Well it just so happens I am eligible for upgrade in June when the 3rd gens come out!  Hopefully at least a few of these leaks are true!

AT&T Excited about new IPhone

From the not-all-that-surprising-department, Apple’s exclusive U.S. partner for the iPhone, AT&T, is said to be tickled about an upcoming release of the iPhone that will be faster and add some AT&T-developed features, such as a U-Verse application. As most people expect, the new iPhone is expected to arrive some time around June, and is turning into “an annual tradition.” (Source: The Boy Genius Report).

Some of the rumors from Boy Genius:

We can’t tell you where or who, but pretty high up in AT&T’s food chain, the following was reported to be said:

• New iPhone announcement around mid-June (duh)


• New iPhone will be faster and have a more seamless experience unmatched by any device (could be just talking about 3.0, but we think it’s also a new iPhone)


• U-Verse iPhone application; will allow control of your home DVR (play, pause, rewind, etc.)


• The annual iPhone launch is “becoming a tradition.”


• Nothing official is being confirmed, but they said that people should prep for an exciting time this summer.


• AT&T is said to be working with Apple to create a unified product with an unparalleled experience across all their products and services.


• Apple’s 3.0 software should tell us where the iPhone platform is going… uh, k?


• They said customers shouldn’t need to choose from AT&T’s high-end devices because of features, they should choose based on preferences. The gap in capability should be filled with the new iPhone. Ok, bets on slide out QWERTY, autofocus camera, video sharing, blah blah?


• Seems like the higher speed HSDPA (7.2Mbps) is being hinted at too which should confirm the earlier rumors of the new Infineon chipset.


• The $99 3G netbook will start selling this summer, and the first one won’t be a Windows OS.

For clarification, the above is 100% confirmed.

100% clarification, huh? I will settle for 60% truth.  Sign me up!
