iPhone 2 goes 3G
Web 2.0
10 June 2008
Apple has launched its second-generation iPhone and added 3G connectivity to its improved specifications.
The original handset demonstrated the seamless connectivity, which many Web 2.0 users were looking for and became an instant success.
"Just one year after launching the iPhone, we're launching the new iPhone 3G that is twice as fast at half the price," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO.
iPhone 3G gives users faster access to the internet, automatically switches between networks and allows simultaneous voice and data communications.
By the time the first iPhone went on sale in the UK, the company had already sold 1.4 million handsets.
Critics of the phone complained about the price of exclusive deals, available only with provider O2 - the firm later reduced the cost of its original package only months after its launch.
At the time UK marketing director, Sally Cowdry, said: "The iPhone is already our fastest-ever selling device and this added value will allow us to appeal to an even greater segment of the market."
