    Forget the iPhone, all phones should be 'unlocked' 22 October, 2007 09:09:13

    Don't mock iPhone users because their phones are locked; yours is probably locked, too
    Apple's iPhone hasn't made an obvious dent in the market share of either handset competitors or carriers that compete with AT&T.

According to French language Swiss news site LeMatin, not only will the 3G iPhone hit the mountainous country in June, but it will be sporting some interesting new capabilities.

The article (English translation) states that the iPhone will have GPS and a more powerful processor. It also states that the 3G iPhone will have the capability to videoconference (insinuating there will be a front-facing camera) and that Vodafone will offer a Live TV service especially for the device. Perhaps, AT&T's MediaFLO service will hit the iPhone in the US. It has been getting amazing reviews.

IF this is all true, it is all very big news for Apple and its customers. The GPS isn't a surprise as there have been many clues found. However the faster processor, videoconferencing and live TV capabilities were all just wild speculation...until now (no longer as wild?).
