Apple have stated that they plan to release a new phone every year.

What I find more surprising is that according to BGR The Chinese variant will be TD-SCDMA - an unproven technology which, although the licence has been granted to China Mobile (China's largest carrier) I believe it has so far only been tested by 60,000 users - hardly exhaustive! It does show that Apple have more faith in this technology that I do

Microsoft announced today the new Zune HD will have an OLED screen and a 720p HD video output. I hope the new iPhone keeps up

You mean like the 3G does?

That's what Apple hinted at in their 3.0 announcement, if I recall.

Unfortunately I don't believe that is the case.

TomTom announced that it worked on the iPhone when the 3G was released but I've heard nothing since.

ALK showed a PoC of CoPilot running on the iPhone earlier this year but I have not had a beta from them yet so it certainly won't be ready for when FW3.0 is released. I haven't been pushing for it as I don't have FW 3.0 beta but they will let me know as soon as they have anything for testing.

You are correct, cause that information is already publicly known. Even posted on Apple's own website.

Yes
ALK are on target for a similar release date for CoPilot (which I much prefer to TT) but the big problem with the iPhone is going to be the size limitations of the iPhone Store that many other developers will hit with not being able to provide maps in the store.
ALK have that covered so I guess TT do as well.
