It's better but it's not perfect. It shares many of the shortcomings of the original version released last year.
The major new feature is its high-speed - or 3G - data antenna. This allows the device to access Web pages, send and receive e-mail and download songs much faster than its predecessor.
That's a big deal, because the slow download speeds of the old iPhone were one of the main things that users and reviewers complained about. Speed is no longer the device's Achilles' heel.
The other major new feature on the iPhone is a global positioning antenna. I didn't get to test it out for driving directions, but the device - coupled with the pre-installed Google Maps program - was able to locate me inside my house with dead-on accuracy. It also was able to quickly show me traffic conditions on nearby highways.
The coolest thing about the new iPhone is not limited to it alone: Users can now download and install additional applications for both old iPhones and new ones. The feature is a part of the new 2.0 iPhone software, which is available as a free download for the old iPhone and for a $10 charge for iPod touch users.
Apple has added a special section to its iTunes store where users already can find hundreds of different applications, including games, utilities and multimedia programs.
Among the applications I downloaded and tested were one from Apple called "Remote," that allows the iPhone to remotely control the songs or movies playing on your computer.
All in all, I like it. =]
Hope I helped, let me know.
