Rumor: 3G iPhone in January, 2008?
High speed wireless internet access for the iPhone in January, 2008? Apple Insider is reporting the rumor.
If this is true, how will it affect initial sales? For instance, if you have to sign up for a 2 year agreement, switch carriers, pay $500-$600, buy new peripherals, then have the shiny new iPhone be updated in six months??? I'd be upset unless there was clearly a free or cheap upgrade. It's probably not a very good idea to get early adopters upset by doing such a quick update. Why wouldn't they just wait to announce the phone that most people want anyway?
