Just as we talked about in the morning the new iPhone is 3G and GPS enabled. Best of all its only $199 for the 8GB version. There’s a wait of 1 month though. A lot of new features, mainly to address the complaints from corporate users. With plans to launch in 70 countries in the next few months I am sure hope Pakistan will get an official carrier too. Is it going to be Mobilink or Telenor? Your guess is as good as mine.

Today at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, Jobs is expected to make the highly anticipated and eagerly awaited announcement about the next generation iPhone. Interestingly till the first iPhone launch, most of the mobile phone and application innovation used to be outside of US (in Asia and Europe). Now that Apple has taken the center stage the expectations are high for the second launch. Developers and bloggers have been writing about the presumptive new 3G iPhone with GPS and whether Apple can dazzle the world one more time. And there are rumors that price will be lower than before.

Based on information from various sources I am quite sure that Location Based Applications will be a primary attraction on the new iPhone.
