A few days ago Apple announced the iPhone 3GS at the annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC). Apple was very short with the details on the new iPhone 3GS, however T-Mobile has spilt the beans and have posted a few hardware specs that the device will feature at launch in a few weeks:
According to the screen shot below, taken from the T-Mobile NL website, the iPhone 3GS will feature 256MB of RAM and a whooping 600 MHz processor. Previous versions of the iPhones that came to market included 128MB of RAM and a 412MHz processor. The added RAM alone will make a huge difference in speed and should allow larger applications run on the device.
Just in case you missed the original announcement, here"s a short recap of what"s to come with the iPhone 3GS (S=Speed):
- 3 mega-pixel camera with auto focus, auto white balance, and auto exposure. Doubles as a VGA video recorder at 30fps w/ audio
- Voice control, aka voice recognition
- Built in compass
- Improved battery life

Other countries will start receiving devices in July and August. And the price for the new device will be $199* for the 16GB model and $299* for the 32GB model, both available in black or white flavors.
