100+ iPhone 2 Designs I Guarantee Steve Jobs Won't Unveil Anytime Soon

I recently challenged you all to come up with the most ridiculous iPhone 2 concept designs possible, and boy oh boy did you ever deliver. What you're about to see is over 100 of the most impractical, nonsensical and flat-out retarded cellphone designs the world has ever seen. No, you won't be seeing any of these on stage at WWDC next month and you certainly won't see them at the Apple store, but hopefully the sheer insanity and creativity of your fellow readers will tide you over until the real thing drops. Enjoy.

Rumor: AT&T Says No Employee Vacations Between June 15 and July 12 For the 3G iPhone

According to cellpassion, AT&T's pulling a similar move as Apple did last year, disallowing any employee vacations for a period from June 15 to July 12. If this is true, there's only one reason why AT&T would do this: the 3G iPhone. Why did they pick June 15 when the keynote for WWDC is June 9? Beats me. It seems more and more likely that the phone is coming, however, so don't buy anything until after June unless you want to be a sad sack. [Cellpassion]

Latest by literato: @frigg: "3G" means that the phone uses the third generation network for mobile communication. I don´t know the name of the network in the US, but here in Europe its calle UMTS. As you can see, calling it 3G is easier more »

iPhone Case Manufacturers Get a Sneak Peek at 3G iPhone Dimensions, Specs?

iLounge brings up this interesting, and true-sounding, story of iPhone peripheral manufacturers getting pre-briefed on specs for the 3G iPhone before the device is even announced. It makes sense since these companies need the specs to make cases that actually fit, but only need as little detail as possible to do so. Here's what one of these manufacturer says the new one will have: slightly different tapering on the edges, a different speaker/mic hole setup, slightly different sensor arrangement (possibly even a front camera), and a red, white or black color scheme.

AT&T's 3G iPhone Is $199 This Summer

According to Fortune, AT&T's going to further subsidize the iPhone down as much as $200, making the final retail price a scant $199 with two-year-contract. The rumor is that the $200 bonus will only be available in AT&T stores, not in Apple stores, so people buying and exporting or using it with T-Mobile will be paying the higher price. Current first-gen iPhone users probably won't get this $200 subsidy when upgrading either, unless perhaps they renew for another 2 years. More »

Foxconn Building 3G iPhone, Prepping June Launch?

The China-based Commercial Times has reported that Foxconn, the company behind the first iPhone, is prepping a 3G model for late May. With Apple's anticipated announcement expected at WWDC in early June, Foxconn is preparing for shipments of three million 3G iPhones during that month. And through the product's lifespan, the manufacturer anticipates shipping 24-25 million 3G iPhones. So does that mean we finally have a better rumor on our hands? UNCONFIRMED: APPLE PREPPING 4G iPHONE. [digitimes] Thanks everyone!

3G iPhone's Upcoming Chip Found?

The iPhone SDK Beta 3 has barely been out for a few hours and Zibri, maker of the ZiPhone iPhone tool, has found references to a future 3G chip inside the new firmware. The chipset is the SGOLD3, which follows up the current S-GOLD2 in today's iPhone. Here's what the S-GOLD3 has support for, not all of which will make it into the next-gen iPhone: HSDPA category 8 (7.2 Mbps), cameras of up to 5-megapixels, MPEG4/H.263 hardware acceleration and "video telephony, streaming, recording and playback." Again, Apple might not enable all these features in the actual 3G iPhone, but at least we know that they're theoretically possible. [ZiPhone]

Mossberg Takes Back 3G iPhone in 60 Days Quote

The Walt Mossberg clip that made the rounds this weekend, proclaiming the 3G iPhone a mere 53 days away? He just backpedaled on it, swearing he has no better idea than we do. And if he did, he'd give himself scoop: "If I knew when this date was, why would I announce it in the middle of a sentence at the Finnish embassy, rather than report it in the Wall Street Journal?" Guess that chat with Steve straightened everything out, though is it really something he can take back? [Silicon Alley Insider]

Turn a Nokia into a 3G Wi-Fi Hotspot With JoikuSpot

Just like WMWifiRouter did for 3G Windows Mobile phones, JoikuSpot allows 3G S60 Nokia phones to act like a Wi-Fi hotspot for other devices. The principle is the same: a 3G connection comes in, goes through the phone, and out to your iPhone or laptop (through Wi-Fi) so you can access 3G on the go. However, JoikuSpot only supports HTTP and HTTPS, so Outlook, Skype and BitTorrent may not work (maybe not even some types of VPN). May want to poke around for more info before you rely on this for work on the go. [Joiku via IntoMobile]

CNBC: 3G iPhone Coming by June 2008

According to CNBC's Jim Goldman, Apple will be dropping a 3G iPhone on us by June of next year at the latest, probably in late May. It's not unreasonable, with a new model coming out about a year after the first. Combine 3G speeds with larger flash drives, and the iPhone will be a lot more appealing to a lot more people who have been holding out for just such upgrades. [Appleinsider]
