Or is it an entirely new phone?

Also, got any experience in PDAs by chance?

Just wait -- we haven't even heard all the features yet. They'll be posted soon, too.

3G loads pages about twice as fast in the live test

faster attachment downloads

3g approaching wifi speeds

built-in GPS

marked improvement in battery life

3g is a wireless data transmission protocol - doesn't mean 3GB...

It is much fasters and thinner than the EDGE 2.5 IPhones.

if by twice, you mean three times


"3G finished in 21 seconds. EDGE finished in 59 seconds."

Built In GPS, hmmmm

3G has great battery life on iPhone. 300 hours of standby, 2G talk-time now has 10 hours (as opposed to 5), 5 hours of 3G talk-time (most phones only have 3 hour 3G talk time), 5 to 6 hours of high-speed browsing, 7 hours of video, 24 hours of audio.

Jobs:
11:31 am56% of people that want an iPhone but didn't get one say it was due to price.

Very interesting he said this right before talking about the 3g.

[DriftyGypsy]

the others didn't want to deal with AT&T

[DriftyGypsy]

Now on to the final challenge -- affordability. Started at $599 for an 8GB iPhone, now $399. The iPhone 3G 8GB will sell for... $199.
$299 for the 16GB -- a white version of this size will be available too.

[ResIpsa]

Now waiting to see storage capacities, and of course price

"56% of people that want an iPhone but didn't get one say it was due to price."
