GPS

GPS-wise, I'm excited. Live tracking of your position on the iPhone 3g looks awesome—watch out, Garmin—and you'll also be able to tag your photos with GPS coordinates. Oh, and Loopt has already announced a social-networking app that'll use GPS to pinpoint your nearest buddies. Finally, Jobs said that the iPhone 3g turns GPS off automatically when it's not in use so as not to drain the battery. Nice.

And as far as a range of iPhone models goes, Jobs is keeping it simple: 8GB and 16GB versions—no 32GB model of the iphone 3g.

COST

First , let's talk about the prices—specifically, $299 price for a 16 GB iPhone 3g and $199 for an 8GB iPhone 3g version.$199 isn't really cheap for any phone. But it's a good bargain when you look at the features that are packed into this iPhone 3G.
