iPhone 3G Launch Date Confirmed- breaking news
Well here it is, the confirmation we have been awaiting - Less than three weeks away!
Quote:
We all suspected it, but now it is confirmed: sources close to the 3G iPhone launch have told Gizmodo that Apple will announce their new model at the WWDC Keynote on June 9th. The second-generation iPhone will be available worldwide right after the launch, and not at year's end, as previously thought. The new model will also herald new sales policies in some countries.
In Spain, for example, the 3G iPhone will be available for sale at the June 18th grand opening of Telefonica's megastorean Apple Store-like shop located in the company's historical building in Madrid's Gran Vνa with nationwide availability right the next day or after a few hours. The other European countries with iPhone availability will have similar launch schedules.
According to the same reliable sources, the 3G iPhone will no longer be available at a fixed price pointat least in some countries, and its launch will also bring new sales policies, although these have not been completely specified yet.
The move is a logical step, since the iPhone has clearly solidified its position as the cellphone to beat during last twelve months, and companies in the cutthroat European cellphone market need to use it as an incentive to capture clients aggressively.
This most probably means the new 3G iPhone will be integrated in the usual marketing systems of carriers, with point-based trade-ups, discounts for carrier switchers, and other service-based subvention packages.

Yes, I understand, the optimism is waning. |

It's not optimism - it's a lack of Apple saying anything.

Not according to Apple a lot of the time (like when the iTMS went "world wide", meaning the US and Europe). |

i'd say the iphone will be released when the stores are to be opened in Australia...in saying that generally apple like to give dates when something is to be released. i might go into a local store and see what they say seemingan event like this, internal memos would already be going and hopefully i'll find someone who isn;t a company drone to spill some beans
