more 3G in June

I've said in the past that I think the 3G iPhone will be out between June and September. I am going to officially revise that to between June and July. There has been some snazzy talk around the world that points to the 3G out soon. Here's the rundown.
16Gb phones are in limited supply. A company won't let this happen. Unless of course they are trying to reduce inventory or there is a production problem. We would hear about a production problem. Apple will want to reduce inventory in preperation for the 3G release. This supply issue is worldwide.
SingTel looks like they will be releasing the iPhone to Singapore in September. Why the long delay? Most of Asia is 3G and it is deemed as standard. You don't release a 2.5G phone in an area that is starting to look past 3G. With a September release that gives Apple plenty of time to release the 3G in the US first. It is also rumored that Belgium is in the same boat.
Component manufacturers are also eyeing the 3G release for June.
I'm looking forward to playing with my iPhone on the patio at Bengals come July!
