The iPhone 3G is set to be announced during the 2008 WWDC (Apple Worldwide Developers Conference) which will begin on Monday (June 9th) with a keynote speech by Steve Jobs. Apple has not been selling the iPhone at their online store for almost a month which usually means a new product will replace the existing product. Rumors are also spreading that other touch products could be announced which is less likely but you never know…
Here is a link dump of interesting news and rumors about the iPhone 3G and other Touch related products that are could be announced by Apple on Monday. Some of the stories have discrepancies so take everything as a grain of salt until details from Apple are announced.

I just got done reading a up to date blog on the Keynote address and was fairly disappointed… Still no bluetooh capabilities, no radio, and for me the most important is a Flash Plug-in!
With that said, has anyone heard of a Flash Plug-In being developed besides the long ago spat between apple and flash calling each other out on the development of a light flash plugin for the iphone/touch? I really want to listen to my xmradio on my iphone/touch but of course flash is not supported!!!!! Errr, what a painful keynote, i need a drink!
