From the article "No More iPhones at Apple Store - 3G Imminent?" in Techcrunch, I was shocked by a big news in which Apple online store has stopped selling iPhone completely by stating iPhone is currently unavailable. When I was thinking this news is just a rumor because I remember that iPhone is still sold at Apple Store nowadays, then I visited the official website of Apple and check it out. As a result, iPhone is definitely unavailable. In the other words, 3G iPhone is going to release very soon.
When I was studying in Hong Kong, my home country, 3G phone had been already released in the market. All the 3G phones were released by a telecommunication company called "Three". At that time, 3G phones symbolized that we had entered a new generation of telecommuncation. It is because this company can bring people the world's first Video Conference service, which enable maximum 4 3G users using 3G mobile phone to make face-to-face communication simultaneously anytime, anywhere in Hong Kong or overseas countries.
Now, 8GB and 16GB are no longer available in Apple online store means a new product or revolutionary iPhone is comming soon. Indeed, 3G iPhone is expected to launch sooner rather than later, even though iPhone has just been released for about one year. It is because LG, the South Korea-based electronics, will release in Japan next month a 3G version of the Prada, a touchscreen cellphone. I strongly believe this phone would threaten iPhone because 3G feature would be attractive. Although iPhone includes GPS, Youtube, Email, Music, Movies, and Photos, some users would prefer to have a 3G phone because those features could be found in other electronic devices. Therefore, let's wait for or look forward to what Apple will release soon.
