Steve Jobs is our hero. I heard from friends attending his keynote at WWDC that it was amazing. Jobs knows how to captivate an audience. He’s a maverick and his personality touches people.

The 3G iphone is beautiful. I have always liked the iphone from it’s launch. It’s the best phone I have ever had. For a price point starting at $199 you can’t say no.

It’s going to be three times as fast! EDGE is my biggest complaint with my iphone today. 3G is so much better than GPS because I don’t need GPS as much when I rely on the subway and cabs. It’s biggest flaw has been fixed with the 3G iphone. It’s open to developers now so we can expect to see a new era of creativity.

Bloggers are giving their praises. TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington writes, “I love the iPhone for the same reason I love technology in general, and loved Disneyland as a child - it drives my imagination and makes me wonder what kind of magic to expect next. Also, it just works.

The new iPhone, like the old one, delivers all of that in abundance. And I can’t wait to see what comes next.”

I look forward to what Apple and developers come up with next.
