iPhone release date: June 29th?

Take this one with a grain of salt, but we have it from a source that works in television who tells us that Apple's next round of iPhone commercials (three different spots) have been submitted for airtime, and at least one prominently features the magic number: release date on June 29th. (For the record, we've already heard rumors about it being on the 11th, 15th, 20th, and just about every other date in June.) That's all well and good, but there are some bits that make this especially sticky. Namely, these commercials are supposed to begin running next week -- that's before WWDC, when we were all hoping Steve would announce the iPhone date; however, the iPhone commercial(s) which actually feature the date might air after June 11th, so maybe that part is still alright. Also, the date of June 29th -- while still technically "late June" -- lands on Friday, and Apple is known for launching most of its products on Tuesdays. So hey, if it turns out to be June 29th, great -- but if not, don't say we didn't warn ya.

Update: Looks like we're looking at a confirmation on the iPhone launch date!

After about 2 seconds of the commercial the local weather jackass breaks in with a lame "severe" weather report to tell us that "it's raining outside." I hate channel 11!

i'd much rather it come out on june 12th, because thats my birthday, and if i had one wish involving iPhone, i'd wish to watch all the nerds and suckers go waste half a grand on it while i'm celebrating my birthday with my cozy little sprint EV-DO phone.

but june 29th is good too, i get to watch all the nerds suffer waiting for 17 more days, then when i get back from canada, i get a K9m (RAZR 2) or an UpStage for free and i get to laugh at all the iPhone nerds.

"Why the hell should NYC taxpayers pay for your iPhone (or for a school principal to have one either, for that matter)? Sounds like you are fortunate and NYC is getting scammed."

$12,000, you spread that over a million people and thats less than a cent, it'll just get lost with all the other overspending. Hell, 100,00 people can pay off $12,000 dollars with a cost of around a cent to them.

Ok this is it..... the iphone isn't for everyone. its for people who want their ipod, phone, internet and maps, and pics and videos all in 1 device. Thats it, and the people that want that will pay for it. Simple. its a great device gear to a certain consumer market and it will sell in that market

The reason the iPhone will change mobile computing is because AT&T has no part in it. AT&T & the other phone companies spent their existence sterilizing and denuding cellphones so they could charge $1 to download a wallpaper.

Apple changed everything because they will let you use your phone as an extension of your computer.

Thank you ATT and Apple for releasing the iPhone on my Birthday. Now the ultimate gift would be for dropping one at my house (599 one) and we all be set, lol.

Now I can have my Apple TV, MacBook Pro, and iPhone all work together.

This phone has no use for extreme text messagers.
