I've not been following the iPhone side of things too closely (I'm preoccupied with the Mac mini situation... ), but is there a good chance of some updates to the iPhone before this summer? I saw one little rumor a few months ago (December?), but didn't really think much of it.

Nothing's happened since (I assumed Macworld was where it might take place). If they keep waiting too long, they're going to get into that May-July space of a true, all-new third-generation iPhone. I can't imagine them doing that, that close of a release/overlap for something most people want to buy once and then not think about for another 18-24 months...

If they plan to give the current iPhone 3G any sort of bump, I'm thinking they'd better do it before the end of March, otherwise it'll only have 2-3 months in existence before a completely new model is out. I was hoping they'd do these mid-cycle updates on a predictable, six-month schedule (new iPhones out in June-July, capacity bumps in December-January).

But they don't consult with me on this stuff, so...
