Apple Launch iphone in India
So it looks like Vodafone (NYSE: VOD) doesn’t have an exclusive deal for the iPhone in India: Airtel has also announced a tie-up with Apple to bring the iPhone to India later this year. PTI reports that the launch may be around the second week of august. Nothing on prices yet, though. This is a part of a deal that Singtel (for Singapore) and companies it has investments in – Airtel (for India), Global Telecom (for Philippines) and Optus (for Australia) – signed with Apple (NSDQ: AAPL). Not that it really matters – there are iPhones aplenty in India.
A great explanation for what the iPhone is, from PTI: “iPhone is a mobile phone that allows its users to make calls by simply tapping a name or number in the address book. It leads the customers to select and listen to voice-mail messages in whatever order the consumer wants.”
Few companies in India already started with iphone application development. The best part which is differentiate iphone from other mobiles is its extendibility. I am using iphone since last 8 months and I can only say one thing that in near future no mobile company can evan compete with what iphone offers in term of applications. With new iPhone 3G or updated software of iphone any one can browse apple app store and download applications or corporates and professionals can easily find iphone programmers for custom application developments.
