Anyone feel like predicting what Apple announcement will be coming today?
New iPhone seems like a shoe in.

I'm fairly certain it will be the mildly improved successor (faster and more memory, but less battery life to go with it) to the 3G and hopefully the announcement that they have all the bugs out of the OS-3.0 software so that the common man can now get it.

They're quoting up to 7 hours battery time (2 hours increase) and a longer battery life as well (up to 1,000 charges before performance decreases).

Read the feed for the link I posted, full details in there.

I'm not seeing that on the updates. They just started on the iPhone according to this. Maybe it's not updating on mine.

My screen has them talking up the new features in 3.0 right now. What's yours saying?

LOL

Tehtering "requires carrier support -- 22 supported carriers when launched -- AT&T was not included".

What a joke.

Tethering = seamless; AT&T shafting the user = seamless...there's something they have in common. :-P

In other news...the IPhone 3G.2 will support flash!

(10 million people simultaneously check apple.com for ordering information crashing the website)

No, just kidding. :D

"Find My Iphone" is a neat MobileMe service. Too bad I'll never pay for MobileMe (please don't quote that in the future in case I backtrack on that one). ;)

"If your phone really is lost or stolen, you can send it a remote wipe command that will delete all of your data (mail, contacts, etc). If you do find the phone, it will be restored from a backup."

I could use that feature!
