Overly Positive

So, despite the angst of many a recent iPhone purchaser, the iPhone 3Gs is coming out just after mid-June this year. Now sure, some of you who are feeling the current handcuffing of your 2 year contracts with AT&T might be a bit stiffed, but not to worry – I’m sure they might have some kind of consolation by roping you in with cool visual apps and trendy touch-screen goodness.

Anyway, the new hotness was revealed today at Apple‘s annual WWDC. and here are the highlights:

-Price drop for the iPhone 3G: With the new iPhone coming out, obviously not many people may be looking to be getting “old and busted” iPhone goodness. So that being said, Apple’s dropping the price of their current iPhone to $99 bucks. With the 3Gs at $199 and $299, it was only fair, right?

-Hardware Goodies: The iPhone’s new video download and camera capability is sure to be appealing to many a media lover. The iPhone already possesses a toolbox of applications and digitally-based practicality to users, and these will only enhance the iPhone’s already massive library of functionality.

-Multimedia Messaging: The one illogical thing that seemed to be missing from a peripheral that seemed to deliver everything from the digital age was the ability to send and receive multimedia. For a long time, iPhone users were puzzled and sometimes even ridiculed for not being able to do what a phone half the memory and price could do easily, but now, they can eat their words, because MMS is coming.

I’m not actually an iPhone user – I use a Blackberry, but I suppose I can be bothered to have confidence in my product enough to wish the iPhone well. Not to worry – I’m sure upgrades to allow the iPhone to make phone calls without dropping every second call due to bad cell towers are coming soon! Stay positive!
