The new Apple iPhone was announced today at WWDC 2008 by Steve Jobs. Here are the highlights:
– Will hit the shelves July 11th in 22 countries.

– It has thinner edges, a full plastic back and a flush headphone jack.
– Has the iPhone 2.0 firmware.
– It will run 3rd party applications.
– The battery life has been improved with 300 hours of standby, 8-10 hours of 2G talk, 5 hours of 3G talk, 7 hours of video and 24 hours of audio.
– The 3G pageload speeds are said to be 36% faster than the N95 and Treo 750, and 2.8 times faster than EDGE.
– Does have GPS built in, and also gets data from cell towers and wi-fi.

The only bad thing I've heard of thus far is there's still no front facing camera.
