The one thing that still puzzle me is how they have iPhone in non-music store ready country. Yes, you can argue they sell iPod worldwide, but iPod are different breed where you get content from ripping CDs (legally that is). But iPhone needs a lot of integration. Seeing how slow Apple launch in Europe as an good example. How many unit can Apple see possible selling in Singapore? If I were marketing guy for Apple in-charge of iPhone, I would definitely go countries like Japan, Taiwan, China or Hong Kong if you want to pick far east first spot to launch.

Countries with iTunes store can even boost their sales in music industry. Malaysia and Singapore will never be priorities to Apple. Therefore dont wait for official launch and buy it now! =D

guys, if you checked out the first link in the post http://bettytlopez.i.ph/blogs/bettytlopez/...ore-in-sept-08/and checked out the description on the youtube page for the first video in the post, it says "My husband purchased the unlocking software online for S$67 and we were able to unlock our 2 iPhones.". I hope you guys viewed the entire video, coz I can definitely see a "Z" icon in the home screen, which is of course the infamous "ZiPhone". Who pays S$67 for a free software?

I think the only reason we want them officially here is the warranty part. right?

June 9-13. "This is the day that I've been waiting for 2 and a half years." (Steve Jobs when announcing the iPhone last year)

To be exact, June 11, 2007 (US time). And that was WWDC 2007. I wonder what we have for WWDC 08. SDK bragging? lol.

That phrase is last years quote from Steve during his keynote on iPhone, I was wondering what would he say during WWDC 2008 for something breakthrough.
