iPhone v2.0 incoming

It had to happen I guess, I’ve had my 16Gb iPhone less than 6 months and there’s every indication that some time next month the next version will be hitting shelves.

Rumors are coming from all directions, starting with O2 UK discounting the 8Gb unit by £100 and subsequently running out of stock to AT&T telling their staff they can’t take leave in a 4 week window from mid-june and execs from several firms giving “off the record” hints of a 3G device.

As June also brings the big 2.0 software update it makes sense that there would be some 2.0 hardware - I’m guessing the features between v1 and v2 will only really differ when it comes to UMTS/HSDPA so I’m not entirely fussed, but I have a few friends who are already working out if they can bear the cost of cutting their existing contracts short…

My commute is pretty easy so the data connectivity side of things isn’t of particular interest, EDGE is fine for reading the odd blog as I travel - in fact the only positive for me is that all the 2.5G haters will hopefully suck it up and buy one and hopefully increase the draw/demand to create decent stuff for the app store
