It seems unlikely that this would be announced at an event that doesn’t feature Steve Jobs. But, let’s be honest it doesn’t seem very likely to begin with. Why would Apple make such a change to a brand new platform. Too many developers would have to make too many changes to their apps too early in their lifespan, the App Store will only be 6 months old at the rumored time of release. Absolutely ridiculous. Unless of course, this new iPhone wasn’t compatible with the App Store, but isn’t that what is currently making the iPhone so great?
