Ireland gets the iPhone, Australia gets mad
Today it was revealed that the iPhone will be making the jump over to Ireland.
On March 14th, Apple and O2 will be launching the superstar handset on the emerald isles, and most everyone is pretty thrilled by the news.
Well, everyone except the Gadgetroos over at Gizmodo Australia, who wonder why Apple has yet to take the iPhone down under:
"For those of you not up to date with your geography and population
statistics, According to Google, Ireland has an estimated population of
4,109,086 as at July 2007" they note.
"Australia, on the other hand, has an
estimated population of 20,434,176. That's roughly five times the
population of Ireland, which in my head equates to roughly five times
the number of iPhones Apple could sell if they hurried up and released
the iPhone in Australia."
There are so many hacked iPhones in Ireland I think Apple where starting to worry. With the fall of the US dollar and the euro so good everybody is getting them....but with the ripoff price and the ripoff pricing plans and ripoff download cap...nobody will buy them anyway when it finally arrives....well done Apple and O2
