More iPhone 3G buzz from Uncle Walt

scratch that:

iphone sdk release and 3g iphone/sdk announcement
june 9-13; 3g iphone june 29;

they may not even allow third party apps on there at first.

no i think the 2.0 software and the 3g iphone will come on 2 seperate dates. who says they cant celebrate iphone anniversary with the software update the turns the iphone into an ACTUAL iphone. im aiming for early/middle june. that way it gives developers time to make apps for new iphone. im sure with all its going to offer (gps, better camera, better battery, faster internet) theyll want to create new apps. if you can use the same sdk. if not then, during the WWDC apple will release new sdk and ANNOUNCE the new iphone, maybe 2 weeks ahead of time?

3g iphone sdk-june 9-13; (normal) iphone sdk- june 20; 3g iphone june 29;

60 Days from April 7th = June 7th

WWDC 2008 = June 9th

June 9th Keynote = iPhone 3G

Any surprise?

i especially like the little remark about how the video revolution won't take place over "IP". i'd seriously like to see how else its going to happen, since "IP" is the ONLY way all of us are EVEN connected on the internet.

I respect Mossburg and all, but, in all honesty, I would say it is a pretty safe bet to say it will go 3G within the next 60 days. We all know the iPhone WILL go 3G, no matter what. The best time to do it from an Apple point of view is a year after the first came out. With all the sales, stock numbers and such, I think 3G in 60 days isn't much of a far-fetched idea.

The iPhone to me was expected but Walt hit the nail on the head regarding internet connectivity here in the US. It is atrocious!

I recently moved our office to a new location and we were found many fliers and pieces of mail offering high speed internet... turns out for that location and 10 of the other office spaces we looked at high-speed meant a 1.5mbit/384kbit dsl connection unless we wanted to pay 700 plus dollars for a T1 line... ooh T1... 1.5mbit up, 1.5mbit down, that is so super fast and managed. The local formerly "Bell" company has got to get a clue. Oh then I checked with the cable providers... they would not service the buildings unless we paid for the installation from the nearest location which was just over 150 feet... due to trenching, the cost was to be over $5,000.

I am sick of the connections and charging practices of our so-called broadband providers. If I am going to pay for a 1.5mbit connection, do me a favor and give me 1.5mbit, if I pay for a 8mbit connection grant me 8mbit. Its time to do away with this speedboost nonsense and to start giving us as consumers and/or businesses the connections we pay for.

Thats my thought and I am sure glad that someone has made this issue known.

I think Walt is right, well see the announcement by Steve J at WWDC with launch date on the iPhone 1yr anniversary on the last day of June. Although, I'd love for Steve to mix it up a bit and do his "One More Thing... Available NOW" BOOM!

I bet you he actually downloads torrents...
he's human...

Interesting post at http://www.personafile.com/products regarding 3g iphone coverage.

I could care less about 3G.
