Australia will get the iPhone 3G on July 11 and it does indeed have quite a few improvements over the current iteration but notable omissions have disappointed some fans.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs introduces a new version of Apple's popular iPhone Monday at the company's Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco. New features include a faster 3G Internet connection, GPS and new apps.
