when does the palm Pre launch? is it apr/may? maybe this is to keep some people excited for new 3.0 coming in june that would otherwise think about jumping to the pre? i dunno, just guessing..

Definately. This event is simply saying, what the Pre can, we can (should) do better.

maybe having apps running in the background? would the current iphones be able to handle alot of background apps without slowing down badly?

Could be, I mean Sony has done it before with the PSP. The Slim came with extra memory, resulting in some software only working on the new model. Anyway, I'm excited to see what they come up with. If it's good enough I'll gladly pay to update my iPod. Again.

I was about to order a new iPhone this weekend. Maybe I should hold off if they announce new hardware?

wait this week. see what they announce at the event and judge if they'll need new hardware by the release date or not. if they don't appear to have new hardware, then get your iPhone :D

can't wait to see what's new on the 3.0 firmware!

I think we all knew this was coming. Apple seems to have made it a habit of previewing the iPhone OSX in March and then releasing it around WWDC time along with an actual iPhone hardware upgrade. They are really milking the idea that people are willing to upgrade to a newer iPhone every year and re-sign new contracts.

I'm hoping that they take a real Snow Leopard approach to it, you know, reduce drive and memory consumption. If that were the ONLY feature, I'd pay for it.

After a few days my iPhone slows right down, a quick reboot fixes it, but it's still annoying.

+1 on this. Prolly the newer iPhone will come with dual cameras so that video conferencing is possible over 3G, more memory and a better processor. I just bought the 3G two months back, i don't think i can afford a new iphone especially since it costs 700$ in my country

Does anyone even video conference on their phone anymore? I doubt we'll see a front facing camera.

Fortunately Nokia, Motorolla, SE, HTC ect all only release a single phone every few years...

If anything Apple is rather unique in that they do so few updates. No one is forced to update either.
