Starting with iPhone 3G, activation is in-store only, so no more iTunes [...]

Yes, Apple announced the iPhone 3G today, but is it what you were looking forward to, was it enough. Well, with all the hype and rumor behind the product, it couldn’t have been as good as all the rumors said. Of course, it does have 3G and GPS, but there’s no revolutionary features there.

Just as suspected, Steve Jobs announced the 3G iPhone today. Featuring the same display and camera as the current model, the new model not only features 3G faster than the Nokia N95, but also features GPS.

Steve Jobs announced MobileMe. It is an application for the iPhone which is like enterprise, for all of us non enterprise users. It constantly syncs all of your information with the Apple servers “in the clouds.”

The day of WWDC is here and just as predicted, the Apple Store is down. The outage is occuring worldwide, perhaps suggesting a worldwide launch of the 3G iPhone.
