First iPhone was released June 29, 2007. 3G was released July 11, 2008, 3GS June 19, 2009. Rumors are saying this April.
I have a feeling, like always, it's going to be another over-hyped product, just like the iPad and all of the iPhones. There are a lot of smartphones (ie. Nexus One, HTC Desire,etc) that have a lot more features, are sleeker, less bulky, built better, and have way better specs. Apple tries to sell their crap hardware by releasing thousands of useless apps/games. Not to mention they sell all of their low-performance products for a premium. Only die-hard apple zombies will keep paying for this logo, unless Apple starts making innovated, quality products, that don't cost an arm and a leg.
For example, even at Cnet, a site were everyone is biased towards all apple products, they had a poll where over 56% of people said they would not buy an iPad and only 18% said they would. Yet Apple/analysis's releases predictions such as, "we're going to sell over 5 million of the iPads"....yeah right.
The first iPhone was good. But there were a lot of problems with it, and every new iPhone was almost the exact same as the other. You think that after releasing one version of the phone, that the 3rd version will at least look a little different from the first..

The only product i care from apple is the iphone, i love this phone above any else on the market, everything else with the apple logo can go to hell, and yes, they are over priced and over hyped

it was too tiresome to argue with him so i gave up. but the topic of the iphone..well im no buisnessman and if i were id probably wouldnt go for the iphone but since im a student im opting for the possibility of games on my phone and if that means i have to get in bed with apple with the apple then i can sacrifice some of my etiquette for that..so far no platform has the gaming and total apps capability the iphone app store has..im getting my hands dirty and i just hope i wont vomit
