Another week, another flurry of 3G iPhone rumors. Here’s a roundup of the current batch:

- Timing: Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference, presumably on June 10, during Steve Jobs’ keynote address. (ditto)
- Body: Less “plasticky,” 2.5mm thinner (current dimensions are 115 x 61 x 11.6mm). (ditto)
- Accelerometer: Re-tuned. (ditto)
- Bandwidth: Up to 7.2 Mbps from Infineon (IFX) S-GOLD3H chipset (ZiPhone, see here)
- Camera: Higher res (3 megapixel) (Silicon Alley Insider, citing “a friend of a friend” who claims to be a beta tester)
- Video: Video recording capability, upload directly to YouTube (ditto)

Apple (AAPL), of course, will confirm none of this. Take it for what it’s worth.
