iPhone 3G's Baseband Chip Revealed?
engadget.com — The folks at ZiPhone spotted some code in the brand new 2.0 beta iPhone firmware that could point to the chip to be used in the upcoming 3G iPhone. The code makes mention of "SGOLD3," which could very well refer to Infineon's followup chip to the S-GOLD2 which powers the current iPhone.

- kolais, on 04/09/2008, -1/+1It very well might be just another count of Zibri's cheap publicity. The actual disassembly ( http://i27.tinypic.com/15o759x.png ) shows not only the reference to S-Gold3, but also to S-Gold1 (first gen. Infineon chip) that was never used in the iPhone. So the code is likely to be just a part of Infineon library that supports more than one their platform.

Speculation is reaching fever-pitch.
