No 3G iPhone at WWDC

Based on their two post, they are either really committed to the fake post cause, or they didn't read. Plus they spoke in the future rather than present tense, so it seems unlikely that they actually knew what was going on.

But if it was real, then that was awesome!

Exactly that!
 
While I would be disappointed after all the hype, (I'm actually impressed that they are even TALKING about the new phone only a year after the first), I wouldn't be in as bad a shape as the ones that just sold their 1st gen iPhones. They will be raising #&!!.

I'll be keeping my 1st gen as a backup, and it'll be better than lugging around my old Razr, which is as out of date, as the Ol' Moto bagphone (at least to me). Im not even remotely tired of my current iPhone yet. So even a backup iPhone in case something happens to a new one, will be nice to have.

I hope they have set the standard for major updates to the iPhone every year from now on!
 
At least with this, there will be no hacking necessary for VoIP over the 3G and EDGE networks.

The menubar thing is cool, but as mentioned, its not as beautiful as the iPhone. I also believe that better apps will come out for the iPhone, because of the single hardware design. All developers know what the handset has, and don't have to make an app that will work on some phones and not others running the OS.
 
Well, other than being a little disappointed due to the expectations created by the hype and rumors, I would actually be genuinely worried for Apple and their dwindling smartphone market share.

Think about this: they seem to have consciously made an effort to deplete the current iPhone's stock, by making it unavailable on the online Apple store and failing to replenish their retail stores.

If someone wants to buy an iPhone today (and I know of at least 3 people who do), one must buy it from AT&T and sign up for a 2-year contract, or find it unlocked elsewhere online (e.g. eBay) at a premium.

So really, Apple would do a great disservice to itself if Jobsie didn't at least announce the next-gen iPhone next week, even if it doesn't ship for another few weeks.
