iPhone 3GS: Speed racer

With the iPhone 3GS in stores for barely one week, it's not a surprise that Brian Tong has made it the focus of the latest episode of the Apple Byte. Some of the nifty features and facts that he has uncovered are surprising. For example, do you know how much faster the 3GS runs compared with the Pre or the G1? Or that you can actually tether your iPhone to your laptop (at the risk of pissing off AT&T)? And how did sales of 3GS compare with the hotly anticipated Pre? If you were able to answer those questions, we have just one more: what does Brian have strapped to his thigh in this video?
