The big thing about the just-announced iPhone 3G, apart from a guarantee that it’ll load websites twice as fast, is cost — the 8 GB version will retail for $199 and the 16 GB version for $299 vs. $400 for the current 8 GB version, which started out selling last June for $600 or thereabouts. A $400 drop in price plus improved features means every 8GB iPhone user in the world will give their ’07 phones to their kids.
