iPhone's Official Launch in India

Apple's iPhone is supposed to be launched in India somewhere in September 2008. This isn't breaking news but since I have been covering different countries today and their cell phone endeavors, I thought it's worth mentioning.

Vodafone is the carrier who will bring the iPhone to its Indian admirers. It appears it will be more expensive to get an iPhone in India. The 8GB version will retail for 28,000 to 30,000 INR (that's up to $740) with a plan I would assume. That's a lot of money to be asked for an 8GB iPhone, particularly now when the world is waiting for the 3G iPhones in June. On the other hand, it should be expected for other countries to sell such phones like the iPhone for much more than they are worth in the USA right now.
