3G iPhone Arriving in 2nd Quarter 2008?
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 Citigroups 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.

Good news. When the iPhone was first released, I didn't really have a use for 3G because my city wasn't covered yet. Now it is. :) I'm looking forward to this update and will be happy to sell my current iPhone when the time comes.

Well they do need a 3G phone to roll out to some places (Japan) and really to help it sell in Europe.
I was expecting them to wait until September, but it's probably worth getting out before that so the worldwide rollout can begin.

I'll jump to a 3G iPhone just as soon as they are available. EDGE is just too plain slow.

A Wi-Fi iChat would eliminate the need for SMS messaging plans. If it could somehow tie into that system and be able to send to people's phones as well as iChat contacts, it would undermine the very fabric of AT&T's system.
Your Jobsness, I beg of you... DO THIS.
