Apple has posted an updated version of their iPhone Guided Tour...a QuickTime movie that introduces users to many of the functions of the iPhone, with changes specifically for the iPhone 3G. Featuring the gesturing hands of "the introductions guy" (or Bob as he is supposedly called), the guide is a superb run-through of the capability of the iPhone. There's a 30 minute plus version as well as a shorter "What's new" feature of about 10 minutes specifically about the 3G model.
