Apple announces cheaper 3G iPhone

Apple has unveiled a second generation of its iPhone, with support for faster 3G wireless networks. The company is hoping to boost its share of the smartphone market, which is dominated by Nokia and Blackberry.

The new devices were launched by Apple boss Steve Jobs who said the phone would be ""more affordable"" for consumers, starting at $199 (£100).

The new iPhone also comes with GPS satellite navigation built in for location-based services.

The iPhone was first launched last year and was criticized for its support for slower 2G networks only.

Mr. Jobs said the 3G iPhone was ""three times faster"" downloading content over a mobile network compared to the original device.

Analyst John Delaney, research director for consumer mobile at IDC, said the iPhone 3G was disappointing. ""To me it's more about what they didn't say, than what they did. Everyone knew it would be 3G and have GPS.""

Yes, it sounds dramatically, but based on the demo, these much _ will work more easily to with Flash and make much more easily for beginners for time beam cos-ordination.

Another cool feature is that when you move the object to the end state, a dotted line shows along the route between, indicating where you just going to go to the site. Want to change the way? Simply moving object and automatically updates the line. Not enough? Adjust the line just like any other line in a curved Flash / Illustrator make it a more rounded, or to increase the length by adjusting the end point to your liking.

• 64-bit support
• Hydra to use the GPU (if available)
