Apple Launches New iPhone

" what will that do fall meet all the hype joining us now -- his hands on impression of the latest iPhone is Michael Ross. Rosie is lead blogger for the unofficial Apple web blog Michael great to see -- to be here. To a dot com we should mention the name of your blog. Bottom line is I love the business aspect of this story Apple is like a shark they just keep swimming. I had they never stop do that. That's right I mean this is a in many ways an incremental upgrade to the iPhone three G but it's an incremental upgrade that has everybody very very excited."

" People are calling it an evolution versus a revolution let's see what you've got your hands and you can explain sort of the positives and maybe some of the rough -- that you found so -- well I've actually got here both at eight -- iPhone three G with the white back here and I iPhone three -- ass with the black back of course they both come in both collars. And what's interesting about the three GS the primary feature is that it's got a video camera. -- mean you can actually take video on this phone -- not able to do with the earlier version focuses on camera one there now sorry guys say -- and you can take these video -- you can upload them to YouTube that's a -- tiger wearing back -- my iPhone launch date time on the site to get video of -- of my chest or anything I wanted to and uploaded immediately to. Mobile media which is Apple's online service to YouTube. Email doubts that this is a feature a lot of softens a pad for a long time and apples now really just catching up here it's."

" Also got that cool like compass on it but both the compass and the that that -- movie camera are unavailable for the free upgrade you can upgrade your old three G. For free but you won't get beyond the video equipment."

" That's right that the software upgrade for the three G is freely available you can get it both for the iPod and the iPhone and the iPod touch. -- a touch it'll cost you ten dollars."

" Does this generate as much excitement as the first launch because I was reading reports that the lines outside the Apple iPhone story here in Manhattan just up the street frankly on Fifth Avenue. We're not nearly as long this time brown."

" No they really weren't I mean there was quite it quite a large crowd there was a big presence there but I don't think it really matches up with the earlier launches in part because a lot of the most loyal customers are restricted by AT and t.'s upgrade policy. From upgrading for the most inexpensive price at this point they're either going to pay extra or they're going to have to wait so what happens long term do they win the battle based on your judgment does a three GS win the battle against the palm pre. The three GS is going to really make it hard for palm to make any inroads I mean that the thing with this phone is that. It's taking a phone that people are tremendously loyal to. That has an installed an application base of over 550000. Excuse me applications and countless developers out there. And people are very very excited about it Paul really has to build that enthusiasm somehow and it's going to be hard to do that from."

" A standing start except that they thought the keyboard in addition rental that's stream which side outbreak that -- love and people in Silicon Valley live -- it's a cool my clients that they -- my -- is Michael good to see you Michael -- of to a dot com we've got."
