Apple’s World Wide Developer Conference kicked off today at 10.30 PM India time at San Fransisco, US. This conference will go on for 4 days and will end on June 12. One of the most awaited device of the year 2009, the new Apple iPhone was launched at the WWDC today, last year it was called as the iPhone 3G. The new iPhone will be called the iPhone 3GS and not the iPhone Video. So my guess was wrong but I still find the name weird. The S in 3GS stands for speed and this new iPhone is the fastest of the lot. This times Apple has made the user experience on the new iPhone faster. The phone has a 3 mega pixel snapper (not 3.2 mega pixel) with auto focus, white balance and video capturing feature (30 fps VGA quality…hmm not impressed) (you can tap the object and the camera will focus on it), 7.2 mbps HSDPA connectivity. Voice control commands to make calls, create playlists, dial numbers, shuffle. The rumor of iPhone having a digital compass was also true, as the new iPhone 3GS has one. The compass integrates itself with the maps on iPhone. The new iPhone has hardware encryption, encrypted iTunes back-up and greatly improved battery life. [Via]
