3G iphone , why has it been this long?

It almost seems like Steve has some kind of animosity against 3G iphone, other wise it should have been out already. Its the harbinger of the things to come for as far as the iphone 3G generation goes. Think of the possibilities, able to transmit live video and have a seamless connectivity.
iPhone 3G has so much potential that it will open a new stream line of products. Americans are long due to have this experience , the Japanese have already unleashed it and it will not be realized to its fullest potential unless it gets released in the states. 3G is the name of the game, as such Edge has done some amazing things as we know.

Lets hope Apple decides to come with a 3G iPhone really soon! Here in Holland we have several fast 3G UMTS networks, and im sure other European countries have 3G networks.
Actually i cannot beleive they are this far behind in the US!?
