Rumour: 3G iPhone Launching In June On Optus

The guys from Current.com.au obviously got more out of CeBIT than I did - apparently somebody on the Optus stand told them that the 3G iPhone would be launching in June.

Not only that, but apparently it will cost around about the $700 mark.

Considering that officially, both Optus and Vodafone have been keeping very quiet on the whole iPhone front (probably from fear of evil Steve Jobs), this should be classed as rumour, but it does correlate with what our US brethren said yesterday about a worldwide June launch.

Who else can't wait for WWDC just so we can know all the facts?

The good news is that we're looking at a 3G iPhone launched in the last week of June across multiple carriers and with no contract. Current resellers will also be able to sell the device, completely breaking with how the deal has been done in every other part of the world.

Bill Gates Says Next Windows Coming Next Year or So

That's way ahead of the previous estimates, which claimed Windows 7 was not going to be released in 2009 at all, but somewhere in 2010 or 2011.
