It seems pretty safe to assume now that the 3G iPhone we are all waiting patiently for will be launched in late June. AT&T has sent out an email to its retail sales staff indicating that they should not take vacation between June 15th and July 12th because there will be a product release that will result in large amounts of customer traffic in the retail stores. This is the best indication yet that Apple will indeed be releasing the 3G iPhone in June and what better day than on the 1 year anniversary of the iPhone release to release the next generation iPhone.
Now there are talks of the iPhone coming in three models as well. There is rumored to be a $399 8GB version, $499 16GB version, and a $599 32GB version available. We will just have to wait to see, but all of this is getting me really excited about the new iPhone coming out (I am such a sucker for cool gadgets!).

As the inevitable release of the 3G iPhone approaches more and more speculation and rumors comes out talking about what the 3G iPhone will include in the update. I am hoping for modest improvements, but of course there are sites even claiming things like video and 5 megapixel cameras, free internet in more places, $200 AT&T subsidy on the purchase with a contract (this one makes a lot of sense actually), and even WiMax. WiMax would be the most interesting of all of these features for sure. Although I see no real need for that technology on this next iPhone model, in the future that could be an awesome thing to have. Possibly they are trying to push the technology out there early on so that WiMax becomes more common. Newer versions of WiMax are capable of faster speeds than WiFi and ranges of up to 30 miles. I am not sure about the 30 miles (I would have to see it to believe it), but the potential for metropolitan areas being in a bubble of wireless internet is something that I have always wanted. Internet should be free and that is the way to do it.
As for the actual looks of the 3G iPhone there are tons of speculations along with likely fake pictures. Below are the dimensions that are posted everywhere on the internet.

Some may think I have gone mad by selling my iPhone (WHAT!?!), but hear me out. When I found out the new 3G iPhone was likely coming out soon I suddenly had this feeling that I had to have it, but I didn't have the money. The only way I could think of to get the money I needed was to sell my iPhone on eBay. I went ahead and unlocked the iPhone and posted it on eBay and it sold faster than I thought it would. Now I have $350 for the new one when it comes out hopefully in June.
The only problem is that for the next two months or so I will be without iPhone unless I find one refurbished for $300 or less. It is going to be rough, but I will live and I will get that iPhone I really wanted too.

Exciting news came out the other day that the next iPhone was likely to come out in the summer of 2008. This next generation iPhone is likely to have all of the gadgets and gizmos we were looking for on the first one:
- GPS
- 3G
- Third party applications
- More customizable features
- Smaller Screen?
- Lighter
All this will be exciting to see and I am sure that Apple will announce to 3G iPhone release soon. Word is that the iPhone will look very similar to the one now except for a shiny black back to the iPhone and no more recessed headphone jack. Hopefully this also means they are looking into having Bluetooth headphones available and more Bluetooth functionality which the first iPhone lacked.

If you’ve been following the verbal sparring between Apple and China Mobile’s vocal CEO Wang Jianzhou, PhoneMag has an incredibly detailed analysis of the current battle for what could potentially be the iPhone’s biggest market.ÂÂÂ
“There is more than $115 million US Dollars at stake for Apple in China. [T]he competitors at the table are deadly serious. And they should be. They have turf to protect. Nokia, for one, sold more than 50 million mobile handsets in China during the first 3 quarters of 2007. Research in Motion (RIM) is another key player. RIM recently signed a deal with China Mobile to distribute their Blackberry 8700 smart-phone. RIM has bet big on the China market” Dan Butterfield, PhoneMag
