Apple consumers are dying to get their hands on the next iPhone. While being well understood that it will be released in 2008, it’s still unclear what will be included.

The next version is certain to include a 3G version. This revision will allow an entirely new audience to join the iPhone/Mac platform. A number of business customers and consumers demanding high-speed wireless internet capabilities have criticized AT&T’s network from the beginning.

The EDGE network continually is considered an underdog and slow alternative to the data speeds at Verizon. 3G could be the direct link between general consumer product and mass market business application. The release of a new iPhone will most likely be subdued to the latter part of the year, as the AT&T network will need to be revamped to allow 3G use, and the iPhone battery needs to be improved to take advantage of the power draining 3G chips.

All-in-all, the next revision in the iPhone rumors have included: greener (more environmentally friendly) design, OLED screen (organic), better battery life, simultaneous release of App Store, and 3G capabilities.

Dates for this year’s WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) have just been released. The conference, which consistently features new Apple products, will take place in San Francisco from June 9-13, 2008.

The update that came as an e-mail to developers today highlighted the iPhone and new Mac hardware such as the MacBook Air. The e-mail also has the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco splitting into two. What this may or may not mean will be plenty of nourishment for the rumor mill.
