Subsidized or not subsidized?  Which is it, and will everyone get one for $199/$299?  Sheesh!

The iPhone 3G… EVERYONE is talking about it. Everyone. I hear at least 2 or three conversations about it every day (since the 6/9 WWDC announcement) here at the hospital (new job), and these are the biggest bunch of NON-geeks ever assembled in once place at one time.  If even the techno-phobic are interested in this puppy, you know it’s going to make a HUGE splash in both the consumer and enterprise spaces.

However, all of these conversations have one common theme, and I get asked this question at least 2-3 times in some of these conversations and people come and go through them, “If I’m not eligible for an upgrade, can I buy one; and at what price?”

Holy Arsenio Hall Batman!  You know me… trying to beat the rush. Look what I saw when I tried going to the Apple Store just now…

Kinda makes you think there might be something new to buy today, huh..?!?

I wanted to get this out before the keynote, otherwise, its meaningless. I’ve been stalking, uh, I mean following, yeah…following… a number of people on Twitter that are “in the biz.”  Leo LaPorte, John Devorak, and Molly Wood of C-Net’s Buzz Out Loud Podcast, are but a few of the people that I follow on a daily basis. (Molly, BTW, is an absolute HOOT!  LOVE the podcast!)

Anyway, I’m at my computer last night, writing a few columns (check back in a few days for the first to post), and I got a TWEET from Molly Wood on the new 3G iPhone.  According to some of her sources, the 3G iPhone WILL have the following features:

• GPS
• 3G (obviously)
• 32GB of Storage
• A $300 price tag

 

According to her sources, it should hit general availability in 2 weeks.  I know that I will be sitting ont he giddy-up waiting for all of the news, as well as the ability to buy one of these guys as soon as they are available. I wonder how long I will actually have to wait; or if Apple is going to insure that there’s enough of these puppies available that anyone that wants one is going to be able to get one?

I wonder if I should get in line now..?
