Or maybe it's plain being smitten by technology. I can convince myself that if I have a great mobile unit that I can trade on the move (or at least have the option of doing so).

Our Senior Developer Drue was showing me his Apple iPhone last week and I was blown away. Now I want one. As luck would have it today is a big day because Apple CEO Steve Jobs just delivered his keynote at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference.

It's official that the new iPhone 3G will be released and the price is the shocker, if there is a shocker in all this. Originally at $599, and now $399, it will be $199 for the 8GB and $299 for the 16GB - no word on a 32GB, but heck this is setting itself up for mobile domination.

You can get a moment-to-moment update on the TUAW liveblog.

I had never really looked at or considered the iPhone, but I'm rather determined now, more than ever to dump my Palm Treo and get with the times.
