Monday, June 09, 2008 The new iPhone is here

iPhone 2.0 was announced an hour ago at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference. I followed the action at Engadget - which was great and updated every few seconds with excerpts of the presentation and some nice pics.

So, the new iPhone...

• is 3G (so loads web pages via mobile almost as fast as wifi)
• is lighter (not much)
• is thicker (a bit) Update - or might be thinner, reports vary
  
• has GPS (and a tracker that 'pings' with your current location)
• has a black back (erm, yay?)
  
• features a flush headphone jack (yawn)
• is out on July 11

Six days before my birthday. Perfect.
