I like today ‘s big iPhone rumor quite a lot. It seems that there is evidence in the new iPhone OS 3.0 firmware indicating that more than one new iPhone model and some new iPod Touch models may be on the way.
We’d already heard that evidence of a new iPhone model was found buried in newer firmwares, but how about two new iPhone models — along with a couple new iPod touches thrown in for good measure? It seems that a careful deconstruction of the beta 3.0 build provided to developers this week has uncovered the same product code "iPhone2,1" found before in addition to an even newer, awesomer "iPhone3,0." For the record, the iPhone 3G is identified as "iPhone1,2," so these alleged new models would be the first in the iPhone line to be blessed with major version number increments. Turning our attention to the iPod touch, the current model carries the "iPod2,1" designation, but models "iPod2,2" and "iPod3,1" have both been rooted out of the binary.
It could turn out to be a really exciting summer “ with the Palm Pre launching to provide “ maybe “ a first real iPhone rival on the ideas and UI front, the iPhone OS 3.0 launch, and hopefully at least some of these rumored new models
