Pictures of the new gadget displayed at Apple’s annual conference on Monday show it to be even thinner, with a black plastic back, solid metal buttons, and the same display and camera. The announcement that the new device would have a flush headphone jack and dramatically improved audio was greeted by roaring applause.

“The way I look at it is there are 1.2 billion cellphones out there, and we’re just scratching the surface,” said Mike Laziridis, CEO of Research In Motion, which makes the BlackBerry, the iPhone’s closest rival.

Steve Jobs is expected to announce the second version of the iPhone on Monday morning during a keynote speech kicking off Apple’s annual Worldwide Developer’s Conference.
