i didnt think there would have been much chance that it wouldnt have got approval. Apple must have been designing this for years. Maybe someone technically minded can divulge some extra information out of the information revealed here though...

This has little to nothing to do with the OS development or form... just that the radio devices meet certain standards and whatnot.
Yes, it's an important benchmark but it doesn't really boast Apple's brilliance or anything.

The FCC approval, Serial and IMEI # will be laser etched onto the back of the iPhone.

maybe this means we can have custom engraved messages like iPods, or it opens it up to be laser-engraved by the network (here in uk, all networks seem to brand their phones, dont know what its like over your side of the atlantic)

The approval is dated "02/06/07", so it looks like it happened more than 3 months ago..

Jobs said the reason it would be released in June was because the FCC approval takes a while. Doesn't this show that it was approved 2 months ago?
