Boys and gals, the wait is over.

Steve Jobs’ keynote gave in all the info one should / would want to know about the new 3G iPhone which will be released to the market on July 11th. Only 22 countries will get it then but a total of 70 are prepared to give it a try later on.

With a full plastic back, a flush headphone jack, packed with the iPhone 2.0 firmware the new iPhone goes cheaper ($199 for 8GB and $299 for 16GB) than the old 2.5G versions. Add to that the 3G speeds are 2x faster kicking Nokia N95 and Treo 750 right in the soft parts and the fact that “Customers who purchased a 2.5G iPhone on or after May 27 and want to swap it out for a new iPhone will be able to do so without incurring an additional handset charge for the new device” and we’re some happy campers over here.

What do you think?

We all know that a new iPhone is soon going to be available. Our buddies from Engadget managed to get some info from a very authoritatively source about the next-gen iPhone so here it is.

• 3G and GPS are the main changes. Lots of people screamed for those features and Apple listened very carefully.
• The new iPhone is going to be all (glossy) black, it doesn’t have a back metal case anymore and should be slightly thicker.
• Apple may start shipping it from July.

Though these are pretty interesting changes, there is still no word on a removable battery but I guess you know that when we talk about Apple, nothing is final. The source seems to be highly credible but even so, take some salt with it.

You might be wondering what’s Apple planning for the next year. Well, we have searched some information and we have found interesting news. Apple plans to release a 3G iPhone, a modified version of Apple TV and a flash memory-based Mac.

The analyst David Bailey, from Goldman Sachs bank has written a research report based on information obtained from component suppliers in Asia. Apparently the 3G iPhone is a certain release for the next year. Apple will launch the 3G iPhone with AT&T network. Although no official reports were made, the second generation iPhone is currently being designed. Some observers speculate the announcement for the MacWorld conference in January. Another news regarding the iPhone says it will receive more flash memory in the first half of 2008.

Furthermore, the Apple TV will be upgraded and redesigned. It will feature an LCD display to attract more customers and to increase mobility. It’s obvious they try to revive the Apple TV which has been a total fiasco for the company. And there is more! Bailey’s report and other well known agencies sustain that Apple develops a 12-inch Mac laptop with flash memory instead of a hard drive. Also, it is possible that the new revolutionary Mac to be ready for MacWorld. Its could go around $1,500.
