Pretty excited about this considering how big the change was from 1.x to 2.x. Does anyone else remember if the iPhone 3G was announced when the 2.0 software was announced? I'm still using a first gen iPhone and I'd like to upgrade, but I figure I'd skip the 3G and just pick up whatever is coming next. I've seen some news saying that Apple has been buying up Flash memory from manufacturers and that goes in line with what happened previously. Wondering if I should hope for a new iPhone model on the 17th in addition to the software.

This is just a preview, not the release. I expect the software release to be simultaneous with the hardware release, which Tim Cook has been hinting will be in June. As with the iPhone 3G and iPhone OS 2.0, they're likely to release exclusively on the new device first before making the update available to older generations. There will probably also be some hardware-based features exclusive to iPhone 2009 to incentivize paying for a refresh.
