Rumor: 3G iPhone to be delayed?

Well, this one is just about as speculatory as it gets: Infineon, who might be supplying the chips for the 3G iPhone, announced this morning that they are seeing less demand for HSDPA chips than they expected from an unnamed project. Analysts are guessing this means the next iPhone has either been delayed, or will launch with lower volumes.
Nothing to worry about, iPhone fans. If Steve planned to announce the 3G iPhone at WWDC, Steve will be announcing the 3G iPhone at WWDC. The launch date probably wouldn’t change either — if the initial shipments are lower than the demand, it’ll just lead to even more demand generated by all of the “OMG!!! 3G iPhone shortage!! Go fight a guy for yours!” stories that will go up.

All this speculation regarding a new iPhone is fun “mind” games, but seriously, Steve will be the one who has the tricks up his sleeve on June 9th. None of this means anything until the “skinny man” says so! (Take off on the “fat lady” singing.)
I’ve been caught up in the speculations and the wishing-and-hoping game, but I’ve finally stopped wasting my energy and have decided that I will “hope for the best” and know that APPLE will provide, as it has in the past!
I love the classic look of iPhone 1 and truly hope they don’t make the mistake of creating a cheap product as some pictures are portraying it to be! I like the weight of the original iPhone and being lighter doesn’t mean its any better; as a matter of fact, it could be harder for people to handle. And, a plastic case would be a problem if dropped, but we’ll have to wait and see. Ah yes, the marketing genius of APPLE!
