Apple CEO Steve Jobs today introduced the second-generation iPhone with new pricing and with 3G and GPS capabilities.

An 8GB iPhone 3G will sell for $199 — one-third of what the 8GB iPhone sold for at launch. A 16GB model will sell for $299, and will come in white and black versions. Sales of the new handsets will begin on July 11.

Jobs made the announcements in his keynote speech kicking off this year’s Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco.

he headphone jack is now flush with the upper edge of the phone — a huge improvement over the design of the previous version, which required a kludgy plug to connect a headphone.

Another enhancement over the first-generation iPhone is a boost to the device’s battery life. In spite of its faster broadband data speeds, the device will offer up to 300 hours of standby time, up to 10 hours of 2G talk time (compared with eight hours on the previous model), and up to five hours of 3G talk time.

“That’s actually a very large amount of 3G talk time. We’re very proud of this,” said Jobs. The phone will run for five to six hours of high-speed Web browsing and seven hours of video viewing. Music playback is good for up to 24 hours of battery life (which puts the new iPhone right alongside stand-alone iPod audio players).

Software improvements

Many of the iPhone 3G’s improvements will be found in its software tweaks, dubbed iPhone 2.0. For example, the phone will now support a slew of core features for enterprise security (including VPN and WPA wireless encryption). In addition, you can search through contacts, display iWork documents and Microsoft Office files, and save images received in e-mail to your photo library. It also offers batch delete and move support while in the e-mail app, and multilingual support.

Good news, Dior lovers: More pictures, and details, of the upcoming Dior mobile phone have emerged. We knew the fashion house was introducing a luxury handset after images of the phone appeared online, but the pictures didn’t really reveal anything about specifications, pricing and color.

Lucky for us, an article on the Wall Street Journal gives us a few more details regarding the designer phone, which will be initially available in Russia and China. The reason for this, according to Dior Chief Executive Sidney Toledano, is there’s a bigger demand for luxury goods there, and consumers living in these countries really pay attention to color and design when buying a phone.

But don’t be disheartened if you really want one, because this phone will work in most parts of the world, except Japan and Korea, where it isn’t compatible with local wireless networks. Specifications are still a bit sketchy, but we do know the features on the Dior phone include a touchscreen, a camera, and special ringtones.

What really makes the Dior handset stand out though is the accompanying clip-on mini-phone that comes with the model. This unusual attachment called “My Dior” is about the size of a USB key and connects to the main handset via Bluetooth to make it easy for the user to answer any incoming calls.

As you can see from the picture above, the phone will be available in pink, red, and white when it goes on sale later this year for $5,000.
