Moot,

I just got word from one of my geekazoid friends (the one I mentioned to you previously) .... supposedly there is to be some kind of iPhone announcement within the next few days .... I haven't been able to locate the rumor site where he got that data yet .... but there has been alot of iPhone "buzz" over the last couple of days apparently - some of it having to do with a 3G iPhone due to be released in Q2 2008 (April - June)

There apparently just was a conference call for Wall Street recently where a number of things were mentioned related to the iPhone (although no word of any future products - which is not unusual as they are never officially discussed until they are actually released) Here's a snippet from one of todays articles from the MacRumors site:

"Analyst predictions of a 3G iPhone are nothing new, but a new report points to specific sources knowledgeable about this anticipated update. After meeting with Taiwanese electronics companies Citigroup’s Richard Gardner claims that his sources have confirmed that the 3G iPhone will be released in 2nd Quarter calendar year. If correct, this would pinpoint the release between April-June 2008.

3G is the next generation wireless data that promises much faster speeds over the EDGE technology in existing iPhones. Apple's Steve Jobs has said that existing 3G chipsets drew too much power for them to be used in the original iPhone. Recent advances in wireless chipset technology have reportedly addressed these power consumption issues. Coincidentally, AT&T recently announced that they are expanding their 3G network to nearly 350 U.S. markets by the end of 2008.

Plans for a 3G iPhone have been well publicized, with comments by Steve Jobs and AT&T's CEO suggesting the 3G iPhone is coming in 2008"
