Last year when iPhone was introduced, I found it tempting. With today’s launch of the iPhone 3G, the iPhone has become a more compelling device than it was last year, and here are Top reasons why you must have the new iPhone.

iPhone

Price. When the iPhone is Launched it was so expensive. But the new iPhone comes in at 199$ which is an amount most people can afford. Starting with $199 for a 3GB, $299 for the 16GB.

Applications Galore The App Store will be the single most important feature of the new iPhone. We already some cool demos during the keynote like blogging apps, games, medical applications. I see tremendous potential for useful–and downright fun–applications to come out of the development process now that the iPhone software developer’s kit is available. The potential for future apps, coupled with the iPhone’s existing programs–its iPod video and audio capabilities, its photo album, its easy e-mail, its Google Maps and YouTube apps–makes the iPhone 3G a unique offering in the mobile arena.

3G Browsing Speed. 3G was one of the most demanded features these days. 3G is 3 times faster than the EDGE that was a part of the original iPhone. According to Apple, Web pages will load up to 2.8 times faster. That’s a compelling argument: I’ve waited for what felt like hours for a PC World Shopping price-comparison page to load on my old EDGE-based Treo when I’ve been shopping in a store, for example. I’d much rather get the information I want sooner, rather than twiddling my thumbs and reaching for a cup of coffee.

Greater International Support. From a multilingual keyboard that you can change out on the fly to a user-removable SIM card (a SIM-card ejector comes with the iPhone 3G), new features in this model make it much more viable for international use. Whether you need to access the Web while overseas, or you want to swap out your SIM card (presumably, after an unspecified period of time, AT&T will let its customers unlock the phone for international use, as the company has allowed with its more standard phones), this model is better than the original.
