Apple is expected to open its long-awaited App Store at the beginning of
the Worldwide Developers' Conference next Monday. A source close to the
story cited that the online store will launch and be up and running that
day with Steve Jobs giving the keynote address at the event.
Other reports have only contributed to the fervor. A recent Gizmodo
report has stated that the next generation iPhone, which is expected to
run on the iPhone 2.0 software, will be released on Monday. The upgraded
operating system software is expected to enable the delivery of
applications through the App Store.
For owners of the current generation of iPhones, the iPhone 2.0 software
is anticipated to work with both the current iPhone as well as the
long-anticipated 3G version.
Another source close to the story cited that the new iPhone will combine
GPS and faster networking speeds, thereby allowing for a range of
location-specific applications to arrive on the iPhone, putting Apple's
handset on par with competing devices.

Real GPS hardware and software will be a killer application for the
iPhone, as long as it works when the phone is off-network. There's a lot
of back roads where it'd be really nice to have a GPS, but where there
is no GSM coverage.
I saw that the 1.0 iPhone has been losing market share big time to Palm
and Blackberry devices. The new version could reverse this trend.

Because people (like me) have been waiting for the v2 phone. Though
technically, I've been waiting for the app store and the new hardware
is just an added bonus.

That amazes me. I'd never touch a BB, and my Palm Win Mobile devices
were just awful.
As a technical person, I was able to tweek the s--t out of them and get
them to work well, but I could never see the average user happy with
these things.
I'm very curious to see what happens with RIM when you can access
Enterprise servers with an iPhone.
New phones will be cheaper but the caveat is that you have to pay $10 more
per month ($30) for 3g and it looks like you have to activate it in the
store so goodbye to unlocking for use on other services.

They will come as a prepaid option here in Australia with 3 different
companies selling them so should be unlocked. Also if you are contracted to
a plan here you can move afterwards - number portability is the law - they
cant tie you to a single carrier.
Anyway I got my iphone in the USA in April - my $399 looks a little
expensive now......

My guess isthat very little will change. "access Enterprise servers" <>
"BES." Those shops that have decided to use BES for whatever reason still
will, and leave the iPhone out. WinMo has offered Exchange access for
years and it hasn't threatened RIM's dominance in that market. Neither
will iPhone Dos.

Does anyone know if there will be audio/voice driving detail with the
GPS on the iPhone like say a TomTom or Garmin GPS device? I ran the
demo on the Apple site, and it behaves the same as it runs on my
iPhone now. For me, I don't see the advantage of a GPS system for
navigation if you have to rely on reading it as you drive. I don't
always have someone riding "shotgun" to play navigator for me. It's
why I love having the TomTom.

it has been reported that TomTom already has software ready for the 3G iPhone.

Thank you for reporting this. Unfortunately, it appears that I will be
using my first iPhone till it dies (and the TomTom). I wish Apple was
offering some sort of rebate or reimbursement like they did for the
customers that bought the now defunct 4 GB phone when the 8 GB came
out.
Not that I didn't know the bigger and faster phones were on the
way ... I just would have liked to have gotten more mileage out of
mine before it became obsolete. Sigh.
Overall though, I must admit that even my "obsolete" * 8 GB model is
hands down one of the best phones available. I'm looking forward to
the software update and hope that it improves overall efficiency.

Apple is giving a free upgrade for people who bought the old model
iPhone after 27 May, 2008 (I think that's the correct date).
Some of the phone companies are also offering upgrade deals for their
customers too, so check with your provider if you bought it before
Apple's cut-off date.
As for mileage, technology is always obsolete even before they
officially announce it, but my G3 PowerMac is 10 years old and still
going strong )
.... the original Apple monitor died a few years ago and now my SCSI
scanner is kaput. (

I hear ya!!! The critter I have at home is a G4 Quicksilver from 2001.
Just as solid as a rock. Not using an Apple monitor though. Hubby
bought me a Dell 24" UltraSharp WFP that is better than the Cinema
displays I used at work. Third to half the cost, too. Then the
darling man bought me a new video card for my birthday. I do a lot of
Photoshop work, so the display and video upgrades made a huge
difference. I may upgrade the processor later on, but right now she is
rocking and rolling.
Would you suggest I get the AppleCare on my iPhone and bluetooth set?
I've had only one instance in all my 15 years of Mac use that I had to
deal with Apple on a hardware issue. It was on a new, G5 system with a
dual-core processor. They ended up gutting the thing to the tune of
nearly $1,700 and I was happy that it was still under warranty. Sang
like a bird after that.

Never fear. I'd bet you the new 3G version will be "obsolete" in a year from
July 11. Know when you buy a technological device that it will be obsolete
before anyone's gotten enough "mileage" out of it and you'll be happier in
life! ;-)

Sorry for not replying. My hopeless Internet provider killed off my
Internet access, taking FAR too long to fix the problem (it's only just
started working again today!) ... bad news is that this provider was
taken over by Vodafone, the same people bringing the iPhone to New
Zealand. \
I've never bothered with AppleCare and rarely seen a problem occur
after the normal warranty period has finished ... but having said that,
no doubt many problems will start turning up. I guess it depends on how
quickly you replace your hardware and how clumsy you are in the case of
portables. ;o)
