What is 3g and why wasn't the Apple iPhone a 3G in the initial stage?
3G means "3rd Generation", and can use one of two competing cellular phone data protocols, which allows speeds that are about half what a DSL line gives for downloads, and very nearly equal for uploads. Rampant speculation exists as to whether or not the Apple iPhone 3G will support the so-called 3.5 generation protocol, HSDPA.
The HSPDA is dominant in Europe hence the source of the speculation of Apple iPhone picking up the protocol. HSDPA networks are used by Both VodaPhone and StarOn. There are press releases, announcing Apple iPhone 3G seen since April on the Internet. "A 3G Apple iPhone is guaranteed to happen in the next three months" was the words of Walter Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal, back in April in a round robin press conference.
What one should be concerned about is this: The industrial design secrets are kept close to Apple; however we do know that this design will be slimmer, and of course,the Apple iPhone 3G will make data access much quicker.
But where's Apple's vaunted secrecy? When the iPhone launched last year, all the journalists had to sign non-disclosure agreements before they could see the hardware. If Mossberg can talk about 3G connectivity on the Apple iPhone, what new tricks does Apple have that he's not allowed to talk about?
Speculation on that has ranged from the 3G Apple iPhone having built in GPS capabilities, to new software from the Software Development Kit released last February, to graphic acceleration. (Apple has publicly released announcements about integrating with Microsoft Exchange-driven "push" email, the major competitive advantage that Research In Motion's Blackberry has.)
This summer is the marked time span for the release of an 8MB and 16MB iPhone well so it have been announced - some hardware experts, mention of the success of the MacBook Air will be made, that this may be a red herring, and the 3G Apple iPhone may have a higher amount of Flash RAM.
Of all things that are going to change on thing is sure to remain untouched and that is the battery life, given the fact that it is thinner. May be of some let down for the Apple iPhone devotees; the 3G Apple iPhone is thinner and has a more powerful radio, this will inevitably prevent space for greater battery capacity and may even prove to be shorter if the radio is feature that is frequently used.
