Well it couldn’t be more clear than that. The second generation iPhone is coming for sure in June. Foxconn are assembling according to the Chinese Commercial Times. They are expected to produce 3 million 3G iPhones in June only and it’s estimated they will manufacture 24 million by the end of this generation’s life cycle. Despite all that, there’s no official announcement. Everyone is waiting for Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference 2008 (WWDC 2008) in June and everyone is counting on this 3G iPhone to be finally produced. For now Foxconn are the only manufacturers of the first generation iPhone.

I really hate the term “iPhone Killer.” It’s so overused, and just about the term give for every other touchphone on the market similar to the specs of the iPhone. But as much as I dislike it, phone manufacturers know that to be able to eclipse the popularity of the Jesus phone and to be able to bring their brand and models to the forefront of the smartphone market, they truly need to come up with an “iPhone Killer.” As such, Research in Motion is rumored to be developing its own revolutionary handset to compete with the upcoming iPhone 2nd gen with 3G connection. IntoMobile speculates that the branded BlackBerry AK (Apple Killer) might just be the BlackBerry 9100. However, we could only know for sure once these information substantiate. If RIM indeed comes up with an iPhone Killer, will you be genuinely interested in it?

Around the world, people are compelled to be content with their 5-megapixel camera phones, which seem to be the best camera phones the market can offer. It won’t be too long before the 5-MP phones are eclipsed by this new Samsung technology. Samsung unveiled their new 8.5mm 8-megapixel camera phone module. The new camera module features Low Light Trio for shooting at dark places, “smile recognition” instead of the old face recognition which means the picture will only be taken when smiles of all the faces are recognized, an “eye flicker” recognition which would prevent a picture from being taken when you have your eyes closed. If and when this Samsung technology is fully-developed, it could mean the revolution of high-megapixel cameras for ultra-slip phones, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
