More 'Confirmation' of 3G iPhone... in June?

I wish they'd do a version without a camera (but I know they wont ) so I could use it in work. That would be so perfect for me.

I don't think they will either, but one never knows, especially considering they are supposedly making a push for enterprise.

lol! are you serious? I can't tell if you are joking, really bad at sarcasm, or just woefully misinformed, but that statement is patently false! 97% (or more) of all phones use a standard LCD screen. Now I'm not sure about Japan/Korea, but at least in the US/EURO market, I believe there have been less than five phones EVER that have used OLED technology.
Organic LED technology is VERY new and is just starting to trickle into consumer electronics. They promise very low power usage, incredible contrast and color range, very slim profiles, and even flexible displays. Although there is a lot of R&D in progress, the organic light-emitting layer still has a short lifetime (especially the blue component), and the manufacturing yields are still low. But within 3-5 years, I'd guess they will overtake LCD screens in small applications like cell phones.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLED#Commercial_uses

OLED technology is used in commercial applications such as small screens for mobile phones and portable digital audio players (MP3 players), car radios, digital cameras, and high-resolution microdisplays for head-mounted displays. Such portable applications favor the high light output of OLEDs for readability in sunlight, and their low power drain. Portable displays are also used intermittently, so the lower lifespan of OLEDs is less important here. Prototypes have been made of flexible and rollable displays which use OLED's unique characteristics. OLEDs have been used in most Motorola and Samsung color cell phones, as well as some Sony Ericsson phones, notably the Z610i, and some models of the Sony Walkman[39]. It is also found in the Creative Zen V/V Plus series of MP3 players. Nokia has also introduced recently some OLED products, including the 7900 Prism and Nokia 8800 Arte.

since the iPhone 3G isnt technically the original "iPhone" which AT&T has a 5 year lock on, isnt it possible in some way that itll be on all networks?

Are you for real?

I think they could disable the camera as part of the remote control / wipe stuff for corporate use features.

I said this in an earlier post- I highly doubt ATT's lawyers missed a loophole that obvious in the att exclusivity contract they signed.

But sadly, I don't think that would suffice. It's like the flight mode on mobile phones - I've found that a lot of travel companies don't see that as enough, as it is possible to use the phone.

I presume that it is the same case with this. Even if the camera can be disabled, employees still have the capability to use it.

apple should also develop 3rd party add-on accessory, such as tazer pack, vibrator pack, and police radar detector.

Why don't you worry about keeping the speed limit instead?

Saves lives too

just wait and see it will be HSPDA...

why is GPS so valuable? if I get lost on my day-to-day travel between work and home, I probably shouldn't even operate a remote.

For the user? Not that useful to be honest. Even when traveling someplace new I usually know where I am well enough to use a few strategically placed drop pins on Google Map for plotting my route or getting my location up for general searches.

But advertisers doubtless salivate at the future potential of targeting you with adds that not only use your browsing habits, but also details of where you are and how you get there. Like Italian food? Once they figure that out you get a constant stream of adds for restaurants as you walk down the street. Eventually the signal to noise ratio gets so bad that you just turn off the phone.

Like Flash, there are some technologies that I don't miss having in my pocket.

lol, only if the lawyers for AT&T were complete and total dumba***s!

Atom Computing to run Iphone

I think that since Intel made a quiet release of their new Atom Chip :

Funny that it never made the huge marketing fanfare that intel is capable of.
