At the company's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco today, Apple introduced its third generation iPhone 3G S whose features include improved speed and performance, longer battery life, 3 megapixel autofocus camera, video recording and hands free voice control.
The new iPhone 3G S, which goes on sale on June 19th, will come with a new mobile operating system featuring more than one hundred new features such as cut, copy and paste, spotlight search, and landscape keyboard and more.A 16GB iPhone 3G S will sell for $199 while a new 32GB model will sell for $299. The current 8GB iPhone 3G will now sell for $99. In Canada, Rogers Wireless is the exclusive carrier for the iPhone 3G. The company has not yet issued any public statement regarding the new phone in Canada.
Apple says the new voice control feature in iPhone 3G S offers hands free operation for both iPhone
and iPod functions. Users simply speak the appropriate commands into the built-in microphone or
headset microphone to dial by name or number. In addition, voice control lets users play their favorite music by artist, album or playlist and activate the Genius feature by saying "play more songs like this." You can also tell iPhone to pause the music, play the next track, turn on shuffle or ask, "What's playing right now?"
iPhone 3G S also features a new built-in digital compass for navigation. The Compass app shows you which way you are headed and rotates as you change direction. You can orient yourself to true north or magnetic north, and iPhone's built-in GPS automatically displays the coordinates of your current location. The new built-in digital compass is also integrated within Maps, so it automatically orients any map to the direction you are facing.

(6/11/2009 9:09:54 AM) This new iPhone is awesome but I held out for video and radio. Now I will continue to hold out for radio. If iPhone never gets a radio. I will never get an iPhone. I love my cell phone. What kind is it? The kind with a radio. |
