ericsson K790a. The lack of a proper xenon flash is a big disappointment, but truth be told: I found the flash washed out the image most of the time anyway, so it was usually off.

Interesting to note what the rumour mill accurately churned out. HAINSWORTH.COM readers accurately predicted the likelyhood that the majority of the rumours reported here would be true.

The Apple online demo video ends with “The fastest iPhone yet.” And you know what that means: another model in a year. I’m sure by then the video recording will be high definition, there will be a proper flash, and maybe even a dedicated camera button. A forward-facing camera for video calls was one of the rumours too far-out that HAINSWORTH.COM didn’t bother to report it — and wisely so, it seems. But surely the next generation will support this, too.

iPhone 3GS in Canada announced via Twitter: http://twitter.com/keithmcarthur

Rogers Wireless in Canada announced the June 19th availability of the iPhone 3GS via Twitter.

The 16GB iPhone 3GS will retail for $199 with a 3 year voice and data plan while the model HAINSWORTH.COM will be going with is the 32GB for $299. Here’s hoping my existing contract and 6GB $30/mo that I’m using for my EDGE-based phone will be honoured.

Further, if you’re a Rogers Wireless customer and don’t qualify for a subsidized upgrade, you can buy the thing outright, although the price wasn’t tweeted as part of the report.
