iPhone 2.0: 3G, GPS, Apps, Enterprise, $199
Today at work I found myself reading Mac Rumours Live for the latest iPhone news from Steve Jobs’ 2008 WWDC Keynote, and as expected, he announced the iPhone 2.0, with a huge number of new features:
- 3G network and GPS support
- Improved battery life and performance
- Applications via iTunes (including Spore, Monkey Ball)
- Chinese language input and handwriting recognition
- Support for opening Microsoft Office files
- Enterprise features, including encryption, authentication, email, activesync, exchange, and remote-kill
- The previously announced iPhone API stack
- Improved audio, flush headphone jack
- $199 for 8GB, $299 for 16GB
The Apple Store is touting the iPhone 2.0 as “Twice as Fast at Half the Price,” with an expected release date of July 11th. Also note that if you bought an iPhone after May 27th you can exchange it for an iPhone3G for free!
This is pretty impressive news; except for MMS support, video chat, a red iPhone, 32GB of storage, and a better digital camera, it seems like Apple has incorporated all of its consumers feedback into making a better and more appealing product.
