Just spent the last hour or so listening to the WWDC keynote presentation by Steve Jobs and friends in which the iPhone 3G has finally been unveiled. The relief is palpable, although I’m a little disappointed that my frustration must endure another month of waiting and I won’t be able to buy myself one for my birthday. I deserve it.

Anyway, it looks good, most of the rumours were spot on, 3G, GPS, new casing and a lower price which could be around £100 in the UK. Bit disappointed that there is no front facing camera for iChat and that there’s no 32Gb model. The camera was glossed over too, still the unpopular 2 megapixel job. These may be updated in a revision for the Christmas market, but I’ve waited long enough, and the price is fantastic. I’m all over it like a rash on the 11th of July.

Can’t wait, the App Store is going to be great, the gaming potential is huge, and the new Mobile Me service which replaces .Mac might just be worth the money at last. I really do think it’s going to change my behaviour, and I’ll be very happy to ditch my current phone and finally get rid of Orange, who I’ve definitely fallen out of love with in recent years…
