Gartner analyst Ken Dulaney claims to have heard "from sources in Asia" that Apple has placed a 10 million unit order for 3G iPhones, according to an interview by the iPod Observer. This order for 10 million 3G iPhones would reportedly be above and beyond the original 10 million Apple had planned to sell of the initial version of the iPhone in 2008.
The analyst goes on to speculate that the 3G version could incorporate an OLED display which could improve battery life. Apple's use of OLED technology has long been rumored but has yet to come true.
This timeframe could be consistent with recent Page 2 rumors that the 3G iPhone would be coming "in a few months." Multiple reports have claimed that the 3G iPhone would be released in 2008. '3G' is the next generation mobile data technology that allows for much faster internet access on mobile phones. The iPhone currently uses EDGE (2.5G) technology. |

Australia’s dominant telco, Telstra, has had its Yellow Pages and mapping division, Sensis, place an online job application looking for a business analyst to help it develop a “cutting-edge search application for the iPhone”. Has Telstra been sprung, and if so, will Apple be happy about it?
Uh-oh. Everybody knows how much Apple hates surprises, unless it’s Apple delivering them.
Think Secret, a blog site that leaked news of Apple’s upcoming products a couple of years back is now Dead Secret, having closed down thanks to Apple’s litigious ways.
So, if Telstra, or one of its divisions, has just effectively confirmed that Telstra will be the Australian telco to offer the iPhone, chances are that Apple will be a bit miffed about it, although if contracts are signed and sealed, there might not be much that Apple can do about it.

Optus has an Asian telecommunications partner which has hinted that a 3G iPhone may come out to Australia and the Asian region sometime in June 2008 - and yes, perhaps with Optus. The delays at the moment are due to talks with Apple regarding the contract (with either Telstra or Optus) and the 3G features which require much more power consumption than the current iPhone. All of this, but no-one is certain when and where we can see the first official iPhone in Australia. |

This one's still just a bunch of whispers and coincidences, but we've been hearing that Apple may lower prices on the iPhone and iPod touch in the next few months and drop the 8GB touch. Word is that falling flash prices coupled with the desire to introduce the 3G iPhone at an attractive price point will lead to the 16GB iPhone falling to $399, along with similar touch price drops: 16GB for $299 and 32GB for $399. It's not clear what'll happen to the 8GB iPhone, but everyone seems to agree that the 8GB touch is on the way out -- we actually think a $199 8GB touch would fly off shelves, but that's probably cutting margins razor-thin. We'll see when we see -- and if flash prices are really falling that fast, it'll be interesting to see what happens to iPod nano pricing as well.

We’ve been waiting for Flash support to hit the iPhone ever since...well...it launched. We’ve had to make do without Flash for almost eight months, and YouTube even had to convert a bunch of their catalog to H.264 in order for the service to be enjoyed on the iPhone. Well, we’ve just got word from a reliable source that Flash support is on its way to the iPhone, and it should be coming very, very soon. Speculating a bit further on our own, we are guessing that it would be pretty convenient for Flash support to be introduced alongside the iPhone SDK, wouldn’t you say? Now, we know that there isn’t much information here, but you also know how strong our sources are too - Flash on the iPhone is coming, just take our word for it, okay?
EDIT: We already have had a couple people ask about the supposed battery and CPU issues that were holding Flash back from being included on the iPhone in the first place. From what I am hearing, it was a complete fabrication. Flash has not yet made it to the iPhone solely due to business negotiations. As we said, it is now on its way!
