Apple store in Taiwan has iPhone, sort of

by Sean Cooper, posted Jul 5th 2007 at 3:38PM

File this under hero of the Apple fanboy world friends, an Apple reseller from Taiwan flew to the US to lineup with the rest of us to get his hands on the precious. After a 30 hour wait in line and some serious transit time, the iPhone -- and only a 4 gig version it seems -- is now at home in Taiwan. Activated and roaming on Taiwan's Chunghwa Telecom, we're betting that the gadget geeks in electronic mecca are likely lined up four abreast to get a quick peek. We're thinking he could have saved himself some time -- plus the brutal roaming charges -- and just put a decent knockoff on display.

Interesting that the operator name appears instead of AT&T.

Interesting as this was not one of the names in the png's recently found in iPhone. Maybe O2 doesn't have the rumoured deal in the UK... well here's hoping as their Uk coverage is pants !

Does "Chunghwa Telecom" even exist in the UK? Probably not. Still, better to hope that T-Mobile gets it in all their markets (unfortunately not the USA- I'd compare AT&T to O2 quite easily) and Vodafone gets it in the rest of Europe.
