Now called the iPhone 3G, they have revised it in some pretty decent ways. They&#8217;ve made it a full &#8220;3G&#8221; phone using AT&amp;T&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/High-Speed_Downlink_Packet_Access\" target=\"_blank\">HSDPA<\/a> for downloading email and web pages at about twice the speed as the original <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Enhanced_Data_Rates_for_GSM_Evolution\" target=\"_blank\">EDGE<\/a>. They&#8217;ve also added GPS support. The one thing they&#8217;ve taken away is $200. It now costs $199 in exchange for a two year service contact commitment.<\/p>\n<p>Am I going to get one? Not likely. Surfing at twice the speed is nice, but considering the higher-speed data plan is $10 more per month ($40 versus the current $30) I don&#8217;t see enough value in the upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>There is the new 2.0 upgrade of the OS which is standard on the 3G but will also be made available for free to existing phones. They have focused quite a bit on main aspects of the OS which are enterprise support and 3rd party application support. I&#8217;m interested in that and will have it with the phone I have now when the upgrade is released next month. They haven&#8217;t listed completely what is included with the upgrade, but here are the things I either know they aren&#8217;t doing or aren&#8217;t sure:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Video support for the camera<\/li>\n<li>Wireless podcast downloads<\/li>\n<li>Wireless syncing (iTunes)<\/li>\n<li>Document storage (I want to store and read PDFs)<\/li>\n<li>Flash support (kinda don&#8217;t care)<\/li>\n<li>Keychain support (partially resolved with the excellent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.1password.com\" target=\"_blank\">1Password<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m just glad that Omni Group has committed to producing an iPhone version of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.omnigroup.com\/applications\/omnifocus\/iphone\/\" target=\"_blank\">OmniFocus<\/a>.
