Sorry if I’m a bit iPhone obsessed lately. But what the heck. Since my buddy Joe seemed to know all about the iPhone 3G release, I figured I’d share what I learned from him and from a bit of web research.

Looks like the new iPhone is slated for release in June and will include a new firmware upgrade 2.0 as well as some new capabilities from the Infineon SGOLD3H 3G chipset including 3G support, the possibility of a 5 megapixel camera, video recording and playback, FM radio and a capuccino maker. Ok, I’m kidding about the capuccino maker. And just because the chipset has certain features, that doesn’t mean they will be enabled by Apple.

The Times Online has reported that Apple has ordered 200,000 new iPhones for end of May and will ramp production up to 500,000 per week in June.

The Times Online speculates that there may be a new formfactor iPhone announced in June, possibly a flip version with a larger screen or a slide-out keyboard. Whoo-hoo! If you’re thinking of getting an iPhone you may want to consider waiting a bit longer. On the other hand, the current stock of iPhones will likely get a price cut to clear inventory.
