European iPhone rumours swirl
Barely out of the shops in the US, Apple's eagerly anticipated iPhone is the subject of increasing speculation about how and at what price it will be rolled out in Europe later this year. Despite a hefty price tag of either $US499 or $US599 ($582 or $699), depending on size of the memory, analysts say Apple has sold between 310,000 and 700,000 of the gadgets since its US launch on June 29. Now the question is which European countries, and crucially which operators, will be first to benefit from the much-hyped device that combines the wildly popular iPod music player with a mobile telephone, email and internet access.
The Financial Times reported late last week that Apple would limit the launch of iPhones in Europe this year to France, Germany and Britain. The rest of the continent would follow suit with Asia next year.
