3G iPhone release date predictions?

Come on, guys. Have your best shot at it! There’s been a flood of news lately surrounding the mysterious new iPhone with 3G, with even Uncle Walt chiming in. Our guess it that the second generation iPhone will be on sale in stores on June 30th. Why? They won’t launch the new iPhone without the 2.0 software, and 2.0 is slated for "late June". Also, we wouldn’t bet on seeing it before WWDC, and knowing Apple, they’re going to wait ’till the last minute to ship so they can work the kinks out. Where do you come in? Well, we might be wrong. If we are, we’re going to buy you a brand new second generation iPhone if you predict the right release date. If multiple people pick the exact release date then we’ll pick one of them at random.
Clarification: we are talking about the day you can physically wait in line at an Apple store and buy the second generation iPhone. Not the day ads appear on TV, not the day it’s announced, the day you can buy a brand spankin’ new second generation iPhone.
We’re going to run this until Wednesday at 11:59PM.
Ready. Set. Go!

Well I was going to say June 30th b/c that is my birthday and for the facts you gave. So I am assuming that I can’t use that date I’ll pick July 7th.

My bet is June 29th. I think it’ll be a while before you can actually GET one, because they’ll have a line around the block just like the first one, but I bet they have a few in the stores by the 29th.

Takin a big fat hairy guess at Tues. June 24th at 6:00p.m. Why? It fits patterns for Apple product release, it’s in the vicinity of WWDC, it’s “late” June, and it matches last year’s launch date closely. And let’s face it, 365 days with no hardware refresh is a long time for an Apple device of such popularity (iPod excluded).
