I really like the phone after seeing what it can do in person, but I would hate to buy it now and have one come out with A2DP for wireless headphones a week later. Thats about the only thing holding me back from buying one. Aside from the price tag and no insurance issue.

So when do you guys project apple to drop another iPhone on us?

3rd or 4th quarter 2008. There's no credible rumor of them releasing anything in the next couple of months.

Won't 3rd party A2DP support probably come when they open up the SDK in Feb? I have a Palm Centro that doesn't support it out of the box, but a 3p addon is like $10 to do it.

A new iPhone's going to come out every year, with 70-85% of the features requested from the previous generation, like all Apple hardware. ;)


I thought this was common knowledge by now.

My 2yrs up in Feb. I guess I need to wait a bit longer for the new iPhone. What phones are comparable besides the Voyager?

[A2DP thread hijiack]

Motorola has A2DP available on the V3xx (Maxx from Verizon), Q9h, and RAZR2 V9... :p
Apple needs to spool up their development hamsters.

I would say this is pretty close to accurate, they haven't announced anything yet, even internally, but generally things like this don't get announced until just before the release. I'm betting it'll be an early summer release myself, and it'll be multiple models...a 16GB version of the one they have out now, and one that supports more Blackberry type functions as a PDA/Business model, and one with 3G.

no way it isn't being announced Monday (June 9th) and will probably hit the stores no later than mid July

I don't personally care, but I'm surprised no one mentioned that this is the wrong forum.

Most of the sites are saying the 9th... Monday. There is a new service starting that monitors all shipments that arrive by sea because of the required documentation that each requires, and they noted that Apple has been getting an unusually large amount of shipments in. They have some kind of event on the 9th as well, and so the guess is obviously for the 9th. Some sites think it will be released the same day, no definite answers on that though.

For as large of a project as the iphone must be for Apple, I'm surprised they can keep it under wraps for so long.
