For those of you who have just purchased an iPhone, you can’t say I didn’t tell you so. Anyone who follows Apple and their products knows that the WWDC almost always means new hardware/software upgrades, and they continued their tradition at this year’s WWDC with the announcement of the iPhone3GS (Speed).

While some are debating whether or not the upgrades to the iPhone 3G were worthwhile, others remain extremely optimistic about the changes and are more than ready to embrace them once the 3GS hits the shelves next Friday, June 19th, 2009. The new feautres are listed below.

• New camera - 3 megapixel camera with auto-focus and video capabilities
• Video editing
• Voice-control
• Internal digital compass
• Spotlight search
• New and improved messaging application
• Upgraded RAM and processing power

While voice control, MMS, spotlight searching, and video are all fairly common features on any other phones already on the market, Apple enthusiasts have been craving the changes since the initial release of the original iPhone. MMS, probably the biggest flop on Apple’s behalf, still will not be ready at the time that the 3.0 OS is released. This time, Apple is not at fault; however, AT&T has said that MMS and tethering support WILL NOT be available to iPhone customers until the end of this summer. Every iPhone customer on AT&T’s network was left infuriated by this news.

As if existing customers weren’t already upset enough, Apple decided to keep the price of the iPhone3GS unsubsidised, leaving customers who bought their iPhone 3G at release last year having to either pay full price, or wait for their upgrade discounts on their accounts. So, what is the pricing tree looking like, you ask?

For new customers, and those who have an upgrade to be spent on their account, the new iPhone prices are as follows:

• iPhone 3GS 16GB (White or Black) - $199
• iPhone 3GS 32GB (White or Black) - $299

For those customers who purchased an iPhone 3G last year and used their upgrades, or customers who want to buy the phone but just don’t have the discounted qualifications, the new iPhone prices are as follows:

• iPhone 3GS 16GB (White or Black) - $499
• iPhone 3GS 32GB (White or Black) - $599
