iPhone 3.0 or iPhone 3.0

In 2007 (last year), Apple released the iPhone 2.0 software and iPhone 3G almost on the same day. It was a disaster. Activation servers meltdown, MobileMe upgrade failed, or iPhone firmware download failed. Apple spent almost half year to fix all the MobileMe mess and there is still no push notification service available until iPhone 3.0
Next Monday (06/08/2009) will be Apple’s World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC). Hightly possible Apple will announce the next generation of iPhone software and hardware. Will Apple repeat the same mistake again?
Apple just released iTunes 8.2 ahead of the iPhone software to avoid the same problem as last year. Since the iPhone hardware needs to take time to arrive to this side of the world from mainland China. Apple may releases the iPhone 3.0 firmware for all the existing devices to upgrade. Or, in order to generate more revenue from hardware upgrade, Apple may hold on the software upgrade but release the new iPhone hardware starting in July.
