Apple Unveils 3G iPhone, Details “iPhone 2.0” Update

Apple’s World Wide Developer Conference 2008 keynote just wrapped up and all signs point to “awesome" as regards the future of mobile gaming, courtesy of Apple, Inc.

Steve Jobs, as expected, unveiled the next-generation iPhone during today’s kenyote.  This latest iteration is thinner than the current iPhone and offers a variety of improved specs including 3G data capability, a true, integrated GPS, and a flush headphone jack.

  • Standy time: 300 hours (per charge)
  • 2G Talk time: 10 hours
  • 3G Talk time: 5 hours
  • Web browsing: 5-6 hours
  • Video playback: 7 hours
  • Audio playback: 24 hours

The new iPhone features an all-plastic rear enclosure and will be available in both a black 8GB model for $199 USD and a 16GB model offered in both black and white for $299 USD on Friday, July 11th in 22 countries.  Over the next several months availability will expand to a total of 70 countries.

As Jobs demonstrated during the keynote, the new iPhone loads webpages 2.8x faster than the current unit and is 36% faster than other 3G phones (Nokia N95 and Treo 750).  Nearly three times the speed at half the price.

The long-awited “iPhone 2.0" firmware update for existing iPhones and iPod touch units will arrive in early July at no cost for iPhone owners and at $9.99 for iPod touch owners, half the price of the last major update back in January.

    Andy needs to take a page out of Jeff Minter's book and lay down some drippy sky visuals to sex things up a shade. (I've been a little Minter-obsessed of late, so forgive me!)

    I'm way too lazy to have to type in the levels for Cuberunner. Hopefully in a future update it'll be more automated. Cuberunner is still one of my favorite games (MotionX Poker being my current addiction.)

    1. PD

      lol

    2. CoolioKoww

      Uhh...... Copy & Paste??

  3. arn

    @Matt Burris. You just have to enter it once for a particular level, then the level stays there

  4. Noah

    What are some of your favorite level-packs so far? I wish we could rate them on the website so we can know which are good and which suck :)
