Latin America joins the iPhone world
Well, if the Australians were mad about being pipped to the iPhone parade by Ireland, they're really going to miffed to hear that America Movil has inked a deal to distribute the iPhone.
The Latin American mobile operator will be taking the iPhone to at least 15 countries in South America and the Caribbean. Among the countries targeted for the rollout are Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Columbia, the Dominican Republic and Peru.
The announcement officially indicates that the iPhone has become a global phenomena. Whereas early on it was limited to a few highly-developed countries, Apple's mobile phone has now officially made the jump to nearly every continent and into multiple environments and economic models.
If there was any lingering nugget of doubt that the iPhone should be taken seriously in the mobile phone world, this should just about kill it.
