Vodafone building TV service for 3G iPhone?

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?).

Update May 14th: Swisscom confirmed this morning that it will indeed be carrying the iPhone. No news on these features however.

Do you know when this service will be available and when they plan on releasing the new model of iPhone?

On June 9th, Steve Jobs will deliver the keynote speech at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference. According to almost every news outlet and financial analyst on the planet, that is the time.

Since the online Apple store is sold out of the current generation iPhone, some have speculated that the 3G version will be released early, but I doubt it.

Are you a condescending nerd who is so insecure that you look for every opportunity to put people down (for not knowing something that someone of your "superior intellect" would know) just to make yourself feel better?
