New iPhone set for faster Wi–Fi and FM transmitter

06 APR 2009

iPhone 3G – FM transmitter and better Wi–Fi ahoy!

We've already heard about plans to bring video editing software to the iPhone, but it seems there's going to be plenty more for us to devour come WWDC in June.

9to5Mac has got hold of plans to bring n standard Wi–Fi to the mighty mobile, making speeding around the on–board Safari even quicker when you're in a hotspot.

On top of that there are also suggestions that the phone will also come packing an FM transmitter, doing away with the need for shonky accessories. Admittedly this has been a feature of the iPhone's hottest rivals for some time, and even exists in the Apple cell for use with the Nike+ add–on.

However, enabling this feature to transmit would mean making calls in the car would be easier than ever. Let it receive and you're looking at getting proper turn by turn navigation instructions. Convenient as Apple said it would be bringing full–on satnav to iPhone 3.0.

Add this to plans for a 3.2MP camera and you're looking at a device that will doubtless inspire even more devotion amongst the Apple faithful.

Have your say

What Apple should be doing is going back to basics and making a phone that i can use....i would like to be able to every now and again forward the odd joke sent to me by SMS, maybe even take a pic of a night out with the lads in a nightclub. I think these basic needs are for more useful than using my iphone as a spirit level!!!

Maybe they should take a leaf out of Nokia's book and check out the N97 because i believe this phone is gonna knock the iphone off its pedastal.

There is no denying that the iphone is beautiful to behold...its wifi excellent..the apps store to die for and the joy you get from showing it to your friends and not letting them hold it..but i also want a phone i can use!!!
