Rejoice iPhans, for the iPhone 2.0 shall come today.

Here is a link to Gizmodo's liveblog coverage of the event.

Anyone have ideas of things that might be coming out alongside the iPhone?

Does anyone even care?

I may get an iPhone now that the 16GB model is going to be selling for $299 and it has 3G support.

I'm stoked to hear they reduced the price of an iphone yet again. Right after I bought mine. But it looks like they will address some of the things that are my biggest complaint about it. Not being able to copy and paste and control the files on it.

I am going to wait for Sprint to carry it. I know, hell will freeze over first.

If you bought the old one after May 27th you will be able to trade it for the new 3G model when it comes out in July.

Oh crap. It's close. Oh man. Is there a way to find out when you activated it?

I'm pretty sure it was before. Sigh.

I have one, I am not sure I will upgrade as although the features are nifty, there is nothing there that will really "improve" my experience with the iPhone. The headphone jack is about the best improvement, but I have that covered as I bought Etymotic Hf-2's for mine (if you haven't thought about these, start thinking, there is no better headphone for your iPhone). That said, if the cost of upgrading is minimal (mines an 8gb), the extra 8gb might be worth it as I am always running out of room!

I love Apple, but there is no way I'm switching to AT&T for it... too many family members and friends have had awful service with AT&T and my Verizon service has been stellar. When they get VZW support, I'll be making the switch to an iPhone, but until then, I'm GASing for a Blackberry.

As long as Arcade Reality is only on Treo, I keep my GAS for Palm in terms of phones.

Not gonna happen. The iPhone is a GSM phone, and hence totally incompatible with CDMA networks like Verizon and Sprint. How's the T-Mobile reception in your area? It's fairly trivial to unlock an iPhone to work on T-Mobile, since T-Mobile uses a GSM network...

No iPhone for me, but I have a 32GB iPod Touch which is almost the same thing, and it's amazing.

Interesting. I have/love t-mobile... my sidekick is serving me fine for everything I need though...

But I do think it's hilarious that the email I got from apple phrased it as:

"Twice as fast. Half the price."

Should make the people that went and camped out for day one feel accomplished :P. Gotta love how fast technology advances.

Maki, I hope you can trade yours .

Well, it looks like I'll be waiting a few years for the AT&T exclusivity to end, but then it looks like there's a chance at Verizon supporting the iPhone and whatnot.

Possible, but they'd have to re-engineer the iPhone to work on a totally different type of network that isn't widely used in the rest of the world. I suppose it never stopped Motorola, Blackberry, LG etc though, who've all made CDMA versions of their major models.

Interesting. It's the exact opposite in my area. AT&T's service kills Verizon. I've used AT&T/Cingular, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint/Nextel. Verizon was BY FAR the worst. Right now I carry my AT&T Treo and Nextel Blackberry. If Blackberry would add the Push-to-Talk feature to the Curve, I'd definitely love to upgrade the work phone. As for the personal phone w/ AT&T: I'm seriously thinking about switching to the iPhone. I'll probably go for the trial period with both the new iPhone and new Treo before deciding.
