We know that there will be a 3G version of the iPhone eventually, the question is when the second generation model will arrive.

Although a 2008 launch is seen as almost certain by many, when in the year the beefed up device will make its debut is a matter for speculation with May, and the iPhone's anniversary in June, both suggested in the past.

Gartner analyst Ken Dulaney, who is the firm's iPhone expert, says according to rumuors he's "become aware of in Asia" Apple has already placed orders for 10 million 3G iPhones, suggesting the launch will be sooner rather than later.

In a phone interview with iPod Observer, Dulaney speculated that the 3G version would boast an OLED screen. Not a strong rumour for the next-gen model, but logical in the sense that it would save some of the energy that the power hungry 3G chip would drain.

OLED...that would surely push up the price of the iPhone. I think OLED panels still need to drop in price before we can see them being implemented in cellphones.

there are already quite a few phones that use oled, but none with screens the size of iPhone

3G?
High-end phones should now have HSDPA... AND a camera with more than 2 MP...
