no compass

[duramax03049]

got the new 3.0 update. i have a 8gb 3g. ive noticed there is no compass app. is that just for the new s model???

The 3G has no compass so the app wouldn't do anything.

its just for the 3gs

Yes. The 3g doesn't have a magnetometer.

The compass/magetometer (spelling?) is a hardwear upgrade.

No, you don't get the video camera either.

"Setting up the compass app on your iPhone 3g is incredibly easy. First, point your iPhone at North. If you do not know which direction North is, you might have to grab a compass. Then, hit the calibrate button. As you turn your iPhone, the compass will turn too. Note that if you exit the app, you will have to re-calibrate the compass again."
