I-phone expansion

Posted by chris on 6th, 2008

Yes, the years favorite phone/gadget/apple product has yet again made moves that will increase its ever fluctuating sales. This time its not price cuts, or promise of a 3G version but a move that will see the I-phone available to more people and will give more options. This is the news that British phone company Vodafone, having failed miserably in their bid to sell the i-phone in Britain and Germany, have secured a deal that will allow them to sell the ever popular handset in 10 countries: Australia, the Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Italy, India, Portugal, New Zealand, South Africa and Turkey.

This is good news in many ways: firstly those in the countries named will now be able to get this ‘revelation’ for themselves. It also means that, as normally happens when competition arrives, the prices (or rather the cost of the price plans available) may well decrease which in tern may make it more affordable for many people, thus increasing teh number those who can buy it.

All in all this is a positive move, but one that leaves us feeling a bit sorry for Microsoft. Not.
