New Apple iPhone 3G

Just watched the full keynote from the Apple WWDC introducing the new iPhone 3G. This is going to take the world by storm IMO. Apart from having a few nice new features it also includes a GPS. Would seem like the ideal platform to port some of the Astronomy apps. Apparently it is fairly easy to do too - so before long we might have Stellarium, etc available for it. Should be good!

As mentioned in the keynote quite a few times "its gonna blow the competition away". Well maybe not, but for once the hype does seem to have substance. Apple are really leading the way in quite a few areas these days. Wish M$ would take a sandwich from their picnic basket.

I'm actually glad they never released the previous model here, as I might have bought one, and the new model will be much better.

The keynote (link on Apple website) is well worth a watch if you have the time - but it is long.
