iPhone 2.0 is already here!

Breaking news, people! The most awaited device of this year, the new 3G iPhone (a.k.a. the iPhone 2.0) is already at US soil as I speak.

Aside from what we've already knew, that there are mysterious cargo containers shipped to US under the name of Apple Inc. And now Brian Caulfield, a senior journalist from Forbes was reporting again what has caused the rumor of 3G iPhone arrival to build-up as he details on each of flash-back news from the start.

Here are some interesting lines from his article above:

One clue: Jobs began racking up serious mileage on his corporate jet during the company's final quarter of 2007, as he likely finalized deals with distribution partners in Europe and Asia, and perhaps scrutinized the first 3G iPhone handsets to come from his partners' factories. Morgan Stanley's (nyse: MS - news - people ) Kathryn Huberty was the first to spot the enormous jump in Jobs' airplane expenses--to $550,000 from $203,000 during the previous quarter.

But it wasn't until earlier this month, when a potential customer, impressed with what Ryan Peterson (co-founder at start-up ImportGenius.com) could dig up about ethanol imports, asked Peterson about the iPhone. "This is really detailed stuff," the potential customer asked Peterson. "What can you tell me about the iPhone?"

That, of course, could be just the start of what Jobs announces June 9. Veteran Apple watchers are noting a redesign of Apple's hot-selling notebook computers is long overdue. Some are even wondering if Apple will introduce a touch-sensitive table tablet that riffs off the iPod Touch's touch-sensitive interface. Quite a mystery.

Doesn't it bother you to know, that maybe right now a lucky Apple store employee is holding a box of iPhone 2.0 at the storage room where Apple stash it secretly. Holding it, caressing it, licking it and perhaps even open it up! Heck, maybe those lucky employees are currently swimming in the iPhone 2.0 boxes stack. ;-D ~LOL~

Alright, as usual. I'll treat you with a sneak preview of iPhone 2.0 image whenever I'm talking about iPhone 2.0 rumors and news, so here's a rendered 3D image of what could possibly be the look of it. Which almost in rhymes with what Caulfield wrote in his article:

Meanwhile, analysts have a good idea who is making the parts inside the phone. Apple's new model is likely built around new, burlier communications chips from Infineon, says Will Strauss, a veteran communications chip watcher at Forward Concepts. Global positioning systems will be another new capability, Strauss says.
