Engadget posts details of iPhone 3G firmware

We're all eagerly awaiting what must be the worst kept secret ever in mobile technology announcements next week, but up until now some of the detailed features of the iPhone 3G have been subject to speculation and debate. Earlier tonight, Engadget posted a preliminary firmware spec of the next iPhone; it includes tri-band HSDPA for near-global high speed data coverage, and an A-GPS unit for the location awareness we crave.

Interestingly, the internal build number on the firmware is quoted as "n82ap" (as compared to the original iPhone's "m68ap" designation). Remember back in February, when Erica noted an "N82" platform indicator in the iPhone's supported platform list? Isn't that special.
