Surely Jobs will announce 3G at macworld, just prior to its posting at the FCC, to be released 12 weeks later (ie after the Christmas sales are over)

Late 2008 - Early 2009, no 3G folks, which means, Telstra is the only provider with EDGE in Australia, so we know what carrier, but what we need to find out is WHEN!.

So here's hoping the talks die down about the iphone in australia, and we can ignore all the iphone rage/craze, and move on with our lives *shakes fist at apple and walks off into the sunset*

No iPhone until November 2008?
It's starting look like it isn't worth waiting for the iPhone to arrive rather than importing.
From smarthouse.com.au:

The Apple iPhone will not be released in Australia for at least another 14 months Apple executives in London have admitted

Hopefully it's just a case of Apple UK not knowing what Apple AU is doing but it's still worrying.
Oh well, time to develop a fetish for some other gadget.  |

by then the iphone will be old hat, there will be cheaper faster, more affordable alternatives on the market. the iphone will get a major run for its money here as far as competition goes, its all very well having the ipod market but there are bigger and more well establishes makers who who majority subsidize there phone will be interesting, thats for sure.

I dont buy it. Apple would almost certainly never say anything about what they plan to do in the future.

That wouldn't surprise me. They are rolling this thing out pretty slowly, and they have a number of other larger and much more important countries to go before they get to Australia: France, Germany, and Japan for example. A few months between each and you could easily see a launch here late next year.

I do, as negations with telcos here here have indicated they only want a 3G iphone (no 2.5 G Wi FI EDGE compromise effort that is currently available). That wont happen till later 2008 when 3G chip sets become more energy efficient (as said by Steve Jobs today), so Australia wont see an iphone till this time next year. Id even put money on it ! |

Does anyone know which chip-maker is actually going to have lower power chipsets by next year? Or is the release date simply being echoed by SJs hints?

If it is after october 31st I'll be cheering (if it's a 3G model not on telstra) because my optus contract expires in october next year
