You are forgiven, then next person is getting it though lol
I think they will release it as well, it will just have firmware 1.1.5 on it or something like that to support the few new things its gonna bring. That way they can iron out any software bugs that they find within the first while its out so that corrections can be made to 2.0. Then they will release 2.0 and people with the new iPhone will be wowed with the new applications that come on when they update.

Try turning around and relax ... then the carrot will be "behind" you.

I couldn't agree more with your analysis. Since it's already been stated they will have the same O/S is the only thing keeping my hopes up for a pre-27 June and pre-WWDC release. I get the feeling it would be a huge letdown to announce/release the phone at the WWDC because everyone already knows it 's coming and there would be a collective, "yeah, so what? We knew this was coming," rather than introducing something totally new and innovative. Thoughts?
See where you are coming from with the WWDC announcement theory that a surprise announcement earlier would have a bit more of a shock factor, the thing is they just arent going to do that. At WWDC the stage is set for it so makes sense to do it there. I can see your idea and its a good one, but its just something that wont happen.
Imagine SJ announced that the new iPhone doesnt have 3G lol!!! Riot
No need to worry my friend. It is for definite there is not going to be firmware 2.0 before iPhone 3G.
I think the most interesting thing is when this all finally gets released and settles down to get some analysis of what went wrong with the gap and if in fact this has ben engineered rather than a response to poor supply and higher demand with the price drop
I am still holding out for a may release with 1.1.5 and then june and the wwdc will be reserved for the software and the possible new tablet

I agree Santa Rosa that it won't happen but I still think it will be a letdown because everyone and they mother knows it's coming but I think you are right about WWDC being the correct stage for it. Thanks for smacking me back into reality
Handset pricing and plans will dictate the iphone's success overseas.
Hopefully, Jobs and Co. recognized the error in their ways and have adjusted accordingly, toherwise we may see the same lackluster release overseas.
After all, everyone who really wanted an iphone in the EMEA and Asia region has acquired an unlocked one for a hefty price. Convincing them to splurge just for 3G and GPS will be an uphill battle.

3G iPhone release on Memorial Day Weekend.
Apple stopped selling iPhones on May 9...return policy is 14 days...14 days after May 9 = May 23 = Memorial Day Weekend.
SJ says, "cha-ching!"
Press & Analysts says, "Yay! new iPhone before expected!"
Stock goes up.
SJ says, "cha-ching!" again.
DISCLAIMER: I own AAPL stock

Great, just what I needed, a re-kindled hope that a 3g iphone will be in my hands before WWDC!
If you dont think that the iPhone will be released at WWDC why do you think that they will release a tablet??
I understand why people say that the iPhone wont be released then, as yes it is a software development conference, not a macworld which is for consumer product releases, but the fact is that it lies just at the right time for an announcement so why have two events.
Using that logic that WWDC isnt for announcing products, then why would they announce a tablet. It just doesnt make any sense that they wouldnt announce the iPhone which is their upcoming development platform and would announce a product that has nothing to do with development.
I agree Santa Rosa that it won't happen but I still think it will be a letdown because everyone and they mother knows it's coming but I think you are right about WWDC being the correct stage for it. Thanks for smacking me back into reality
No problem, reality sucks but thats that. Dont get me wrong, I like your idea of the surprise announcement but as we have been discussing, just aint gonna happen
sold
just sold my first gen 8gig iphone unlocked on craigslist for $300, and I bought it of cragislist new for 5 monthes ago $275. Waiting for the iphone2!!!!
Since the stock if basically gone, people who don't know the new iphone is coming are really trying to get their hands on one, and it was quite easy to sell

You think people will like getting done over by a single day. I very much doubt they will pull a stunt like that.
No Pwned, no lol!! Control yourself
Into the trashcan of rubbish ideas??
new iphone stock..
I was thinking.. If the 3g iphone were to come out and be available for purchase at wwdc, apple would have to be producing them now.. and filling up warehouses in china like its going out of style.
what i am wondering, If 2.0 software isn't available until wwdc then all the iphones either must have a quick fix driver version, or the phone won't go on sale till much later then wwdc. can't just beam the firmware remotely from the warehouse roof....

That would really sting for people to be screwed over by a day, but is two weeks later much better? I think they could announce the development of a tablet/mac mini at the conference vice announcing the already known release of the 2nd gen iphone. I do see your side of the coin about it being released but the focus being on the software development of the Iphone. Man, I am getting dizzy thinking about this cyclical logic and being able to see a couple of viable release points in the next month.

No matter what happens, one thing is for certain, your gonna have to brace your credit card lol!!
SJ has my bank details, I'm sure of it...
One word could mean so much or so little. Vote for the vaguest post award lol.
With my luck when it does come out and I get up to the counter to order one the person in front of me will have purchased the last one, damn you karma!
This has been discussed & debunked to death in threads here and other sites. In a nutshell, FCC certification testing can be done privately by third party companies who can hold off on actually filing with the FCC until the last moment. The FCC also publicly states that they will hold documentation until a product is actually released in order to prevent premature disclosure of unreleased products.

By your logic he will never get an iPhone lol.
I think that the supplies of them will be good though. With such a massive worldwide release you would think that they would overcompensate and there would be a good few of them to be had. Also with getting the manufacturing techniques tuned up a bit from iPhone 1 you would think that would help in getting up a good stock of them.
