SpaceGhost Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Keynote is today at 1pm our time. The 200 price might be for new AT&T customers only because AT&T might subsidize the price of the 8GB model for $200. So $400 8GB model is now $200 if AT&T gives the discount. The 16GB would be $300 after the "rumored" $200 discount from AT&T. ALl info should be read here: http://www.macrumors.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 if they offer that for $200 and it's a blackberry device, I'd bite. I love my 8800 BB but am a sucker for new toys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87GT Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I will stick with a normal cell phone and a stand-alone mp3 player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I am strongly considering getting one of the lower price ones, and giving my iPod to my sister. It would be great to be able to hear phone calls come in while I am doing yard work or working out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Read from Bottom up. (I didn't read anything about video or video conferencing...) 11:48 am Steve is having the crowd thank the iPhone team. 11:47 am Steve is showing the ad one more time. 11:47 am The ad depicts security guards carrying a safe that is unlocked to unveil the iPhone 3G. 11:46 am The iPhone 3G will be available July 11th in 22 countries. The maximum price around the world is $199 USD. Now showing an ad. 11:45 am $299 for the 16GB -- a white version of this size will be available too. 11:45 am Now on to the final challenge -- affordability. Started at $599 for an 8GB iPhone, now $399. The iPhone 3G 8GB will sell for... $199. 11:43 am That rollout will occur over the coming few months. 11:43 am China, Japan, Australia, etc. 70 countries total. 11:42 am Checking off 3G from the list of challenges. The second challenge, enterprise support, is fully built-in and can be checked off. The third challenge, third party application support, can also be checked off. The fourth challenge, more countries, can be checked off as it will be available in Canada, Mexico, Norway, Sweden, Netherlands and many others -- "It's a Small World" is playing as countries continue to appear on the map. 11:39 am With GPS, the iPhone can do tracking. A pulsating dot is moving across the Google map as a car drives down Lombard street. 11:38 am Data from cell towers, WiFi networks, and now -- GPS. 11:38 am GPS support now integrated into the iPhone. 11:38 am 3G has great battery life on iPhone. 300 hours of standby, 2G talk-time now has 10 hours (as opposed to 5), 5 hours of 3G talk-time (most phones only have 3 hour 3G talk time), 5 to 6 hours of high-speed browsing, 7 hours of video, 24 hours of audio. 11:37 am Now demoing an email download. The email attachment took 5 seconds to download on 3G and 18 seconds on EDGE. 3 seconds on WiFi. 11:36 am 2.8X faster. Approaching WiFi speeds (WiFi scored 17 seconds). When compared to other 3G phones (Nokia N95 and Treo 750), the iPhone is 36% faster -- and better looking. 11:35 am How does the iPhone 3G tackle the challenges? 3G = faster data downloads, perfect for Safari and Mail. Comparing download speeds between 3G and EDGE. 3G finished in 21 seconds. EDGE finished in 59 seconds. 11:33 am Apple has learned so much with the first iPhone. They have taken everything they've learned and more and created the iPhone 3G. Even thinner, black plastic back, solid metal buttons, same gorgeous display, camera, flush headphone jack, and dramatically improved audio. 11:32 am Introducing the iPhone 3G.

Putty Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Man, I just left ATT looking at plans.....They are taking people to the cleaners on rate plans. $79.99 for 900 minutes. That includes 200 text messages. If you want unlimited text messages that's $20.00 additional, so $99.99 a month for 900 minutes and unlimited text messages. Seriously, WTH.....I am on a family plan with T-Mobile with two Blackberrys with data plans, unlimited text and we pay $120.00 a month....SHIT! Plans may own me.

SpaceGhost Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Keynote address is up on Apple's Website, it's a long watch but some very cool stuff is in it, I like the "loopt" application. It shows you where your friends and family are on a map around you in real time. BTW that will be free. The MLB.com Application will be cool also with video clips of highlights as the game is in progress not when it is over. If you have a couple of hours and are interested in the iPhone. This is a good watch. You will need Quicktime to view the Keynote. http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/0806wdt546x/event/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
