The biggest surprise to come out of Apple’s WWDC keynote was not the announcement of the iPhone 3G, with its improved battery life, 3G data network support, or GPS functionality.  It was the price of such a wondrous device.

Launching in 22 countries on July 11th at a price point of only $199 for the 8GB, it’s clear Apple means to break this device to the masses.  There will also be a 16GB model for $299 that will also come in white.

Here’s a slide of the promised battery life improvements – as always, we’ll see how real world use shakes out.
