Alicia and Joe – I agree that Daring Fireball is usually pretty spot-on – which is good because it should mean significant leap on processor, hopefully doubled up RAM, video recording etc. – I think 3.0 gets released this week though maybe not today (and hopefuly with ugly memory issues squashed) and I still feel a little bit of hope that new model might be available this week as well, or within less than a month.

Not long to wait now 🙂

OK, I will go on record with my prediction:

3.0 released, new iPhone announced but NOT released (until July).

I think daringfireball's predictions are pretty on the money: http://daringfireball.net/2009/06/wwdc_2009_predi…

I generally try to stay away from speculation and prediction before a release. Thing is, Apple's observers have gotten so good at predicting what's coming that there's no element of surprise and thus no real elation anymore.

That said, I think video is coming as well as cheaper prices and faster speeds. I don't think it'll be called iPhone video. We've had that already with the iPod video.

Bobby – that list of what you're betting will come is enough to entice me 🙂 Hope we're all right on that stuff. Oh, and you know you can sign for Intense Debate (in like 2 mins) and then have all comments pass without moderation once a first one is approved with that ID …

The more I think about it, I really don't think there will be video chatting.. Gizmodo already shot down one picture that claimed that.. Video is def coming, although i wish they would make it available in a software update.. Jailbroken apps allow video so why can't Apple? I'm jealous that the new phone will have video bc I'm refusing to buy it.. Faster processor, more ram, and video.. That's all I'm betting will come. I'm very surprised that a day away there's ZERO solid news tho, just strong suggestions.. I can't wait till the software is available, I'm MMSing all day tomorrow lol
