3G iPhone

According to MacRumors, 3G iPhone can be expected to hit the stands by June 2008. Today, iPhone can offer 2.5G speeds which actually means that your emails, webpages etc. downloads at a slow speed.
When Steve Jobs 1st presented the iPhone in January 2007, he specifically said that Apple plans on making "3G phones and all sorts of amazing things in the future". Why didn't he make the phone 3 G in the first place was because excessive power consumption from 3G chipsets meant lower battery life and a bulky size if a bigger capacity battery was to be incorporated. The newly announced 3G chipsets promise to address these power issues. Goldman Sachs Analysts predicted that the iPhone would see two updates in 2008. The first minor update was predicted to be a Flash memory upgrade in the 1st half of the year; resulting in the release of the 16GB iPhone in Feb. the predicted a "major" upgrade in the second half of the year; resulting in the 3G announcement.

From what I've heard, the pre-launch hype that surrounded this device wasn't exagerrated.
