Apple has recently launched the new iPhone 3G[S] and here are the new features:

• Supposed to be 2x faster than it’s predecessor. Web pages load faster and applications should launch faster as well.
• You can now shoot videos with it’s 3MP camera. And what’s even better is you can actually edit your videos straight on the iPhone.
• Voice Control. Dial numbers using voice command, or play songs by just saying the name of the song.
• You can also use your iPhone as a compass! The iPhone is now a must-bring gadget during your camping trips and trek in the forest!
• Cut, Copy and Paste! Self explanatory… and FINALLY!
• MMS sending is now also possible with the new iPhone
• Searching for items on your iPhone is now easier with the Spotlight feature

and my favorite new feature…

Internet Tethering! You can now use the iPhone as a 3G modem to so you can surf using your Mac laptops or PC laptops!

Other notable features are:

• Find your iPhone! If it gets stolen or lost, just log in to MobileMe and it will show a map of the nearby location of your iPhone. You can even have it play a sound so you can now where it is, or display a message on the home screen if ever someone finds it.
• Remote Wipe! If your iPhone has sensitive information you don’t want other people accessing, you can initiate a remote wipe to bring your iPhone back to it’s factory setting! Awesome!

The iPhone 3G now only cost $99 (with plan via ATT), while the iPhone 3G[S] costs $199-$299 (with plan via ATT).

It’s the time of the year when rumors about the upcoming Apple products go around and spread like wild fire.

I posted about the MacBook Touch around last week and now it seems like rumors of the iPhone Nano coming out for the holidays is going around again!

I just don’t get it about people’s obsession about making itty-bitty gadgets! For one thing, they’re so much easier to misplace, haha.

Anyway, we just have to sit back and wait for the real thing!

*swoons* *drools* So the rumor IS true! The new iPhone 3G will come in angelically, sexy white and chic, sleek black!

Ok, I’m totally getting a white one when it comes out in the Philippines.

Anyway, aside from coming having a new colors to choose from, the new iPhone 3G comes with the follow features:

• Faster 3G (HSDPA) Speeds
• Built in GPS and Maps
• Apple Push Service
• Built in App Store
• Microsoft Exchange and Push Email Support!

Along with the launch of the iPhone 3G, Apple also introduced MobileMe. It’s a service that basically syncs the contents of you your iPhone or iPod touch to your Mac or PC!

3G iPhones are officially landing on select countries on July 11 while some countries still have a “coming soon” tag on the iPhone 3G.

As for me, well, there’s no news yet on when it’ll be coming out in the Philippines, but I sure do hope they keep the $200 price tag on an 8GB model and $300 for an 16GB model. Mac products here in the Philippines can get extremely overpriced!
