Last Night i went a bit mad and decided to actually stay up and watch or listen to WWDC live. I tried to get some sleep before the event (which started at 3am Melbourne Time) but i just couldn’t contain my iPhone Enthusiasm. So after two instant coffee’s and some good ol’ vintage scrubs i was ready to be part of the Apple WWDC Experience.

My main thrill was due to all the rumors buzzing around about the prospect of a new iPhone with better Camera and iChat Capacity (sadly we haven’t got a front facing camera or a bonjour chat client such as iChat Mobile)

Despite this i was overwhelmed to see that so many of our prayers have been answered with the 3.0 update and the new hardware that looks like the splitting image of the normal 3g model (which is good for those who bought a 3G standard during the crazy cheap clearance *cough* one of the Hughes Family Members )

Before i go any further in this post i have to put an image of the new beast in this post as it just looks amazing with the fresh new Apple Applications

Amazing Looking Isn’t it?

Anyway, this new amazing palm sized computer is the latest revolution to be brought out by the currently Jobless Apple Computer Inc

Most of the new features announced are just part of the 3.0 update. But some hardware only features such as the Magnetic Compass, Voice commands and of course that wonderful 3.2mp camera point to a gradual step forward beyond the wonderful product that is the iPhone. As a whole i think the market will and should view this new GS model as just an upgrade and not a new revision (despite apparently boasting a completely different inside architecture)

Despite this, on the 26th of June (Australia Release Date) i will be lining up to get hold of this new piece of joy, and finally ditch my rather reliable 3.2mp camera clad Nokia 6500. Today i registered for updates from my preferred service provider so if they do what they did with the 3G and allow you to preorder i can do that.

One of the features that seems to be glossed over that will be big press when people start to get their hands on the device is the new headset which boasts a “centre switch” which by my imagination means it will have more than just once button since if a device has only one button you wouldn’t call that button the “centre button”

Only Time will tell.
