So, once again a new iPhone has been unveiled, the interestingly named 3G S, boasts much faster speeds than its predecessor the 3G. The name change reminds us of a new trim of car, personally we would have preferred the iPhone Ghia, or the iPhone XR3i, but we’ll have to settle for the S. Obviously there are plenty of other additions to the new model, including voice control and video capture, however once again there is talk of rivals (the Palm Pre) being a significant alternative option. But it’s not an Apple product at the end of the day and is unlikely to convert the diehards.

Sticking with the iPhone, the iPhone apps continue to expand, there seems to be an app for almost anything now with over 50,000 available to download at the app store. The Apple WWDC conference in San Francisco was a perfect opportunity to show off the vast array on offer with a collection of cinema displays mounted together, each one crammed with app icons pulsating when purchased.

The youtube clip below illustrates the huge numbers of apps that are currently being downloaded.
