Well folks, the curtain's been pulled off the new 3G iPhone. They somehow made the darn thing thinner, with a Macbook-Air-like tapered profile. Front looks the same, back looks slightly different. Recessed headphone jack replaced with a flush one, so bye-bye adapter!
Some material swapping: the once-plastic side buttons are now solid metal, while the previously metal rear housing is now molded plastic.
The kicker for us was the new price: Just $199 for an 8-gig. Crazy considering this thing was going for $599 just a year ago.
Our thanks to Engadget for the every-ten-seconds updates! (Wired, we liked yours too, but EG had the purty pictures.)
And...Apple's just updated their site with the deets. You've got a month and two days 'fore you can get your mitts on one.

They actually managed to make the darn thing thicker while tell you the edge is thinner.
