Rumors are abound about what Apple is planning to release come WWDC 2010 at the Moscone Center in California. The Worldwide Developer’s Conference is scheduled to take place June 28, 2010 to July 2, 2010. WWDC is an annual conference that is sponsored by Apple. It uses the conference to showcase new software and technologies for developers. Apple also takes this opportunity to offer hands-on labs and various feedback sessions.
There have been considerable iPhone rumors for the better part of 2009. The one rumor that has caught the attention of the many in the industry is, “is the iPhone going to Verizon?” We have heard other various unconfirmed iPhone stories such as – it being RFID/NFC enabled, having a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus and a front-facing camera – to just name a few. The most exciting of these stories is the long-awaited end of the Apple/AT&T exclusive contract.
The original iPhone was released in 2007 with an exclusive contract with AT&T. It’s not news that many in the iPhone community have had less than desirable service under AT&T’s rule. The stories are growing that not only will Apple open up the iPhone to all networks but that the latest iPhone may being siting on Verizon’s network or even T-Mobile’s network. Both companies explain that their networks can handle the additional bandwidth that the iPhone users are known for consuming.
What I find curious is that Google is partnering with T-Moble to sell the Nexus One. The Google phone also stands to be a bandwidth hog. If the rumors are true then the question begs “How will T-Mobile manage the bandwidth of these two phones?” In my opinion it could be disastrous for T-Mobile. I guess we will just have to be patient and wait for news from WWDC 2010.
