iPhone 3G was introduced by Steve jobs during his key note speech at the WWDC 2008 today. Apple also released new SDK details and Mobile Me service which includes push mail, contacts and calendar data. I personally, am very interested in the App Store and how i think it might have influenced other companies (Google!) to follow the same model except with no charge to develop. I believe Apple has also helped in getting AT&T to deploy 3G network faster. Now it's just a waiting game to see what other competitors are going to come up with to beat the iPhone which seems pretty awesome at this point.
