Simplification of 3G

Understanding the meaning of the rumored Apple 3G, with a little extraterrestrial assistance.

The 3G iPhone has gone extraterrestrial.

Or has it? The Apple iPhone (AAPL) is rumored to be releasing a 3G phone very soon. The gadget, which even an alien could probably love, is being anticipated by many consumers.

But what exactly does 3G mean? Luddites may be thinking a stack of thirty $100 bills or something about the year 3000. Well  $3,000 for a cell phone sounds like too much of a price hike. That can’t be it. And, let’s be honest, if you’re reading this now, your life expectancy rate won’t stretch until the year 3000.
