Yes, I do like the iPhone 3G. Apple have done an extremely good job with their second version of the iPhone and they deserve kudos for it. There will never be a perfect gadget, however for their second try Apple comes close. I’ll talk about these in another post, but I wanted to share the top 10 things that I like about the iPhone 3G.

1. It’s fast - Out of all the PDA phones, I have had, the iPhone 3G is the fast. The speed at which it executes tasks is amazing. This of course can be attributed to its 600+MHz processor.

2. No need for stylus - One of my pet hates of Windows Mobiles devices was the emphasis on using the stylus. Not only was it annoying to use, but stylii are also very easy to lose.

3. Stylish design - Let’s face it, Apple have some pretty hip designers working for them. Sleek, minimalist, suave and white are normally attributes that are associate with Apple products. If you could call devices sexy, the iPhone is it. The large screen, smooth finish and flushed metal buttons, make it tech eye candy.

4. Install new apps / tunes on the fly - There is nothing like finding a good app while surfing in bed and installing it there and then! You could not do this with a Windows Mobile device; involved download a .zip file then unzipping to initiate setup file on your PC. Downloading cool apps, videos or songs wherever and whenever is the way of the future!

After all the rumors preceding its announcement, the official unveiling of the 3G iPhone at WWDC was a bit anti-climactic. In fact, the mock-ups which circulated the web were actually quite well-done that what I saw wasn’t really anything new.
