What is Apple thinking? I know my iPhone 3G can do video and voice control. But we get neither. I can sorta-kinda understand the video thing, not enough processing speed, blah blah blah. But no voice control? WTF ARE THEY THINKING? They are so obviously cheating us out of applications that our phones are completely able to handle just to sell more phones. Didnt they say they've sold 40,000,000 of them?! Come on give it a rest and stop being so greedy and make the consumers freaking happy!
Got a tip for us?

Its probably something the faster hardware enables...
I'm sure someone will figure out how to get it onto a 3G phone from the dev team or something...
Its a marketing measure to ensure people go to the next generation. We already have people bitching it wasn't enough of a wow update, so why would they give even less reason to upgrade?
So, I guess this is what is coming next..

No, it sounds like the same thing apple has been doing for years, just some people choose to forget, every time.
No Voice control in OS 3.0 iPhone 3G (not S)?
This is utter bullshxt. EVEN MY TMOBILE DASH RUNNING windows mobile 6.1 had voice dial, voice control, and can read back what mp3 was playing in the media player. How can the current iPhone 3G NOT support this?
I truly hate AT&T. GREEDY GREEDY GREEDY company - and MMS is not available? This is just STUPID. No MMS on the 2G is also stupid.

Most likely something left out to distinguish the 3G and 3GS. Knowing Apple, it might me available around 3.2 or 3.3 or so. *shrugs*
There is no reason why it couldn't have this, there are apps for voice dialling (sometimes when driving i use it, although not as good as the official apple one looks it gets the job done). The 3G iphone could do it, i think apple just needed one more feature the 3GS had over current 3G, to make it look like more of a jump in tech. Personally i don't think the new phone is really worth updating over the 3G model unless you love making poor quality videos on a phone. Once 3G's have been well and truly discontinued suddenly this feature will be made available 3G iphone.

seems like it was Apple's decision to includie it on 3GS and not 3G...
Actually, Microsoft has ensured that older generation models always get the same software with new releases, the only setback is that sometimes there's new hardware that older generations don't have, like the squircle. And it's free!
May I point you in that direction?
