Apple iPhone: 2G = 3G?

I've been reading a lot of buzz recently surrounding the rumor that Apple will be unveiling a second generation iPhone this summer.

The big enhancement will be the switch from the current EDGE network for internet connectivity to the faster 3G network. Other enhancements for the next generation phone might include new OLED technology that could increase battery life and result in a slimmer phone.

I know I was more than a little surprised that there wasn't any announcement of the second generation iPhone at the most recent MacWorld expo... but if the phone couldn't be ready till June, it makes sense not to make the announcement that would all but halt 1G phone sales.
