@Rene Not to be rude or anything, but isn't the whole point with the iPhone platform that every single unit is exactly the same hardware- and software-wise? Sure, some bugs might appear but anyways.. It would be so super-awesome if Steve says: "Oh, and one more thing. This new iPhone, is available... now." It'll be mass-panic!

Can Apple really drop iPhone 3.0 release on Monday, when a large portion of their highest profile developers are going to be spending a week away from their offices.

If you were a dev, would you suddenly want 30+ million potential customers to be running your app on final release firmware you'd never hammered your code against?

And would you want to run screaming from WWDC to try and fix bugs on the road, on hotel wi-fi?

Apple may not care, but it would likely seriously p!$$ off their developers, no?

I think we're all missing something. When Phil, Scott and company did the 3.0 roadmap they showed some cool things that we will be able to do with Bluetooth. Clearly, Apple was working with some software and hardware companies to demo how it all works. But I don't see them doing the WWDC Keynote without a partner or two to support the new features with products that we will be able to buy almost immediately. My sense is that could be yet another reason why it appears like an earlier release for 3.0 firmware. Don't ask me to speculate on what I think it is but something beyond iPhone hardware and software is going to make this release 'Light-years Ahead'.
