iPhone 3G's baseband chip revealed?

Per Engadget ZiPhone spotted some code in the 2.0 beta iPhone firmware that could identify the chip to be used in the upcoming 3G iPhone.

The code mentions "SGOLD3," which could refer to the successor of the Infineon S-GOLD2 used in the current iPhone. The Infineon S-GOLD3H has a 7.2Mbps HSDPA chip with video acceleration and media playback support. New features include 5 megapixels instead of 2 for the camera, a 2x speed MMC / SD interface and DVB-H module support. The caveat is that all these don't necessarily mean they will be incorporated into the 3G. The previous chip used, the S-GOLD2, had several features which the current iPhone does not use.
