Apple films 3G iPhone Commerical at Apple Store NYC
The Apple 24-hour flagship 5th Avenue store in New York is closed right now to the public. It will open again Friday 9am. According to MacRumors Apple is shooting a commercial for the 3G iPhone in the store.
I have not seen any photos that would prove that the shoot is about the 3G iPhone. Apple is doing a good job to keep the iPhone paparazzi far enough away from the store.

The 3G iPhone hype is already pretty red hot and at this time nobody really questions that the 3G iPhone will become available in June/July timeframe.

She further said that Apple would announce the 3G iPhone in June, but it would be available in the United States earliest in Fall and then a couple of months later in Germany, which would be 2009 by then.
