Sigh

Yes, this is simply a post to ooh and aah over the iPhone, which, we learn from Apple, will be available June 29 (and of which they claim they’ll make and sell 10,000,000 in the first year!) in the U.S. But not here in Canada. Sigh.

Watch the ads on Apple’s site. There are three of them that demo the iPhone’s capabilities. Like John Gruber of Daring Fireball, I prefer “calamari,” in which we see someone watch a movie, decide to order calamari, find a nearby place and phone in the order all with 8 taps on the phone (not counting the typing out of s-e-a-f-o-o-d).

When will I get to give Apple a hefty whack of my money? The only word on the subject (in January of this year) was little more than a speculation that Rogers will sign a deal with Apple but said nothing about any release date here.

Sigh.
