Resistance is futile. The iPhone will not be denied.

Not as long as the lines on Doug Morris’ table in his private Manhattan restaurant.

When is it coming to Mexico? Carlos Slim (Owner of Telcel Cell Co, America Movil and Telmex) is shareholder of Apple.
Apple site just opened a few days ago… so when it is coming?

The iPhone is never coming to Mexico. Mexico is coming to iPhone by crossing the border illegally. No phones for Hector.

It will make it to all over the world. Mexico, wait for June… sorry for such an early notice (or should I say a late release).

But I though Ballmer said the iPhone wouldn’t sell?

As usual those supposedly in “the know” said it would flop in Europe. I’ve never seen line-ups for any other brand of phone. Say hello to more iTunes market share and say buh-bye to Universal Music’s pipe dream of subverting Apple.

I thought some important idiot said the iphone would not take off for a bunch of reasons like its not a business phone?

@Kev
I bet Ballermer and gates to each other secretly with an iPhone.

Tech envy is a killer.

The iphone will grow on a exponential curve. This just the beginning.

To think that this guy from BusinessWeek said the Apple Stores will be out of business in 2 years. Looks like its going pretty strong to me. haha

“Canada, Canada, Canada”

Why aren’t there any Canadian restaurants in the U.S.?

There’s American, Mexican, Chinese, Greek, Italian and so on. Canada is certainly big enough. Is there Canadian (as in cultural) food? Other than beer.

@Viktor…
Don’t know when is officially coming, but mine is working with movistar on pay as you go since August… Bought it on Launch day because I had to have it….

MW: Gave, as in I gave my hope for an official iPhone launch in Mexico (we still have not an iTunes store!!!, bittorrent working wonderfully though ; )

to Ampar,
There is great Canadian cuisine. Seal blubber soup, filet of old growth grub worms and pan fried permafrost. Hey, at least we can laugh at ourselves.
