Hey, did you hear that there might be a new iPhone being declare (and possibly released) next week? Yeah, us too, and we’ve been slid some details on what precisely the gold master firmware for the new 3G-laden model contains. Hardware-wise, we’ve been able to confirm the presence of a whole lot of HSDPA along with the oft-rumored GPS receiver, which is plan to help us get a couple good nights’ rests ahead of Steve’s WWDC keynote on Monday. Head on over to Engadget for the full scoop!

We’ve heard that the 3G iPhone would add real, true, honest-to-goodness (no joke) GPS into the mix instead of the fakey guesstimation the current model offers, and Dat. unearthed deep within the annals of the 2.0 firmware emulator lends credence to the scoop. Specifically, users have found references to NMEA data, the raw language used to communicate GPS coordinates between devices; that’d suggest that Apple’s intending to offer official support for GPS add-ons at the very least, but more likely, it foretells the inclusion of a GPS receiver right in the glossy black shell itself. What that means for efforts like locoGPS (pictured) remains to be seen, but it’d be awfully nice of Stevie to let external modules talk to the new firmware features on original iPhones, wouldn’t it?
