The iPhone 3G - said to be two times faster than the first-gen iPhone - is designed for longer talk times, and takes advantage of the high-speed network to provide built-in GPS mapping, Jobs said.

It also includes Wi-Fi support, and push email service like the one in Blackberry devices, letting business users send and receive Microsoft Exchange Email.
