Second bite of the Apple iPhone at half price

YOU wait 80 years for an invention to beat sliced bread and then two come along within months — at least this is what the makers of the Apple iPhone would have us believe.

Just three months after the first generation of the internet-based mobile phone was launched here, the newfangled 3G-model is about to hit the market.

And, better still, it is almost half the price of the versions bought by gadget-hungry shoppers in March.
