“Apple is clearly planning a massive international roll-out of the next-generation iPhone, with key indicators suggesting the product will see introduction across all global markets this year,” Jonny Evans reports for Macworld UK.
“Vodafone today confirmed it has secured distribution rights for the device in ten countries, including hugely populous India and Australia,” Evans reports.
“T-Mobile has confirmed its intent to introduce the next-gen device in Austria, while launch plans for Italy have also been confirmed. Plans to introduce the iPhone in Japan, Mexico and Latin America and Russia have also emerged in recent weeks,” Evans reports. “China seems to be the next target market.”

australia hugely populous? I think there’s like 16 million people there. This guy needs to check his facts
Let the Mother of all BLOODBATHS begin!!!!!!!!!!
@johnson: learn to read… he said hugely populous india AND australia.
@ johnsson
exactly my thoughts.
California is way bigger than Australia.
India is by any standards ‘hugely populous’!
It’s comprehension lessons, not reading lessons, that some folk need.
MDN what type of bubble bath would you recommend?
Blood orange? Red Currant? Tomato juice? Strawberry Wot? WOT?
KACHING !!!!!
The wording is a bit ambiguous. I don’t think anyone would argue that India is “populous”, but if he’s referring to the two combined then Australia is a drop in the ocean in terms of numbers and kind of odd to lump in with India. If he’s calling them both “populous” individually then that’s just wrong. It’s big but not full. Of course that’s not to say it isn’t a valuable market.
And so the second stage of apples battleplan against the smartphone market begins. This will be a crippling blow.
Australia in 20 million and change. Half the population of Canada, 1/3 the population of France or Germany.
I think he meant “Australia and hugely populous India”.
But it’s still a bit clumsy.
G’day!
I knew it!!! And don’t forget there’s always one more thing

“…Australia and hugely populous India.”
Shhhhhhhhhhh
iPhone 2.0 is suppose to be a secret!
If Steve (the other one) found out this got out he’d flip!
I bet MS will try and trump the rollout from Apple by introducing a new Zune. Lets see, yeah a new color, like yellow. LOL
And Australia is still the lucky country – 85% of the population is 35 km from the beach!
And the highest number of public holidays of any country in the world…
AND we do not have to pay for incoming calls or text messages.
AND I can’t wait to have a 3G iPhone… with no AT&T;attached!
BTW – heaps of jailbroken iPhones here.
Cheers… (also the highest consumption of beer per capita in the world)…
It is ChrissyOne!!!!!
Hi ChrissyOne!
Feel the Earth turning? This could be ‘ u g e !
BTW, when’s the Esperanto version arriving?
“BTW, when’s the Esperanto version arriving?”
It will be released in front of the U.N. as soon as William Shatner finishes recording the new promotional ballad from his ranch studio.
Sadly, it’s also some of the most boring beer in the world. Unless it’s changed in the last few years, there are no boutique brewing houses in the entire country. *sniff*

I’m sure the Aussies can berra the criticism. Only a few will roo not getting an iPhone at the rollout.
