I've seen the TomTom update on the liveblog (watching Gizmodo's one)

Quite impressed with everything so far.

New iPhone (the 3GS) includes 7.2 meg HSDPA support and an autofocus 3MP camera with tap-to-focus (you can select which part of an image to focus on by tapping) and video support.

A compass to boot as well woohoo..

No real change, but some minor changes such as the voice control etc. http://cache.gizmodo.com/assets/wwdc...dc2009-840.jpg

3G model stays on market at $99, so lets see what UK price will be, £59? maybe...

Also $199 for 16gb, and $299 for 32gb, so expect £159, 259 respectively?

and about 50,000 Applications, and counting... :)

Anyone see the rude remark about the Palm Pre, only 18 apps?

The 3.0 software also introduces the option to use your iPhone as a fully working modem. However O2 are making you pay extra. 3gig for £15 a month, 10gig for £30 a month. Ouch!. Doubt many will be taking that offer up...

Very expensive conversion for UK pricing on the new iPhones:

The highest tarriff prices will be on an18 month contract at £29.38 and £34.26 tariffs, so no two year deals here like we saw on the iPhone 3G.


This will likely rankle with those that have just signed up to a 23 month deal wiht O2 to get the new iPhone, so it will be interesting to see how the network deals with that backlash.

It seems like O2 won't even allow upgrades unless your in the last month of your contract. Otherwise you will have to pay to terminate the contract.

Yep no upgrades for O2 iphone users unless you are in your last month
