Steve Jobs Introduces New iPhone 3G + Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Richard | June 9, 2008

It’s a capstone for Mac fans around the globe every year. Steve Jobs’ Keynote welcoming developers to the yearly WWDC (Worldwide Developer Conference) at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. It is like Christmas to those hardcore Mac fans and still pretty important to those owning a Mac. This is, because it is generally known that Steve introduces key novelties and product updates that day. This year’s most important release is definitively the new iPhone 3G:

Besides the thinner cover, the updates include:

  • 3G (or UMTS)
  • a plastic back-cover available in either black (8GB + 16GB) or white (16GB)
  • GPS for better Maps functionality
  • better battery life
  • improved software updates (iPhone 2.0) including a scientific calculator in landscape-mode
  • push email
  • mobileMe access (replaces dotMac)
  • plus more enterprise functions, mobile access to the all-new app store, and a lot more…

    • Important to most of people would be the new, cheaper pricing: &199 will be the set price for the 8GB, $299 for the 16GB model. Also new: the latest iPhone tv ads.

    Further, Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) was introduced, holding a lot of stability updates and 64bit modifications. The release which is not based on new features other than stability and performance can be expected within 12 months ahead.

    The complete Keynote stream can be watched here.
