iPhone 3G announced today

yeah there's a few nokias with GPS as well (and a lot of the new range coming out over the next few months) and a bunch of OEM windows mobile devices... but it's the combination of GPS plus a large third-party developer community (which Apple has, and BlackBerrys lack) that really makes it interesting.

it's all about the software.

You think? The iPhone isn't open yet for a start. And as someone who's worked in the open mobile software industry for the last ten years I'm still waiting to see a successful application that people actually pay for after they've bought their phone.
