I was looking at this from my Hiptop and I know it doesn’t handle .pngs well and I saw this grainy stuff on the top and bottom: http://preview.tinyurl.com/4gmqbh http://preview.tinyurl.com/3h6gh5 Photoshop?

They knock $100 off the old models to get them out the door. At Xmas they ditch the 8gb and relist the 16gb for $399 and a new 32gb for $499. I don't think you will see them tip the $499 price point again. At WWDC they launch the 3G iPhone, 8gb for $399 & 16gb for $499. They knock $100 off the old models to get them out the door.

Pricing sounds right, though internally $549 was the number for 32GB. I agree with 599. Also the 3G iPhone battery will be 200mAh greater capacity.

Mine is sitting on the desk at home waiting for its listing on Ebay! I actually missed buttons! I might look at another iPhone when it has a talk/end buttons and what Id really like is a slide out keyboard! I could care less for thinner. It needs good battery life for 3G and get rid of the virtual keypap, it sucks! I think Im over the iPhone too. Mine is sitting on the desk at home waiting for its listing on Ebay!

They probably have it set to be released the day after WWDC starts/ends or something like that. @Dizzle-

Battery life will suck unless they have VERY efficient electronics. I also don't think that a thinner iPhone is very ergonomic IMHO, I have a hard time sometimes with the current one feeling too thin. I do think that they will definitely keep the prices the same as the current gen. If Apple didn't have an exclusive agreement with AT&T I would think that they would keep the current one on the line up and sell it cheaper. I think that with the current agreement in the US, they will keep the 2.5G iPhone on the lineup and will knock off at least $100 on each ($299 for the 8GB 2.5G and $399 for the 16GB 2.5G). Maybe even AT&T will start offering the 2.5G for free on a contract. Who knows. When the new one comes out I will not have any use for it's 3G since I won't be moving to AT&T and T-Mo won't do 1900 MHz 3G. Oh well. I also assume the 3G iPhone will have a different protection system that will eventually be broken but might take a little while. Thinner than the current one and 3G?
