iPhone coming to Austria


The next country to receive the iPhone will be Austria, says the chief executive of T-Mobile. Hamid Akhavan announced the news on Tuesday, according to Reuters, explaining that iPhones would go on sale sometime within the first half of 2008. The release will be notable for two reasons: first by making Austria only the fourth country in Europe to officially adopt the Apple device, but secondly for giving the same carrier control in two separate regions. T-Mobile was the original non-American vendor of the iPhone, launching in Germany on November 9th. Over 70,000 units have been sold there to date. T-Mobile is owned by Deutsche Telekom.

    At this rate ...

    iPhone will be available to most of Europe by 2010, most of Asia by 2020 and Africa by 2050.

    ...and Australia? Given we were the last place on earth to get the iTunes Music Store, I'm not too hopeful of seeing the iPhone here in my life time.

    way I see it, revco, you're only two letters away from getting the iPhone ;-)
