Swiss iPhone, 3G iPhone on June 9th?

As rumored, Swisscom announced today that they would be delivering the iPhone to Switzerland later this year:

The iPhone will be available later this year. We will inform you personally as soon as we have more news.

As typical for these announcements, no details are provided.

Meanwhile, GeekSugar cites their "reliable inside source" and says that the 3G iPhone will indeed be launched on June 9th at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference keynote. This is in line with most evidence, though the recent disappearance of iPhone stock drove speculation that the 3G iPhone announcement could come even sooner.

Finally! A product that actually ships the day its announced! This is excellent news!

This also confirms to an extent the whole Video conferencing, GPS, Mobile TV report from yesterday, although I still believe Mobile TV is simply Video Capability, which is what it has now.

Talk about over confidence if they think they can afford to not have iPhone's sold for the next few weeks because they need to launch the phone at a bigger event than they can organise this month...

I think they have to ramp up production of the iPhone before they can start selling it to meet initial demand. I bet their current supply faded quicker than expected.

Better for me... People looking for an iPhone on eBay on June 8th will be quicker to bid ;)

I think with all the contract signings to distribute the Iphone globally has given Apple an arrogant attitude towards releasing the 3g Iphone. They know they will have no problem meeting their goal of 10mil by years end, they already have 5.4 million now. I am getting burned out on these rumors yet I still look at them every 5 minutes hoping for some nugget of info. I wish I could still believe in the May release but now I am definitely putting money on a June 9th announcement at the very least.

hopefully it's true..I plan to replace my aging Palm Treo with something new. Either the iPhone 3G or a Blackberry 9000. I still have to wait a bit, look which features the both have, at which prices they come and so on. And I think I stick to my Palm for the next time until it really gets screwed (besides the battery, mostly anything is still pretty good working, but I have the feeling I *need* something new and cool.)

Mobile TV..I don't know about America, but they are pushing it over here, they have been expanding the 3G network for some time and you see some ads for mobile TV (though I don't know anybody who really uses it, I wouldn't myself)

EDIT: I just realised that it's now knows, that Swisscom will be the carrier. I didn't know that it was confirmed until now. But my bet was on them anyway.

"arrogant attitude"?
You must be kidding. Apple will do what they have planned to do and will not be influenced by a bunch of speculation (most of it wrong).

They "GeekSugar" were right about the iMac refresh but that doesnt really count for that much.

9th also doesnt tie in well with the AT&T holiday announcement. I wonder how they are getting the info?? You are probably thinking what I am thinking lol...

Also on other related news in the article: How To Look Like Steve Jobs Aside: would be funny to have a Macrumors dress like Jobs contest, see who can look most like him lol.

Yea, 3G iPhone, what....

Seems like June 9th is too long to wait with no iPhones currently available.
