The joy Of Wow
Continuing along the "iPhone in China" saga that has been absolutely gripping the Mac universe since November, Apple COO Tim Cook said during today's annual shareholder meeting that the device would make its debut in China... "one day." That mysterious day—for the generalized Asia, anyway—will come sometime this year, though. "We will enter Asia with the iPhone in 2008... we will one day enter China, we're not saying when, and we will one day enter India," Cook was quoted saying by Reuters.
Cook did not expand on specific plans, though. This is to be expected, given the fact that Apple is (no longer?) in talks with China Mobile after alleged conflicts over revenue sharing. Still, China Mobile (and other carriers in China) remain open to iPhone negotiations, so anything is possible within the next nine months.
CEO Steve Jobs was also at the meeting, and reiterated the company's 2008 goal of selling 10 million iPhones. China sure could help out in making that goal a reality, Stevie-o.
