3g iPhone Launched



Apple announced their new iPhone model at the WWDC Keynote on June 9th.The second generation of iPhone will be available worldwide after launch. The good news is the price ... it will cost just 199$, but also the phone is superior in hardware and software. It have 2 hardware new "accessories" : 3G and GPS ... that means it will be a GPS manufacturer killer (in my opinion).

Steve Jobs give us some details about software what will run on iPhone 3G and the most important updates are: eBay and blogging application, BlackBerry-style push-email, security, parental control.

A nice feature in security will allows users to wipe the memory of their device remotely if it is lost or stolen.

Also the popular game Super Monkey Ball computer game from Sega will be available for iPhone 3G.

iPhone users will also be able to view Word documents or Keynote presentations, on their phone, but not edit them.
