iPhone 3G for US$199

Apple's CEO, Steve Jobs has just offically announced the new iPhone 3G at World Wide Developers Conference in San Francisco. The good news is that the new iPhone 3G will be available in 22 countries on 11 July 2008, and eventually to 70 countries later this year, at the price of $US199 and $US299 for 8GB and 16GB model respectively. He has made the price so attractive to consumers and this may result in price war among handphone makers. Anyway, it is good for consumers. However, the bad news is that Malaysia is not among the listed 70 countries. I hope Maxis Mobile which is aiming to hit the target of two million 3G subscribers, will do something to get this iPhone 3G to be fully supported in Malaysia.
