Major Changes

- Built-in video camera w/ editing
- 3-Megapixel
- Nike+ Support
- finger print resistant oleophobic coating
"if Steve Jobs whipped one out in public before it was announced, you wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. By holding the 3GS next to the 3G, you'll notice that the screen is slightly more reflective because of the new fingerprint resistant oleophobic coating." Jason Chen
Voice Control - recognizes the names in your Contacts and knows the music on your iPod. So if you want to place a call or play a song, all you have to do is ask.
Compass built-in digital compass, iPhone 3GS can point the way. Use the new Compass app, or watch as it automatically reorients maps to match the direction you’re facing.
Extra 3 hours on Video and 6 hours on Audio playback
Buying advice:
If you don't have an iPhone best time to be in the market for one...
if you already own a 3G you should wait, your not missing much except
video recording and improved camera "There are dozens more new features on the iPhone 3G S — but the really exciting part is that older iPhones can get them, too. They’re part of a free software upgrade called iPhone 3.0" Pogue
Apples compares apples;) 3G vs 3Gs

"I also regard these changes as more evolutionary than revolutionary, and I don't think this latest iPhone is as compelling an upgrade for the average user as the 3G model was last year for owners of the original 2007 iPhone." Walt Mossberg
Current iPhone owners can get an improved product by merely sticking with their existing phones and upgrading to the feature-laden new operating system, which is free (it costs $10 for iPod Touch owners), rather than shelling out at least $199 for the new iPhone 3G S. And many new iPhone buyers can opt for the $99 3G model, which is not only cheaper, but also greatly improved by the new OS 3.0." Walt Mossberg
