And some pics from the speech


Oh... and it could sell here for just about £100-£150

so the iphone 1.05? by the sounds of it they done a bug fix in makign a few things better and improvign the battery life. other wisae it's just re-selling an old product under a new name.

Huh? The iPhone 1.05 was a software update for the first one...

lol well thyv dn more thn most phone companys between modles lol all thy do is change the cam n the case n sell it 4 £100 more

It's technically the iPhone 3G, but seeing as that could be confused for a 3rd gen iPhone (it's second gen) due to most other apple portable products using XG notation, most people refer to it as the iPhone 2. 3G is a major advancement for it, and the lack of it was a huge flaw in the original.

However, to me, it's kinda boring.

All people want to see now is... have they shifted up the contract to match the lower phone cost

It gets released on the day I leave the country for 2 weeks. Cool

I don't think I will upgrade mine.

Its called the Iphone 3G and looks exactly the same. Point of releasing a new one???? Money....

It's 3G rather than 2.5G (it's something to do with the inbuilt internet, makes it much faster). It also adds GPS and other stuff. Plus it does look considerably different aswell, it's got a curved back and is black.

Personally, feature improvements are more important that changing the looks, and it's adding more than most iPod revisions...

I've not got much of a reason to upgrade since the 2.0 firmware will be made available to the original iPhone also. So I get the third party applications and modified bits and bobs also, just no GPS or 3G, which I can't say I'm missing much anyway. GPRS and EDGE browse this forum at a decent speed when I'm at the train station in the mornings...

Yeah, it's not a necessary upgrade, more of a better phone for people buying a new phone. Or Apple fanboys who buy every gadget they release.

Aaron... with your prior experience in this... how suitable would iPhone2 be for me as a smartphone type device?

They are very good! But they crash a lot and today mine was overheating in my pocket, so much that it was starting to burn my leg. When I got it out my pocket it had 25% battery, but only a couple of hours before it woke up from a 100% charge. Odd..

What do you think of that app for it. Pretty good!
