While the continuing "will they/won't they" saga of the CDMA iPhone is far from resolved (and even the Journal is now hedging on the date of a CDMA entry), the name iPhone HD might actually have some merit.

Yesterday, after The Wall Street Journal posted its story, Daring Fireball's John Gruber dismissively responded to the report -- pointing out that it was virtually substance-free in terms of details. He then went on to dispense some information he has heard about the next iPhone.

Namely that:

It will be based on the A4-family CPU system (meaning it would be part of the same CPU family as the iPad)

The resolution would be doubled to 960x640

It would sport a second front-facing camera

It would support third-party multitasking

Now, how many of these rumors are true is unknown -- but Gruber has a pretty good track record when it comes to info like this. Further more, Gruber finds the HD moniker plausible, especially in light of the double resolution display.

Engadget also reports that the iPhone HD (or whatever it ends up being called), will be announced on Tuesday, June 22. Historically, this date falls in line with past iPhone release dates.
