New iPhones are $199 and $299 (8 GB and 16GB.) 3G cellular (much faster) and GPS and longer battery life (we'll see about that.) Not much else different on the hardware front. Very nice software update though. They are really doing it right. (Maybe I'll post more on this if I get the time.) And their on line (web, email, remote backup) service .mac has been renamed 'MobileMe' and runs on the me.com domain (I'm meh on the name but that's a pretty nice domain - must have cost a few bucks.) The syncing is very tight between the iPhones and MobileMe. Contacts, email, even pictures are synced immediately over the air so your home machines and iPhone (and your shared calendars on your partners iPhone) all stay in sync all the time. $99/year is not cheap, but I think it's going to be so slick that you'll basically have to buy it. Good thing the phones are so cheap now - I guess that's the trade off.

Due on July 11. I'll be there.
