Apple's WWDC (World Wide Developer Conference) got under way at the Moscone Center in San Francisco today (6PM GMT+1) and amid discussion of the myriad of new features that iPhone 2.0 will bring, news of the new iPhone model is beginning to filter through.
As expected it will sport 3G rather than EDGE for faster mobile browsing but most importantly the new model will contain a GPS receiver. Although GPS support had been discovered in the SDK some weeks ago it was not known until now if this meant the new model would contain a GPS receiver.
It's unlikely that the iPhone will ship with a navigation package, Google Maps is already pre-installed but doubtless the Appstore will be the place to look once it opens for business. Engadget are reporting that TomTom have an iPhone solution running already.
