There are two things we know about the 3G iPhone. It's coming sometime this year, and Apple will tell us nothing until it is damned well ready. The latter is summed up in a speculative article from Reuters:
According to the article, Bank of America is now in on the iPhone rumor game, and predicts that the 3G handset will be here in the second quarter of 2008. BoA's "channel checks" tell analyst Scott Craig that Apple will manufacture a whopping three million 3G iPhones in May alone, followed by another eight million in the third quarter.
It seems a lot, and if true, makes Apple's official plan to shift ten million units by the end of this year look very conservative. But then, Steve Jobs always likes to undersell and over-deliver. And if the iPhone ever ends up like the iPod, then everyone in the world will end up with a drawer-full of the things.
