No surprises here… Steve Jobs announced today, at the WWDC 2008 event, that the 3G iPhone will be out on July 11th.  From a “size and weight” perspective… not a ton has changed.  The 3G iPhone is 4.5 x 2.4 x 0.48 inches (vs 4.5 x 2.4 x 0.46 for the original iPhone) and weighs 4.6 ounces (lighter than the original iPhone’s 4.8 ounces).  The phone is still available in 8GB and 16GB sizes but comes in black and white instead of the silver.  Contact search will be added to the 3G iPhone as well which is nice because scrolling through tons of names, frankly, sucked on the current iPhone.  GPS will be added as well.

Looks like Apple’s leakiest partner AT&T has put more fuel on the rumor fire with the latest memo leak.  Supposedly a AT&T memo for retail store employees went out saying not to take vacations from June 15th to July 12th.  Same thing happened last year during the last iPhone release.  The memo mentions “an exciting Summer Promotional launch,” which is most likely the 3G iPhone.  Let the lines begin.

Rumors of the past… 1….2….3….4
