Australia’s Turning Red for the iPhone (and maybe Yellow and Blue too)

It’s coming. For the first time, we have solid information that the one and only iPhone is coming down under. In what could be considered a surprising annoucment, Vodafone has isseud a release that confirms it will be carrying the iPhone not only in Down Under, but in many other countries, including our neighbours (must not make sheep joke) New Zealand. A while ago some keen eyed law-types noted of a rule that potentially stops a phone  having one carrier, and this news has resurfaced once again. The announcment was cleverly worder and didn’t mention any deal exclusivity, so mine (and therefore iPhoneAE’s) money is on several carriers having the iPhone, as well as Apple selling an unlocked version. This is truly excellent news for us Aussies, but still no date of arrival, but a June release sounds good with the WWDC and the new Sydney flagship store opening. Keep yours eyes peeled because I don’t doubt the’ll be more news coming our way soon. (Oh yeah, the yellow is for Optus, Blue for Telstra)
