That should be a comma in ("iPhone %d,%d",majorversionnumber,minorversionnumber), not a period.

Dunno about you... I usually have my Konqueror's setting to something like No one here but us, squirrels - 3.0 VMS 19-bit. If a particular site breaks from that, I make an exception for them (and try to avoid them, for it annoys me, when sites have browser-specific rules/content.)

I've read the rumor mills. The one thing I'm not seeing there is the distinct possibility that 3,1 may not include a increase or change in functionallity. With at&t's exclusivity ending, 3,1 could simply be the major hardware rev to include CDMA in the product line?

Yeah, but if you have to read literally daily stories about one of those products, no matter how trivial (in this case, a non-news item based on rumour, that even if it was true, tells us nothing other than the bleeding obvious that they are developing new products), you might get annoyed, or simply wonder why such disproportionate advertising was being given to them.
Yeah, I know, I was one of the people bitching about the constant Mozilla posts on Slashdot many moons ago. My bitching didn't work.
I can see it now: "New Opera user agent string spotting in field testing!" Is that news, do you think?
Get enough Opera enthusiasts actively perusing the site and, sorry to tell you this, but yes, front-page material. Slashdot runs on ad-views. That's why we also were presented with stories about installing Linux on a dead badger, fictional tales of Microsoft throwing Sony out of a trade show, and Ask Slashdot articles for people who don't know how to use Google. You're not going to like hearing this, but there are a number of people on this site interested in what Apple's going to do next. Same is true for anything Google does and anything Microsoft does. (Not sure why marketshare has anything to do with that, even people who hate Microsoft post in Microsoft threads.)
I'll summarize my point for you. Bitching doesn't discourage Slashdot from posting the stories. Meanwhile, you're being fed stories you care about that others don't. Life's unfair. Boo hoo.
