New 3G iPhone Set for July 11th Release

New 3G iPhone

The demo above gives you a little more information, but in summary, Apple has addressed a couple of the big red flags on the iPhone. First and foremost, the new phone improves its speed with a 3G/quad band capability, but the phone now also supports Microsoft push technology (Exchange server), provides secure access to corporate resources, includes a standard headphone jack, and adds GPS to its maps feature.

The video doesn't provide detail on whether corporate IT managers will have access to remote device control/software upgrading, but clearly this is a huge step even without that.

On top of it all, the new, lower price of $200 puts the iPhone in a new range of price-to-features, clearly setting the stage for market penetration.
