Out with the old and in the new iPhone

Apple’s iPhone will now be lighter, faster, and more importantly…cheaper.

Chief Executive Steve Jobs says the iPhone 3-G will have thinner edges, Internet surfing will be three times faster, and it will cost one third of the original price.

Experts say the newest iPhone is an effort for Apple to appeal to more people.

Owners of the current iPhone will also get an upgrade on all software—free of charge.

The speed will be faster because the iPhone will use A-T and T’s network opposed to the Edge network it currently uses.

Senior technology writer at business week dot com- Arik Hesseldahl says the new iphone solves the critic’s biggest problems.

Hesseldahl says the 3-G gives them an answer to what was originally the biggest complaint of the original iphone...the connection to the wireless network was slow and hokey because of the edge technology.

Some additional upgrades are improved battery life, built-in global positioning, and more games.

Despite the improvements the iPhone will be missing a video camera, and will not be able to cut and paste—users have been pleading for both features.

There are currently six Million iPhone’s sold in the U-S and with the newest version, experts project Apple will reach its goal of 10 Million sold by 2008.

Also in a move to reach more markets—the new iPhone will be sold in 70 countries compared to the original’s six.The new iPhone will be on sale on July eleventh
