According to Gizmodo, who are there live-blogging, Apple also introduced MobileMe, their expanded version of ActiveSync, a program that coordinates calendars, files, photos, and contacts between work networks, home computers, and iPhones (it will replace the .Mac feature). Then Jobs brought forth his latest baby: the 3G iPod. Calling the original iPhone (launched nearly a year ago) “the phone that has changed phones forever,” he explained that they sold 6 million of them so far. The new version will have a full plastic back, camera, a flushed headphone jack, solid metal buttons, a three-and-a-half-inch screen, and a much faster download time. It will have a standby battery life of 300 hours and ten hours of talking time, which is an improvement over the last phone, and it will have GPS capability, so the phone will be able to locate itself via satellite.
