The last in our current series on Apple's deceptive 3G iPhone ads, in which Apple purports to demonstrate "What exactly is 3G" and shows a blazing-fast phone that apparently bears little resemblance to the ones you can buy in the real world.
Boston's Rob Reed, who put together the previous test videos, has now added a third. This latest one tests the 3G iPhone running Apple's new faster software upgrade, firmware version 2.1 (see video below).

Conclusions:
- Firmware 2.1 makes the phone run 11% faster than the previous version.
- The phone in the ad is still 3.5X faster than the one in the real world.
