iPhone coming soon
9to5Mac points out that Walt Mossberg may have confirmed the release timeframe, expected to be in June. In an online video (about 6:50 in), Mossberg casually but confidently says that the iPhone will be 3G in 60 days.
It is unknown whether Mossberg made the claim using additional knowledge or simply from circulating rumors, however his closeness to Apple and Steve Jobs shouldn't be overlooked.
Walter S. Mossberg (born March 27, 1947) is an American journalist who is the principal technology columnist for the Wall Street Journal.

Nokia readies iPhone response
Nokia remains at work on its answer to the Apple iPhone, codenamed "Tube," a company official said on Monday.
Shown in a slide at the Evans Data Developer Relations Conference in Redwood City, Calif., Tube looks similar to the popular iPhone. The Nokia device showed graphical displays, such as a promotion for the movie Shrek the Third. Other capabilities will be featured, such as the ability to upload photos.
"It's our first touch device," said Tom Libretto, vice president of Forum Nokia. Interfacing with the system is done via touch similar to the iPhone. He said the company has not published the planned date of shipment for Tube.
Nokia believes it can compete with iPhone, and during his presentation, Libretto compared volume shipments of iPhone to Nokia's shipments of phones. Since the launch of iPhone in June, Apple has shipped 5 million to 6 million of the devices, paling in comparison to Nokia's device shipments, Libretto said. "We've done that [volume] since we've had dinner on Friday," he said.
(Apple afterward said 4 million iPhones had shipped worldwide by January.)
The Tube will support Java, something Apple has been reluctant to do with iPhone.
Except of course the majority of Nokia volume is cheap candybar craptacular phones.
