3G iPhone on its way..

The iPhone 2.0 update will be coming in a couple of months and the launch of a new 3G device to go along with the new software is a natural assumption. Most of us are contented with their iPhone, but the lack of 3G is a real bummer that results in using other Wireless devices instead of the iPhone to enhance the mobile productivity on the run. A 3G iPhone with the new firmware is going to be very tempting with its lucrative features and tough for anyone to resist. However, we will have to evaluate the features in totality in relation to other improvements in this Harry Potter magic wand. Will that have the right magic spell on it. For instance, its Bluetooth connectivity to a keyboard, A2DP Bluetooth support, and video capture capability before we finally make our preparation to transform into next generation 3G iPhone.

Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO, has confirmed that there is a 3G iPhone in the works, although fell short of saying when we could expect to buy one.

"We are working on the next iPhone already, the one after that and the one after that", Jobs said.

Making the comments at the "Mum is no longer the word" press conference at the Regent Street Apple store in London, Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple said: "You can expect a 3G iPhone in third quarter this year".

The news comes as a 2G EDGE-enabled iPhone will be available in the UK on 9 November.

Earlier, when asked why the current model didn't have 3G, Jobs blamed power issues saying that the 3G chipset would be too much of a drain on the unit's battery life which promises 8 hours of call time, but said that future models would have the technology.
