iPhone Risk: May Roundup
Back in April, we lamented that the month ended pretty much exactly where it started, 6 iPhone's launched, 1 announced for Canada, 7 rumored around the rest of the globe, and not much else on the horizon.
Wow. What a difference a month makes!
Here we are at the end of May, and we have the same 6 launched, but an unbelievable 45+ countries/territories announced, presumably for the iPhone 3G, presumably in June following Apple's WWDC and Steve Jobs' scheduled Keynote.
What's left for June? China? Japan? Russia? A roof-blowing "one more thing" announcement of the iPhone 3G being sold unlocked?
What do you think?
