iPhone 3.0 will feature new APIs for developers to use such as: In App Purchase (DLC), Peer to Peer via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (local multiplayer), APIs for online multiplayer, and more than 100 new features such as MMS, copy and paste, tethering, Voice Memos and more. The update will come out on June 17. It will be free on all iPhone users and $9.95 for iPod Touch users.
Gameloft unveiled Asphalt 5 which will take advantage of the new software, it will feature local and online multiplayer with voice chat. It will be released later this Summer
ngmoco showed off its newest game Star Defense to take advantage of online multiplayer and In App Purchase to buy expansions. It came out today and the new 3.0 features will come sometime after the 3.0 launch. They also showed off Rolando 2, LiveFire, and Touch Pets: Dogs at a separate event today. All of these games will launch this Summer on the App Store.
Apple finally unveiled the newest iPhone called iPhone 3G S. The S stands for speed. It is twice as fast as the current iPhone 3G. It will also take advantage of faster 3G using AT&T's 7.2 mps HSDPA+. It supports Open GL ES 2.0 allowing even better looking 3-D graphics in games. It also includes new features such as the new 3.0 MP camera with autofocus, video recording, editing and uploading, digital compass, and voice control. It will cost $199 for 16GB and $299 for 32GB when it comes out on June 19. The current 8GB iPhone 3G is now $99.
For gamers, this means better graphics and games that will let us connect to each other and play. iPhone cannot be ignored when said it is a competitor against the Nintendo DS and PSP. Stay tuned for more news as it comes.

New Map App in iPhone 3G
The new Map App in iPhone 3G allows for pinpoint accuracy down to where your location is determied by a single pin on the map. It can even actively determine your location in real time, without needing to refresh thanks to 3G technology. But in the instance where no GPS signal can be found, the iPhone 3G can revert to the traditional method of location, using phone towers and routers.

iPhone 3G Supports Bluetooth + Other Wireless
iPhone 3G also appears to support Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, which was one of the only flaws in the original iPhone. And along with all the other technologies that make WiFi, EDGE, and 3G available, Apple needed to make some antennas for it. But they cleverly hid them, so they are completely hidden from view.
The antennas are located around the camera lense, around the metal audio jack, and inside the screen itself. So, now you won't lose signal every time your hand moves over while using the internet!

YouTube App Update
The keynote may have ended, but even more updates are spilling out from Apple's website. So, I decided to pick through the site with a fine tooth comb to make sure I picked up on everything. And though it wasn't advertised at all, I ntoiced that there was definetely a different look to the YouTube, which means that an update to the YouTube App will be available in the iPhone 2.0 update. Though it mainly appears to be a work in progress, as not much else appears to have changed other than text color.
