Apple today announced the launch of the 3G iPhone

Apple today announced the launch of the 3G iPhone, officially launching on July 11. They’ve also reduced the price of the phone to $199 and $299 for the 8GB and 16GB model respectively. This is, in my opinion, a great price for such a great product.

If you didn’t catch the info in the local newspaper, the iPhone is launching in Indian around Diwali.
I wonder at what price Apple will launch the iPhone here. I certainly hope its less than the current grey market price (last I checked, it was 13,000 bucks in Delhi). But hey, you can always buy a cheap Chinese imitation for less

Btw, here are the links to the New York Times story, and the official Apple.com announcement.

I also wonder about the viability of the 3G iPhone with the increasing propagation of WiMax…hmm..another battle on the cards?
