iPhone 3G Phone is Coming!

Last few days, I've been bothered with this ruckus about the new Apple iPhone which is about to be launched. First of all, I need to tell you that I'm not easily afflicted or teased when it comes to gadgets. I even still got my monochrome cell-phone for my daily use. But since I've heard that this iPhone is offered in a very tempting price ($199; $299), I cross check the information, by myself.

And I found myself, astonished. No wonder this news is buzzing around so much. Because this sure is a bargain I wouldn't pass (if I had the opportunity to take it). For brief explanation, you can see what features this gadget offers you:

• Thinner
• Black plastic back
• Solid metal buttons
• (Same display & camera)
• Flush headphone jack
• Improved audio
• 3G – 2.8X faster than EDGE
• Battery life: 300 hours of standby, 2G talk-time: 10 hours, 3G talk time: 5 hours, 3G browsing: 5 to 6 hours, Video: 7 hours, Audio: 24 hours.
• GPS support
• The next version of Mac OS X is indeed called “Snow Leopard”
• WPA/WPA2 Enterprise
• 802.1x authentication
• TypePad – Free easy blogging / photo application
• Full iWork document support
• Complete support for Office documents (Word, Excel, and now PowerPoint)

I wish I can have my hands on these..
