A Phone is Born: the World Welcomes the Apple 3G S

apple

Apple unveiled its next generation iPhone 3G S at its annual developer’s conference, slated for release with the new iPhone 3.0 OS on June 19 — timed almost exactly two years after the release of the first iPhone model when early adopters’ contracts expire.

The phone is likely to spawn a new generation of mobile video and photo applications thanks to faster processing speeds, longer battery life, easy-to-use video recording software and a real 3 megapixel camera. The autofocus camera automatically adjusts focus, exposure and contrast. You can record high-quality video clips and edit them right on the iPhone 3G S by simply trimming the start and stop points. You can also send photos and video by email or MMS and post them directly to YouTube or Apple’s $99/year MobileMe subscription service with a single tap.  

The new iPhone will retail for $199 with 16 GB online and at AT&T, Best Buy and Wal-Mart stores. In a move to capture more price sensitive folks, the existing iPhone 3G model dropped in price to $99, effective immediately, which has not made many who recently purchased the phone at the older retail price too happy — but this happens in the ever-changing world of mobile devices where today’s hot new model becomes obsolete in six months.

For instance, ScrollMotion will introduce the Iceberg Reader this summer, which allows you to scroll and pinch-to-zoom to navigate newspapers, magazines and other publication’s pages. A note-taking feature allows you to jot down thoughts and refer to them from any point in the book or magazine. In-app purchasing will enable readers to purchase books and subscriptions directly from the app.
