Hot off the rumour-mill folks is news that Apple is planning to announce a 3G version of the iPhone on Monday in a ménage a quatre with Vodafone, Germany’s T-Mobile and Carphone Warehouse.

If true, it’s great news indeed for those iPhone fans since the US is only getting a 2G device. The use of Vodafone and T-Mobile, unlike the US AT&T-only deal, is also a good thing, since users will [hopefully] get a range of more competitively priced plans and options.

Finally, Apple spreading its iPhone goodness among operators and using Carphone Warehouse as the front-end is a smart move that could quickly boost sales and get the iPhone some traction in the already cut-throat European phone market.

The launch timeframe still looks likely to be the end of the year. Now, we just have to wait until Monday to see if it all pans out.-Martin Lynch
