iPhone Round-Up: Launches In Asia; Rumors Of Black iPhone And Jobs’ Upcoming Keynote

By Tricia Duryee - Mon 12 May 2008 11:32 AM PST

-- Australia-Asia Availability: SingTel will bring the iPhone to its 2.3 million subscribers in Singapore; Bharti Airtel will offer it to its 64 million customers in India; Globe Telecom will offer it to 21 million subscribers in the Philippines; and Optus will offer it to its 7 million customers in Australia, according to Fortune, quoting multiple sources.

-- iPhone Black: AT&T (NYSE: T), the exclusive U.S. iPhone supplier, is listing a second model of the iPhone on its Web site. When choosing a phone, users get two options in a drop-down menu—one for iPhone, and the other for iPhone Black, AppleInsider reports. The finding is being interpreted as support for rumors that Apple’s (NSDQ: AAPL) gearing up to offer a 3G iPhone. AppleInsider said the black option appears only for existing AT&T customers who are logged into their account and are trying to upgrade their handset model.

-- 3G Keynote: Steve Jobs will deliver a keynote address on June 9, the first day of the 2008 World Wide Developers conference, Apple public relations confirmed to Fortune. The event—and his speech—is expected to be where Jobs unveils the 3G iPhone. Fortune quoted a note written by Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster saying: “The launch of the new model is imminent,” based on a shortage of iPhones being witnessed around the world. Munster said among other shortages, iPhones were unavailable online in the U.S. on Saturday and last week, O2 ran out of iPhones in the U.K.
