iPhone to spain!!!



Today at the WWDC, steve jobs confirmed that the iPhone will be on 70 countries by July and all those countries will have 3G capability by September..
The following picture shows the 70 countries:



It was also confirmed that the iphone2 will have 3G networking, and will be available in black and white:





It is now in the apple store, with all the specs, although youm cannot buy it, and news says you may never be able to buy it online, as it may require instore activation!! It's good, AND bad in some ways, many people want to go, buy the iPhone and run off home as quick as possible, to get the iPhone going, but if it requires in-store activation, the cues would be huge. If on July 11th in New York for example, there are 1000 people waiting for the 3G model, they'd be there for hours!


For people put of the USA, it's ok, as in much of those countries the iPhone has yet to be released, so to those people it would be normal, but if you've cued up once, and you go again and have to wit longer, you'll have quite a few impatient customers on your hands.

Here in Spain, if it's going to be sold in the telefonica shops, then it won't be too busy, as there is a Telefonica/Movistar shop in every small town.

I can't wait to get mine!
