Last week, Craig Mathias wrote a piece on 802.21, a convergence standard promoted by the likes of InterDigital (IDCC) and Intel (INTC).

Every soul who knows something or the other about mobile phones and iPhones is talking about 3G iPhone. Even big shots like Walt from the WSJ are giving their speculations about when the iPhone is going to come. But now there are more evidences being found that the 3G iPhone might be coming pretty soon. The iPhone SDK 3.0 was released sometime back and some of the more inquiring kind of people have dewelled deeper into that SDK documentation and found out that the new iPhone will have SGOLD3 chipset which is 3G enabled so it proves that the iPhone which is coming in June at the WWDC 2008 has to be a 3G iPhone and thats not all this particular chip supports 5 megapixel camera and MPEG 4 video. That means that the iPhone that is going to be launched at the WWDC is going to be a multimedia powerhouse man..I am just waiting to read more about it..
