New 3G iPhone 2.0 Revealed?
CrunchGear allegedly has the first photos on the Internet for the new 3G iPhone. According to Network World:
From the TechGear description and looking at the pictures it's definitely thinner than the original iPhone and looks reminiscent of the MacBook Air. Gotta love the multiple colors and the "red" campaign branding. Looks like the "jesus phone" got an exterior upgrade to match it's new internals.
Also, you can do video chat with your iPhone geek pals, but only via WiFi.
Of course, the Internets being what it is, these images could be fake. And the new iPhone could very well not cure AIDS. Stay tuned!
Update: Spysea tells us:
The new models will feature GPS satellite-tracking chips, third-generation (3G) cellular Internet access, better audio, longer battery life, metal buttons and a regular flush headphone jack. The 8-gigabyte model will retail for $199 in the U.S., its 16-gigabyte sister for $299 ? and the latter variation will also come in white. It hits stores on July 11 in the U.S. and 21 other countries, including Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong and most of western Europe.
Now go clean the urine off of your pants, folks.

Eh.

I'll be getting one for free, so I'm not going to look it in its flush headphone jack. I'm sure I'll enjoy it.
Meh. It sounds interesting, but it doesn't have the software library and third-party support of Palm OS so it won't replace my Palm and it doesn't have the size of even my now amazingly out-of-date 30 Gig 2nd Gen iPod so it's not really a good replacement for a stand-alone iPod.
There's some promise here, but until they start coming with space equivalent to iPods it's not going to be able to serve my needs. Then again, I'm amazed at all those people out there managing to cram their stuff onto one of those tiny, ludicrous iPod minis... or isn't it nano now?
the best part about the new iphone...
now you can all join us blackberry users...
your phone will be obsolete every 12 months...
hand over your wallets fuckers!
