Some people take Gizmodo too seriously. They become offended when they see Gizmodo post porn next to their gadget news or pull adolesecent pranks at trade shows. If you know that Gizmodo is written for 14-year-old boys, then you'll understand their style. That said, you need to take the same context for their announcement today of the 3G iPhone:
"We all suspected it, but now it is confirmed: sources close to the 3G iPhone launch have told Gizmodo that Apple will announce their new model at the WWDC Keynote on June 9th. The second-generation iPhone will be available worldwide right after the launch, and not at year's end, as previously thought. The new model will also herald new sales policies in some countries."
Citing unnamed sources "close to the 3G iPhone launch" is not equal to a confirmation. If they had an email from Apple's PR, that would be a confirmation. There are a bunch of reasons why Gizmodo's article is shady. First off, they only say the 3G iPhone will be "announced" at WWDC and will go on sale "right after the launch." So, when exactly is that? Wouldn't a confirmation give you a hard date for the iPhone going on sale?
The truth is, the iPhone has not been approved by the FCC yet, so nothing can be confirmed. There is no confirmation, and my "sources close to the situation" say Gizmodo is making up shit to drive pageviews.
