With fast 3G wireless technology, GPS mapping, support for enterprise features like Microsoft Exchange, and the new iPhone 3G puts even more features at your fingertips. And like the original iPhone, it combines three products in one - a revolutionary phone, a wide screen iPod, and a breakthrough Internet device with rich HTML email and a desktop-class web browser. iPhone 3G. It redefines what a mobile phone can do, again.

It allows you to enjoy music and video on a wide-screen display and shop for music with a tap, you can make a call by tapping a name or send a text with the intelligent keyboard, also browse the real web, get HTML email, and find yourself with GPS maps.

Map with GPS helps you to find your location, get directions, and see traffic - all from your phone. Maps on iPhone 3G combines GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell tower location technology with the Multi-Touch interface to create the best mobile map application ever. Just like Google Maps on your computer, Maps on iPhone lets you switch between map view, satellite view, and a hybrid view of both. Multi-Touch makes the difference: Tap to zoom, pan, and change your view on the move.
