Mossberg Denies 3G iPhone Knowledge

Walt Mossberg denies having any specific knowledge of the 3G iPhone's release, despite matter-of-fact comments to the contrary last week.

But Walt notes that in the clip, he's making an aside during a larger point about data networks, and says that in any event, he doesn't know if it's correct. So where'd it come from? It's a ballpark estimate, he says, based on... the same speculation the rest of us are seeing.

Is he retracting his statement or clarifing that it is just speculation based on the same rumors we see?

I think he knows, the statement was just too straight forward and confident.

this is exactly what i suspected. he was making a ballpark estimate in the heat of the moment. i don't know why anyone ever believed his prediction in the first place! apple release the 3g iphone before wwdc? pfff. not a chance.

the next gen iphone will be announced on june 9th and be available in stores june 30th - exactly one year after iphone 1.0. is it really that difficult to figure out? it won't come any sooner than that. jeez people.

I think he was right, and he does have info in advance of certain Apple products. He has a good relation with Apple. He had to take back his statement I'm sure Steve got mad, and threatened to not give products in advance anymore.
