Tom Krazit over on CNET renews the speculation (yet again), citing "Uncle Walt" Mossberg of the WSJ:
"Walt Mossberg, the legendary technology columnist for The Wall Street Journal, made the prediction during an executive summit held by Beet.tv last week. For some reason, Mossberg's comments were not noticed until over the weekend, perhaps because the title of the post referencing his talk was 'FTC Should Stop Verizon from Calling DSL 'Broadband,' Walt Mossberg.'"
This is a prediction that Apple will announce a 3G-enabled iPhone for either or both the EU and US by June 9, 2008 (some reports say that the former will come first). Note that the 9th is the first day of the WWDC, which takes place June 9-13. Technically, this is 62 days from the date of this prediction's publishing, but hey, who's counting? Hehe, actually, the 9th is a Monday -- the 7th is a Saturday so we opted to go with the later day for logistical reasons as well.
No keynote plans have yet been announced for the WWDC.
UPDATE: Now Mossberg is backing off his original prediction. We're sticking with ours;)

I think the title for this prediction is misleading.. The announcement of a product != arrival of the product..
Besides, I think it's widely accepted that a 3G iPhone is coming; the prediction of an announcement seems pointless to me..
