Everything on this iPhone runs two to three-times quicker. There's 100 new features, they say. There's no change in the form factor, but the camera has been bumped up to 3 megapixels with autofocus. You can tap to focus on a specific item. It has auto exposure, auto light balance and not forgetting auto macro (allowing close-ups to within 10cm). It also captures VGA video at 30fps with audio...and you can trim clips on the phone too (w00t). You can use voice-control for dialling calls and playing music (you'll sound silly but i guess it'll really come into play when you're at the wheel of a car). Battery life has been improved: 12 hours of 2G talk time or five hours of 3G talk time; nine hours’ use on Wi-Fi; 10 watching video; or 30 hours of audio.
The phone should be here within the month on O2 as usual.
The iPhone 3.0 software has been given another cool trick: Lose you iPhone and you can send it a message so, hopefully, the person who found it will know who it belongs to (if they didn't nick it). You'll also be able to remotely wipe it's data if it has been stolen.
Apple didn't reveal a new 'lite' iPhone, but did say that the non-s version of the 3G iPhone will be made available for only $99.
