Jobs at All Things Digital: iPhone to Have 3G?

Obviously iPhone's going to have 3G data capabilities at some point. But Steve Jobs, in conversation with WSJ's Walt Mossberg at D2007 today, said a few things that have folks wondering if the Rev A iPhone could, in fact, pack HSDPA compatibility and not just EDGE data as has so far been advertised.

Speaking of AT&T, Jobs said:

"The second reason is more profound: they have spent and are spending a fortune to build these 3G networks, and so far there ain't a lot to do with them. People haven't voted with their pocketbooks to sign up for video on their phones. These phones aren't capable of taking advantage of it. Youv'e used the internet on your phone, it's terrible! You get the baby internet, or the mobile internet -- people want the REAL internet on their phone. We are going to deliver that. We're going to take advantage of some of these investments in bandwidth."

Taking advantage of investments in bandwidth doesn't exactly mean EDGE, does it?
