With fast 3G wireless technology, GPS mapping, support for enterprise features like Microsoft Exchange, and the new iPhone 3G puts even more features at your fingertips. And like the original iPhone, it combines three products in one - a revolutionary phone, a wide screen iPod, and a breakthrough Internet device with rich HTML email and a desktop-class web browser.It redefines what a mobile phone can do, again.
It allows you to enjoy music and video on a wide-screen display and shop for music with a tap, you can make a call by tapping a name or send a text with the intelligent keyboard, also browse the real web, get HTML email, and find yourself with GPS maps.
Each unit's top preserves the same headphone port, SIM card tray, and Sleep/Wake button orientation found on the original iPhone, except for a couple of differences.
The headphone port is now flush with the iPhone 3G's top so as to avoid the need for recessed headphone port adapters, and the Sleep/Wake button has shifted in color from black to silver. On the bottom are the prior model's Dock Connector port, as well as redesigned speaker and microphone holes that no longer use the 23-hole grilles found on the original iPhone.The iPhone 3G will indeed support the collection of apps available through the iPhone SDK--no surprise here.
Gaming apps should feature prominently; many will integrate with the phone's accelerometer.Map with GPS helps you to find your location, get directions, and see traffic - all from your phone. Maps on iPhone 3G combines GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell tower location technology with the Multi-Touch interface to create the best mobile map application ever. Just like Google Maps on your computer, Maps on iPhone lets you switch between map view, satellite view, and a hybrid view of both. Multi-Touch makes the difference: Tap to zoom, pan, and change your view on the move.
The next-generation device is thinner than its predecessor and will also run on the 3G mobile phone network. This will allow users to surf the internet at faster speeds than is currently possible on the original iPhone, which uses slower Edge technology. It will also feature built-in GPS technology, which will enable users to use their iPhone as a satellite-navigation device both in-car and on-foot using Google Maps.
