Location Based Applications Primary Attraction On New iPhone
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.
