If I get an iphone, should I go for the latest version (with the antenna issue) or can I make do just fine with the previous version?

i.e. are there significant O/S changes that will effect my ability to test and run an iphone application?

A previous version (3g or 3gs) can still run the latest O/S (4.0.2), the only things truly different programmatically for the iPhone 4 is the higher pixel count and resolution of the screen, the new camera, and the new/improved gyro/accelerometer.

The iPhone 3G can't do multitasking. If you want to test your app's multitasking capabilities, you'll need at least an iPhone 3GS or the latest generation of iPod Touch.
