Is iPhone 3G Really Cheaper
Kirk Yuhnke 6/9/2008 4:46:15 PM

Here it is, the faster Apple iPhone that everyone has been talking about!  It now has 3G speeds and a GPS chip built-in.  The new software (that will be available to old iPhone users too) will finally let you install additional programs.  It''ll also support business e-mail and calendar systems.  Apple took an awesome product and made it better, no question about it!

Foxnews.com Story About New iPhone

It''s being touted as twice as fast at half the cost.  After all the new iPhone is $199 instead of $399.  Is it really cheaper though?  I''m not convinced.  Reading the at&t press release it says that 3G data on the iPhone will cost $30 in addition to your voice plan.  The old iPhone data package was an extra $20.  You''ll be paying $10 extra per month?!?  Nobody told us about that!  Over the course of 2 years, that''s $240 extra!!!  Hmmmm, to that I say, "what up with that?"

Regardless, the new iPhone looks REALLY cool but I''m still waiting for video recording capabilities and picture mail.  Will I buy it?  Probably not.  The only reason I''m still waiting is because I want to see what the Google Android project has to offer later this year.
