thats really making me second guess buying a 3Gs.... I can upgrade every year, but my wife cannot and I don't want to lock her into something "ehhh...." when something great might be coming soon.

I wouldn't base too much of what you do right now off of a rumor of the future.

I agree with you Phxblue. With this kind of technology you could always be waiting for the next big development. I have already waited 2 years the iPhone. I know that people who bought the v. 1 and 3G iphones have already had years of enjoyment and experience of using this innovative technology, and its many applications.

Ok this is from left field, but if you follow Kevin Rose on twitter (Digg.com founder) he did a tweet this morning that there is a "rumor" Apple is working on an aluminum unibody iphone (think macbook pro) again he said it was a "rumor," but he has been correct with some of his apple predictions before...... then again, he may have just been drunk....

There were some concepts made of an iPhone like that. There was a discussion of that on the NextGeniPhone thread a couple months ago when rumors of the next iPhone were at fever's pitch.

That's smart. That's why I'm not buying the iPhone 3Gs...

I know next years iPhone will be better than the 3Gs, so I'm saving my money. The 3Gs is just too similar to the iPhone 3G for me to spend money on it. I had higher hopes for the new iPhone and was kind of let down when they announced the 3Gs.

Looking forward to next year's iPhone though. I'd really think about it before you go out and buy a 3Gs.

I couldn't agree with you more. All the people purchasing the iPhone 3G S are going to be jealous next summer when I'm walking around with my 64gb multi core iPhone and they can't upgrade yet...

If you abstain simply because of whatever is down the road, you'd NEVER buy anything. There's ALWAYS something newer and better coming "next year".

Still, there's some validity in saying that there doesn't seem to be a great enough "jump" in technology in each successive model to warrant upgrading each year. But TWO years in between... well then, that might make things much fresher. I'm on V1, and going from a V1 to a 32GB 3Gs will seem nice, I think.

That release (theoretically speaking) will probably resemble the v1 release – expensive. Then the following release (2011) would be a similar unit but less expensive… I’m on the skip every other release plan…2007 v1 8gb, 2009 3GS 16gb, 2011 4G 64gb… LOL
