WWDC 2008: TIS’ 3 TO THE G

Let introduce myself. My name is:

And here’s a run down of my newest gleaming attributes (in Marauder’s priority order):

3G

  • 3G speed allows for 2.4x faster downloading speeds while browsing the internet. That’s 2.4X faster you can prove to someone else that you were right.

Less Expensive

  • 6 million iPhones have been sold so far but the barrier still seems to be price. 56% of consumers say that the iPhone is too expensive. –> Price decrease (Woot!)
    • $199 for 8GB, $299 for 16GB with 2 year AT&T wireless plan (unlimited monthly data plan for personal use: $30, business use: $45)
    • Not available online. Only available via in-store at Apple or AT&T. (Oh SNAP!) Click here for information on where to buy.

Longer Battery Life

  • I’d like to personally send this one out to my friend Ryan who I can never reach because his iPhone battery is continuously dead (i.e. the man talks on his phone so frequently that he can never get the phone fully charged.)
  • 2G talk time –> 8 hours (iPhone 1.0) to 10 hours
  • 3G talk time -> 5 hours as compared to 3.5 average on 3G phones
  • Browsing –> 5 – 6 hours
  • Video –> 7 hours
  • Audio –> 24 hours
  • Standby Time –> 300 hours

Business-Friendly E-Mail

  • Push e-mail from Microsoft exchange servers

GPS-Enabled Maps

  • Maps with GPS (in addition to data from cell phone towers and wi-fi locations)

Flush Headphone Jack

  • So you don’t have to buy a ridiculous attachment for your Bose noise canceling headphones. Hott.

Application Store

  • Access to the new application store so you can pimp your ride (cough, cough] I mean phone.

Accessorize Me

  • The 16GB version also comes in white.

Release Date

  • Many thought the release date would fall on the 1-year anniversary of the 1st generation release (June 27th) but it looks like we’ll have to wait just a wee bit longer.

Apple should have the full presentation online by tomorrow but for now, Techcrunch has some interesting cell phone video of the main features.
