Maybe I am not looking in the right place but is there for sure going to be a new phone this year with 3G?? I am not able to find anything besides speculation. Nothing coming out of Steves mouth saying yes there is going to be 3G iphones soon!! I have now seen it is not coming this month because Apple spoke and said there is a problem with manufacturing not a new phone and that is why the stock is depleting. And also does anyone now what a android can do that the Iphone can not? Why all the hype??

As far as the 3G iphone, everything is speculation still at this point. I heard apple contracted with a Taiwanese manufacturer to build the new phone and that the existing phone would cease to be built soon. Speculation is June for the new phone but there have been many changes done with it, mostly to make it more attractive to the corporate user, so who knows if it is on schedule or not.
As for Android, what is important there is that it is essentially open source, independent software developers can create all types of applications to run on the platform, which of course will lead to innovation and broaden the uses for Android. As you will recall, Apple just recently released their SDK (software developers kit) for the iphone however they have put a lot of stipulations on the programs being developed. Another criteria from Apple was that they would not allow the phone to multi-task. It will not run more than one program at a time, one can only assume they are concerned about OS/program conflicts causing crashes or maybe multiple programs running slowing the phones processor too much. This is somewhat of a bummer since any decent smartphone should be able to multi-task. Symbian and WM handle this with out issue. Still, it should be exciting whenever its released.

so is there a estimate of when we will see the android phone, I have seen some pics of a grey phone that says google across the back and it looked as if it had a huge screen like the iphone and I would imagine it is full touch interface. Any time frame and who is going to carry a phone like this? ATT going to allow this on there 3G and also I heard about verizon 4G and att did not even bid on it.

I have not heard of a release date for Android but there are a few manufacturers that committed to building a Android-based phone. AT&T said they are not opposed to a Android phone on their network so I guess it will happen. I'm not sure I'd want to be a early adopter of that platform though, think I'd rather wait a bit and see some reviews and feedback. There are a lot of expectations on a modern smartphone, one pretty much has to hit a home run on the first swing. I hope it works out for Google, you know that they are trying to achieve the same internet success they enjoy on the PC on the mobile screen.

seems like all rumors pointing to this WWDC for 3G iphone\'s
