As many already know, Apple CEO Steve Jobs introduced the new iPhone 3G to replace the currently out of stock iPhone that was first introduced nearly a year ago. Pictured here, the basic design of the new device is remarkably similar to its predecessor but features a new glossy back in black for both the 8GB and 16GB versions, but also is offered with a glossy white back for the 16GB version. The keynote presentation, which can be viewed here, kicked off the 2008 WWDC was heavily centered around the iPhone 2.0 firmware.

Amongst the new features included in the new 2.0 firmware was the third party application distribution center known as the App Store. This feature is a remarkable way for third party developers to distribute their applications to all iPhone and iPod Touch users worldwide through the use of Apple’s extensive iPhone SDK. A few other firmware features that will make this a hit is the Enterprise features highlighted in a previous post here and in the March 6th Keynote. Apple has also upgraded the built in calculator by introducing a scientific version when the device is rotated into a landscape orientation. Apple has also taken the liberty to make the new firmware completely iWork and MS Office friendly, so that in all applications attachments can be viewed via the iPhone’s rich display.

Aside from updates with the firmware, the two biggest improvements to the new iPhone are of course 3G capabilities and A-GPS technology. Filmed demos shown during the WWDC Keynote presentation show the iPhone to perform up to 2 times faster downloading data than an iPhone on Edge and 3 times faster downloading email attachments. The new A-GPS technology is capable of tracking a user through the city and is used for various locational services such as the native Maps application and the new “Geotagging” feature.

All in all the new iPhone 3G is an amazing device when taken into account the browsing speeds and ease of use, not to mention the price has been drastically reduced. The 8GB model comes in at just $199 and the 16GB models are only $100 more. The new iPhone 3G is set to hit Apple Stores in 22 countries on July 11th, and with lowered prices there is no foreseen obstacles in the way to hinder the 10 million unit goal set by Apple.
