So it's finally been introduced. The new 3G iPhone from Apple. Coming to South Africa somewhere this year... the date we have for now. And it will be selling much cheaper than the first iPhone. $199 for the 8Gb in the US. I think we can get ready for approximately R 3000. Not bad considering it's features.

The iPhone 3G has finally arrived in South Africa today. Looking at the pricing structure from VodaCom you need to go pawn in your granny to be able to afford it though.

So it’s official, the new iPhone OS 3.0 sounds like it would be good. The things that gotten my attention was:

• Turn-by-turn directions are now available to devs. So soon we should see some proper satnav apps for the iPhone
• The 3.0 software upgrade will be free to current iPhone 3G owners
• When asked why they don’t support background processes, their explanation was as follow, and it makes totally sense to me: "We were asked, why don't you do background processing? It's bad for the customer. It drains battery. We've been testing this, and running some background processes on some phones. We took a popular AIM client, and we just let go in the background -- then we measured the standby time. And it dropped by 80% or more." So, they will implement Push technology to help resolve some of the current issues.
• Cut, copy & paste
• Landscape keyboard in Mail and SMS
• MMS
• Spotlight is now going to be included for all the key applications!

Cool, cannot wait to get my hands on it.
