The web is full of rumours this week about Apple releasing a 3G iPhone, which won't please the tens of thousands of people who snapped up the 2.5G version when it went on sale with O2 this month in the UK. However, don't worry just yet, since the rumours are sketchy, and focus on Spain and Italy, rather than the UK.
So, one rumour says the 3G iPhone will go on sale in Spain next May, while the other says Vodafone will have it in Italy, but only after Christmas. Some form of the iPhone will surely go on sale in both countries soon, since they haven't got Apple's handset yet.
However, launching a 3G model there so soon would be a controversial move by Apple, which would enrage early adopters here in the UK. It seems fairly sure that a 3G iPhone will launch next year, but it remains unclear whether O2 will let people upgrade before the end of their 18-month contracts.
