3G iPhone coming early next year?

Steve’s response to our question about the lack of 3G on the iPhone was kinda reasonable — battery life is a major issue on current 3G chips — but that doesn’t mean the technology isn’t improving rapidly. According to The Street, we could see an iPhone with a 3G capable chip by the first quarter of next year. Of course, Apple declined to comment — they never talk about future products — but we wouldn’t be surprised if the company dumps a proper HSDPA / UMTS device onto the market around that time. We seriously hope they do: EDGE + WiFi is a horrible compromise these days, what with 7.2Mbps mobile connections starting to pop up around Europe.
