2. Kinder, Gentler iPhone 3G S Stress TestsIt's become an annual tradition: Apple releases a new iPhone, PC World tries to break it. We did it with the first iPhone. We did it with the iPhone 3G. Now, it's the iPhone 3G S's turn. This year, our torture-- whoops -- coercive interrogation was more mental than physical. Could the phone's Voice Control, Compass and smudge-proof screen withstand the withering pressure? You'll see.
