Apple Iphone 3G - TV Ads (High Quality)

Apple has finally lifted the lid on the highly anticipated 3G incarnation of its iPhone.

Apple co-founder and chief executive Steve Jobs made the announcement on Monday morning at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco.

Known simply as 'iPhone 3G' the handset will feature a faster 3G wireless connection along with a new look and lower price tag.

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 outperforms the Nokia N95 and Treo 750 by some 36 per cent.

The iPhone 3G will also feature support for GPS hardware, a curved all-plastic backing and a flush headphone jack rather than the recessed jack that limited accessory options with the original iPhone.

It will also add a new colour option, allowing users to purchase a white model rather than the classic black.

When Jobs first spoke of a 3G iPhone last summer, he cited battery life as a major hurdle. The company appears to have overcome that problem, packing a claimed 10 hours of 2G talk time and six hours of web browsing into the handset.

Apple plans to drop the price on the 16GB iPhone 3G to $299, while the 8GB iPhone will cost $199, roughly one third of the price for the handset on its release last June.

The iPhone will be released initially in 12 countries, including Hong Kong, India and Mexico for the first time. In later months, Apple plans to expand iPhone's reach to some 70 countries.

For the initial 12 countries, which includes the UK, Apple will make the iPhone 3G available on 11 July, slightly more than a year after the first iPhone debuted in the US.

"As we arrive at the iPhone's first birthday we are going to take it to the next level," Jobs proclaimed.

"We have taken everything we have learned and more, and we have created the iPhone 3G."

I have both N95 and iPhone 3G...

iPhone 3G surfs web a bit faster than Nokia. Also, the fact that it's a full browser makes it a bit better...

Well I won't comment on the N96, but I do wish Apple were a bit less arrogant, not only in their ad campaigns but in general. Sure, the iPhone is good, but they're claiming they are the best and can only be beat by themselves in the mobile industry. Even if this were true (which it isn't), such a campaign stating this is of poor taste, as bad as those car commercials deeming X car as being forged by Thor's hammer and powered by Zues' lightning.

2.4x faster than EDGE is for AT&T (America).... In America we have very slow data network compared to the rest of the world.... So 1.2mbp/s is pretty fast! :)

There was a iPhone review in some IT-magazine some time ago. I don't remeber right now what it was. Just use google and search that article. Anyway they discovered wery slow 3G-speed when they used iPhone3G. When they used other 3G-capable phones they got several times faster transfer speed using the same 3G-connection.
