Live updates and analysis on Steve Job’s keynote address at the 2008 Apple Worldwide Developers Conference..
Steve leaves the stage… that’s it? What, no Mac announcements (other than Snow Leopard)? No tablet? No new MacBook? Waaaa.
Available July 11th in 22 countries. Steve runs some ads.
New iPhone 3G price: $199 8GB. $299 for 16GB. Also available in white.
New phone will be available in 12 countries at first, with 70 countries total over next several months. (Does the vision of red creeping across the globe give anybody the willies like it does me?)
Google maps again - demo of GPS tracking of a car moving down Lombard street. (hmm, looks like a recorded video).
GPS support now integrated into iPhone.
Better battery life, 300 hours standby, 10 hours 2G talk, 5 hours 3G talk 5-6 hours browsing, 7 hours video, 24 hours audio.
Email demo attachment: EDGE 18 seconds, 3G 5 seconds, WiFi 3 seconds.
36% faster than other 3G phones (Nokia N95 took 33 seconds, and Treo 750 took 34 seconds). 2.8x faster than EDGE. Approaches WiFi speeds (WiFi did the same download in 17 seconds).
3G has much faster downloads. Comparison: 3G finished download of web page in 21 seconds, EDGE in 59 seconds.
Thinner, rounder, full plastic back (black and shiny), solid metal buttons, 3.5 inch display (same), flush headphone jack. “Dramatically improved audio”.
