At the Apple World Wide Developer's Conference in San Francisco, Steve Jobs today confirmed that the rumors of a 3G iPhone are true.
Notable additions are the inclusion of GPS, a flush mounted headphone jack, 8GB and 16GB storage sizes, and the 16GB iPhone is now available in both black and white.
Steve jobs had a map which showed the iPhone coming to Canada as one of the 70 countries to get the 3G iPhone in 2008. Jobs mentioned that the 8GB phone would not cost more than $199 anywhere in the world, so I would assume Roger's would have to honor these prices, however at this time pricing on the Apple Store and on Roger's site has not been announced.
Rogers and Fido are listed on the "where to buy" pages for the iPhone, so likely this means Canada will be one of the launch countries on July 11th, 2008.
I wonder how many of my clients will also be looking for integration to Exchange on Launch day!
More info should be out in the days to follow.
UPDATE: Rogers confirms pricing of $199 and $299 for the two models of the 3G iPhone, in this press release. Unfortunately that pricing is said to be on a 3 year plan, which has yet to be released.
