3G iPhone Rumor of the Day (Citibank Edition)

Citibank is claiming that we'll see a 3G iPhone in the US within 6 months. They argue that:
1. Apple's iPhone inventory is low

But at the same time, many are pointing out that a 3G iPhone may never come to the US, and instead AT&T would offer iPhone users a piece of their sweet 700mHz cake for Wi-Fi anywhere. Boy oh boy. Isn't all this speculation fun? [macworld via crunchgear]

Citibank Releases RFID Credit Cards

People who claim RFID marks the end of the world should probably step aside for a moment now that Citibank is starting to release credit cards that use the radio technology. The MasterCard PayPass looks like a ordinary keychain, but the embedded RFID chip replaces the traditional magnetic strip found on regular credit cards. Once waved in front of a PayPass reader, the user's credit card is automatically charged. Considering such readers aren't very common yet, the RFID credit card is still some time away from replacing your precious piece of plastic. More »
