Just over a year ago, Apple introduced the world to the iPhone.  Since then, it has become one of the fastest selling smartphones for both business and personal use.  In fact, many experts claim that it has transformed the way that people view and use their cellular phones.

This morning, Apple has released the new 3G version of the iPhone, which includes many new features.  It has also upgraded the iPhone firmware for all users, including the original iPhone, launched its App Store on iTunes v. 7.7, and released its new MobileMe service.

    Just a few quick observations from an iPhone 2g to 3g upgrader:
    1. Thought I’d hate the plastic back, and in fact I like it better than the aluminum as it fits in the had better than the old form.
    2. EXCHANGE ACTIVESYNC – that says it all. It delivers email from our Exchange Server even before it hits my desktop; every bit as fast as BES. RIM should be very scared (even though it doesn’t sync notes and tasks, but then again neither does Entourage).
    3. Durability looks even better than the 2g; check out today’s PC World where the tester WASHES the 3g with soap and water under a running faucet; also repeats the baggie and keys scratch test from the 2g with flying stars.
    4. Bought the 16gb version and the additional space is a godsend.
    5. App Store – the iPhone is truly a new computing platform. I can’t wait for PocketInformant and Docs to Go. The games are every bit as good as any handheld game player my kids have had, so my guess there are no limits to what we’ll be doing with this thing in six months.
    6. GPS is every bit as accurate as my Curve.
    7. WHERE IS CUT & PASTE? Come on Apple, this is a number 1 priority if you plan to penetrate the enterprise.
