That’s right! Apple has finally announced the iPhone 3G with its price tag. Priced at $199 (8GB), the 3G iPhone is cheaper than the original iPhone. Apple claims its 3G speed is 36% faster than the N95 and Treo 750. Its battery offers 300 hours of standby, 8-10 hours of 2G talk, 5 hours of 3G talk, 7 hours of video and 24 hours of audio. The handset also sports A-GPS and WiFi. The company is expected to launch this new iPhone in 70 countries this year, with the black 8GB going for $199 and 16GB for $299 in black or white. In addition, for those who purchased a 2.5G iPhone on or after May 27 2008 and want a new iPhone, they will be able to do so without incurring an additional handset charge for the new device. They will need to turn in their 2.5G iPhone. [Engadget]
