3G iPhone Announced

Monday, June 9th, 2008

We all knew it was coming but now the 3G iPhone is official and here are a few of the new features:

  • It’s black with metal buttons, looks very similar to the fake shots that were floating around a  while ago
  • 3G (of course) will give faster data speeds than the current EDGE connections. Even faster than 3G on normal phones
  • Better battery life, 7 hours of video, 24 hours of audio and 5 hours 3G talk time.
  • A-GPS for location based computing as well as navigation
  • Enterprise support for Microsoft Exchange, Cisco VPN and MobileMe for the rest of us - Apple’s replacement for .mac
  • iPhone will be available in 70 Countries in the next few months. Rollout starts July 11th
  • MUCH cheaper, $199 for the 8GB version, that’s around £100 if it’s converted directly
  • 16 GB model will be $299 (around £150) and will have a white version

Have a look at Engadget’s live WWDC Coverage for more details
or of course The Apple Store lists it all too
