The Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg has retracted earlier comments that he expected a 3G iPhone to be on the market within two months. Now is it or isn’t it coming in two months?.

In a discussion last month at the Finnish Embassy Mossberg, who has excellent contacts within Apple, said that he was expecting a 3G iPhone within 60 days. But after the comments sparked fevered speculation he retracted them.

"If I knew when this date was, why would I announce it in the middle of a sentence at the Finnish Embassy, rather than report it in the Wall Street Journal?" he said.

The lack of 3G has been seen as a major failing of the iPhone, especially in Europe, and Apple is expected to correct this soon. The decision of T-Mobile in Germany to www.vnunet.com stock has fuelled speculation that Apple is trying to dump old stock before the switch.

Whitepaper - Remote Client Solutions: The Multiplication of Virtualisation Technologies
After more than two decades of undisputed dominance in the corporate desktop space, PCs are now under significant threat following the long-time development of virtualisation technologies that finally make the delivery of remote desktops viable for businesses. This IDC white paper provides an overview of remote client solutions and how they compare with the traditional PC infrastructure.

IDC conducted a statistical ROI analysis of the use of thin clients based on interviews with four HP customers and found that companies received a 466% return on investment after purchasing a thin client for their business. The IDC whitepaper also takes an in depth look at the benefit of HP thin clients to major Australia and New Zealand ticketing partner, Ticketek.
