It’s Monday and Apple’s developer’s conference begins this week with the traditional Steve Job’s keynote. The most anticipated announcement is the sucessor to the last years most hyped and Time magazine’s “Invention of the Year.” The new iPhone 3G features faster internet speed, a hardware based GPS and version 2.0 of the iPhone software all at a $199 price point.

Here at DavidHam, we are pretty demanding of our gadgets and gear. And though the iPhone in it’s current incarnation does have it’s shortcoming , there is no doubt that it is a very useful business tool that allows us to stay abreast of news and important communication while on the go. With the release of the SDK that allows third party developers the opportunity to create feature rich application to extend the capabilities of the iPhone even further, it will definitely make this communications device even better. July 11th can’t get here soon enough!!! That is when the new iPhone 3G is available for sale here in the US. Are you guys gonna buy one?

In other news…I’ve just got back today from an awesome engagement session in the bay area and can’t wait to share that with you guys. Plus other things that have kept me really busy in the last month. Traveling puts us a day or two behind and it adds up when you’ve been traveling back to back the last 3 weeks. At least there’s only remnants of the flu remaining in my body. :D

***update: news today shows that the announce price is already subsidized and that all iPhone purchase must be activated instore on a qualified 2yr AT&T plan. Furthermore, they increased the unlimited data plan for the 3G iPhone from $20/mo to $30/mo. I don’t think this is very good news for iPhone fans and certainly not good news for current iPhone users who want to upgrade to the new 3G device. :(
