AT&T Was booed at 2009 WWDCUsually when Apple releases iPhones, their US network partner gets things first, and the rest of us have to wait. This time around however, AT&T was booed and laughed at when new features for the iPhone 3G S were announced at the WWDC keynote, and it was mentioned that these new features that rely on the carrier would not immediately be available on AT&T.

An interesting article in the LA Times and interview with an AT&T spoken appeared today, which provides excuses, I mean answers as to why they are lagging behind the rest of the world.

Although much the same look as the existing iPhone 3G, the new hardware is faster, the battery lasts longer, has a 3 MegaPixel Autofocus camera with Video support, and built-in GPS with compass among other features. Although this new hardware will be a vast improvement, The iPhone OS 3.0 software that will run on the new device will also be able to be installed on previous versions of the iPhone, and the iPhone Touch will be available June 17th, and will give users many of the cool features that were demonstrated at todays WWDC Keynote Address, such as copy and paste, voice dialing, MMS messaging etc...

Many questions remained however in regards to pricing, plans, and if there would be a cost for the new features.
