3G stands for 3rd generation of the GSM technology. GSM is global system for mobile communication which connects all mobiles using wireless network.

In initial ages GSM technology was only transfering of speech i.e voice calls. that was the first generation of GSM.

IN second generation of GSM we have Voice calls + SMS services(short messaging services)+ GPRS (slow internet connection upto 32 KBps approx). At present we in India have been using upto 2nd generation of GSM technology.

Now as the auction for 3G is over and services are on the way to go.We will have features of 2G + fast internet connection upto 16MBps or may be more than this+awsome features of DATA and related applications as a developer to some extent to create client specific customized features with faster response from network.
