3G
(1) (3rd Generation) The third version of a product or system. See iPhone 3G. (2) (3rd Generation) The current generation of cellular transmission, which primarily features higher speeds for Internet access and real-time video. In the U.S., the major 3G technologies are EV-DO for CDMA networks, such as used by Verizon and Sprint, and HSDPA for GSM networks for carriers such as AT&T and T-Mobile. For example, the iPhone 3G, Apple's second generation iPhone, uses HSDPA, a 3G technology. For more details, see cellular generations and iPhone.
