But with the hype seemingly on mute compared to last years original frenzy when the first-generation iPhone debuted — is there anything worth knowing?
We certainly think so. Because Apple changed the game with iPhone 3G — it’s no longer demanding a slice of carriers’ subscriber revenues and now takes subsidy payments from operators instead — the first day of iPhone v.2 is a completely different deal. By now you probably know that the “3G” in the name stands for the new network capabilities it offers, including faster data transfer speeds. And, of course, there’s the built-in GPS, which application developers will no doubt make use of with a slew of new apps. (There were already more than 550 available when Apple’s App Store went live on Thursday.) And yet, on opening day, we expect you’ll have questions. And we have some of the answers.
