The much anticipated next generation iPhone has been announced by Apple chief executive Steve Jobs.
The 3G device will come with location based GPS mobile services and new iPhone 2.0 software that runs hundreds of third party applications built with the iPhone SDK (Software Developers Kit).
Apple claims that the new 3G connection will be roughly 2.8 times as fast as the Edge wireless connection on the original iPhone. The company also suggested that the new iPhone would run faster than other 3G handsets, claiming that it outperformed the Nokia N95 and Treo 750 by some 36 per cent.
Apple plans to initially release the iPhone in 12 countries, included premieres in Hong Kong, India and Mexico. In later months, Apple plans to expand iPhone’s reach to some 70 countries.
The newly announced 3G iPhone will hit stores on 11 July for the knock down price of $199 (£100). [Source: vnunet.com & siliconrepublic.com]

It’s a good thing I spent $400 on the first one less than a year ago… I just hope this one is worth buying a new one.

I’m still shocked the original iPhone didn’t come with GPS and was $600. Just amazing.

Yes this is much awaited. It will be and excellent phone, although I did enjoy the pricing on the old one. New one is going to be $15 more expensive per month for the same thing. What I really want to know is how long its going to take for zibri to unlock the new 3G iPhone.
