Brand New Apple iPhone in 3G!

Hits AT&T Stores July 11, 2008

The 2nd generation Apple iPhone is out and it is quickly becoming the new best phone. With 3G and a real GPS navigation system built it, this new iphone or iphone 2.0 is getting everyone's attention. Today Apple revealed its iPhone with GPS capabilities and 3G - a faster Internet connection. The new quad-band device gives users fast Internet access over tri-band HSDPA. It automatically switches between 3G, Wi-Fi and EDGE, or you can choose whether to keep it on one network. The iPhone 3G makes it easy to multi-task with simultaneous voice and data communications.             This Apple iPhone 3G supports Exchange enterprise and secure VPNs. Its Built-in GPS expands location-based mobile services for tracking applications. Further refinements include improved audio, a flush headphone jack, an integrated camera and Wi-Fi connectivity. It is great how Apple kept the Wi-Fi connectivity and not just substituted it with 3G because 3G is not everywhere and it is definitely not as fast as Wi-Fi connectivity. Wi-Fi with the Apple iPhone2 works wonderfully. Since 3G connection does not exist everywhere, it is great that we have 2 other choices of connections.

Featuring iPhone 2.0 software, the handheld supports Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and runs third party applications built with the iPhone SDK.
Additional features include the ability to do real-time mapping and tracking with GPS technology, mass move and delete of email messages, search for contacts, turn on parental control restrictions or save images directly from a web page.
The iPhone 3G takes advantage of MobileMe, an Internet service that pushes email, contacts, and calendars to applications on the iPhone, iPod touch, Macs and PCs. Items pushed to the iPhone are kept continuously up-to-date. The iPhone 3G's GPS capability is nearly as exciting as the 3G itself. The real killer app for GPS continues to be turn-by-turn driving directions, of the sort that companies such as Tom Tom and TeleNav make possible on other GPS-enabled phones. Hopefully a future iPhone software upgrade, but it would be ok with me if a third-party developer beats Apple to the punch. It is great how the iPhone-like iPod Touch already comes in a $499 32GB version.
