Will the iPhone be here for Christmas? If so, what will it be called?
Matthew Ingram spreads a rumour started by The Boy Genius that the Canuck version of the iPhone could be in the shops for Christmas. Supposedly an ad will be appearing from Rogers that promotes the iPhone at a price of $499 with a three-year contract. That’s very steep but is in line with their other pricing arrangements for anything connected with the Mobile Web.
Apparently Rogers and Apple are being very coy about the timing. Since Comwave owns the iPhone trademark in Canada, undoubtedly there is some keen negotiation going on at present to free up the name. It would be a shame to have some other first initial and G may well be taken.
