20 more countries to get the iPhone 3G on August 22
Damian Koh | Jul 23, 2008
Here's another date to mark down on your calendar: August 22. Tim Cook, chief operating officer of Apple said during a recent conference call discussing the company's Q3 2008 financial results that it expects to launch the iPhone 3G in about 20 additional countries on August 22.
"We are confident enough in the production ramp that we will be launching about 20 additional countries on August 22, which will bring our total to over 40, and we still expect to be selling the iPhone in over 70 countries later this calendar year."
The iPhone 3G is now already shipping in 22 countries including Australia, Hong Kong, Japan and New Zealand in Asia-Pacific region. The App Store was also launched on July 11 together with the iPhone 3G and, according to Apple, there are currently more than 900 apps available, with over 20 percent of them free.
However, it wasn't mentioned which countries are amongst the 20 odd places that will get the iPhone 3G on August 22. One thing we know is, SingTel, the telco that will be the first carrier to bring the iPhone 3G to Singapore is keeping mum about it. More updates to come as we hear from Apple.
Thanks Victor for the heads up!
