No 3G iPhone yet, but here are some cool vibrating icons...

  Seems like the biggest wireless news lately is the no-news of no 3G iPhone announcement at Macworld 2008. 

The iPhone remains the object of desire for many, but also simply unjustified for most. 

The fact is that while one can deal with a slower Edge connection even for most data-centric activities, when it comes to surfing full web pages on that big beautiful screen, you’ve got to have the speed.  And no firmware update will give owners of the original iPhone the speed they need.
Surfers are better off using a proxy server which parses their pages accordingly.

As for those with iPhone-envy who are waiting for the iPhone 2, my bet is that they will have to wait until June to get to pay a premium for some 3G love.  And early adopter iPhonies looking for a speedy connection will have to rather focus on consuming the occasional firmware-upgrade bone they get thrown, until summer.

It’s a great product-release strategy, and should help Cupertino get up to the 7-8m units sold range as they approach the end of their first year and cut the price once more...
