iPhone 3G to shoot off the stores?

iPhone 3G to shoot off the stores?After a few days, the world will witness the Worldwide Developer Conference where Apple supposedly will proclaim the new iPhone 4G, which till date has not been officially confirmed yet. As the industry watchers claim, it has become a habit of Apple to launch new iterations of its iPhone at the famed WWDC, at the same time bidding adieu to the previously held models.

Well this time it looks out to be the turn of iPhone 3G. Apart from the release of the iPhone 3GS which may come along with the 4G it is very much likely that Apple slowly is trying to pull off the iPhone 3G out of the shelves. This added to facts that saw the "select" button for buying the iPhone 3G from the Apple store went missing since the previous day, and seemingly has no signs of coming back. It may either be due to a technical glitch or it's just that 3G is just out of stock, but the question arises over here is Apple could have straightway stated it instead of removing the "select" button.
