It's a short week due to Christmas, but there was still some iPhone news of interest. Here are some of the highlights:
- MacRumors reports that, according to Nielsen, the iPhone 3G is the mobile phone model with the largest percentage of users (4%).
- Dan Frakes of Macworld has an excellent list of gifts for the iPhone lover.
- Gizmodo tests 3G data on all of the U.S. networks in 12 cities and concludes that AT&T's 3G network is the fastest.

- The Financial Times has an interesting article on the iPhone App Store, noting that it was far more successful than Apple ever expected.
- The Harvard Business Review names the Top 50 CEOs. Steve Jobs is #1.
- Dan Moren of Macworld has tips on talking to your iPhone using the Voice Control feature of the iPhone 3GS.
- The Washington Post carries a Reuters story about how Tapulous, the developer of the iPhone game Tap Tap Revenge, is bringing in almost $1 million a month.
- And finally, are you ready for the announcement of the next model of the iPhone? Apple traditionally introduces new models in June, and AppleInsider speculates that in 2010 it will be on June 28th. This is because the Moscone Center in San Francisco is booked for a anonymous "corporate event" June 28 to July 2, 2010, which AppleInsider believes will be the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC), a natural venue to introduce the 2010 model of the iPhone. The original iPhone was released on June 29, 2007, the iPhone 3G was announced at WWDC on June 9, 2008, and the iPhone 3GS was announced at WWDC on June 8, 2009.
