iPhone 2.0Apple announced at their WWDC the release date and the new price point for the iPhone 2.0. I think it came as a complete shock knowing historically how Apple does not cater price points for the masses. The new 8 gig iPhone will retail for $199 and the 16 gig version will retail for $299. This makes it cheaper than the ipod touch. I would think that product might becoming a technology irrelevant item soon.

Apple has demonstrated that the new 3G connection speed to be twice as fast as the EDGE technology of the original iPhone. The new versions will have a single color back versus the two tone of the original. The 8 gig will have an all black back and the 16 gig version will have an all white back. Apple also mentioned that it is slightly slimmer than its predecessor. Lets also not forget the new software update that will increase its popularity two fold. The new App store will be home for all third party applications for the iPhone.

As excited as I am about this wonderful product it still has

Even though its only six months old, the Apple iPhone is a major player in mobile Web consumption, while traditional smartphone users remain focused primarily on e-mail and messaging.

According to the M:Metrics January Benchmark Survey 85 percent of iPhone users accessed online information that month, compared with 58.2 percent of the wider smartphone market.

Nearly 60 percent of iPhone users conducted online searches, with only 37 percent of smartphone users accessing Web search.

While demographics of the two user groups might be similar, the results show that iPhone owners want more online entertainment and social engagement than users of the BlackBerry and other smartphones. This is why you will find more “cool” “non-boring” people using the iPhone. Also the reason I think it will be more popular.
