iTunes Gets Ready for iPhone 3.0, Potential 32GB iPhones?

The latest version of iTunes (8.2) is now available for download. There are some bug fixes as usual, but the biggest thing is that the update now makes your iTunes ready for the new iPhone OS 3.0 which should come out at WWDC on June 8th (as you can see from our generic countdown). [image from Lifehacker]

Speaking of June 8th, that could very well be the date that Apple officially announces that they will be releasing a new iPhone to go along with the new firmware. Apparently the new hardware will have a serious upgrade as well. According to Engadget, Apple has required the right to release a phone or phones with 32 GB hard drives.

4GB to 32GB -- that's one hell of a range, but we're hearing from a trusted source that new iPhones in 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB capacities just garnered approval by the PCS Type Review Certification Board, the standards body responsible for certificating handsets for use with some carriers (AT&T, for instance).

Looks like everything is coming along smoothly on this first day of June. A iPhone Summer is way better than a white Christmas!
