Korea's isolation in the global IT business was reaffirmed when Steve Jobs announced that the new iPhone will be "affordable for almost everyone" in the world -- but not here....
"Next time you are in Malta and you need an iPhone 3G, it will be there for you."
In the annual conference of Apple, the celebrity American CEO said that the upgraded version of iPhone will be released in 22 nations simultaneously on July 11, and in 70 nations within this year, from Portugal to India and from Japan to Madagascar.
South Korea was not mentioned during the conference....
"Korea is not ready," said a manager of Apple Korea Tuesday, adding that there is no visible plan for selling the new iPhone here. "The situation is not ripe in Korea."... |

| They couldn't handle the embarrassment of the I-phone outselling everything else in their home country -- much less all of the money flowing out of the country while it happens. |

Samsung has their own copy...uh, version of the iPhone being released one day before iPhone gets released. But as usual, foreign competition oppso. |

| If I buy an iPhone in the UK, would I be able to use it in Korea with a Korean Telecom provider? |
