Is this the iPhone 3G chip?

"This chip also includes a higher resolution camera, 5 mega-pixels instead of a 2"

Knee-jerk comment: um, you must mean "camera processor"

Refined edit: How much of the "camera" isn't on this chip...just lens+CMOS sensor?

I am desperately hoping that this is all a hoax.

A 4G processor is on the way!!....... imagine that!

I suppose hot spots will do the trick, instead...

i wonder if the 3g iphone will be a new look to. i mean surely they wouldnt just send out a new version of the fone without changing the look. i wonder if itll be that dual sided trackpad thing that apple got a patened (spelled rite?) for? hmmm..

so what would the difference be between this one and the other one everybody thought they were using... broadcam is it?

Would you guys shut up about a 3G iPhone!!

I'm trying to dump my old iPhone on eBay...lol.

Looking at the manufactureres website, the SGOLD3 is only EDGE, where as the SGOLD3H is 3G. And it clearly states in ZiPhone's discovery that it is the SGOLD3 and not SGOLD3H

Failed discovery.

By the way, a question I have to ask is that are there any chipsets that support T-Mobile's upcoming flavor of 3G using the 1700Mhz frequency? If not, then I'm probably going to have to jump ship to AT&T, even though TMo is WAY cheaper for what I need.

The fact-sheet of the 8878 is actually:

After thinking of it - it's propably not enough to find the power-consumption of the chip alone. I guess there is additional power-consumption by the antenna-amplifiers as well....

The datasheet states "3 MPixel camera interface" not 5.

With some digging around the web, I located the actual manufacture page for the board.

It seems that it's not just a chip, but an entire 3G Cell Board. Very interesting.
