Apple Now that the WWDC08 keynote has come and gone, we've learned very little that we didn't already know. The iPhone 3G will be here on July 11, and will retail for $199 for an 8GB phone, $299 for a 16GB phone, available in white or black. OS X 10.6 will, as expected, be code-named "Snow Leopard," additional details to follow for sure. The App Store will feature some amazing new software, and Apple's new MobileMe is mere weeks away. Watch the "read more" link on this story for continued updates from around the web. If you'd like to read the play-by-play on the WWDC announcement, see Macrumors Live. UPDATED within.

True Sweden has great 3G coverage. But by your own data Sweden has a fraction of the population of the US and at a fraction of the size area wise. The US also has a lot of older infrastructure items and replacing them is a huge undertaking an order of magnitude higher than Sweden.


May I suggest you look at the legislation within the US which makes rolling out technology alot slower and more costly than most other countries. Take high speed broadband, it is illegal to role out the infrastructure in 'wealthy suburbs' first and neglect the poor ones - in otherwords, they're forced to spend billions rolling out services in areas that provide no immediate return on investment.

Cripes, if we had that sort of monumental stupid legislation like that in New Zealand - there wouldn't be a single DSLAM in any exchange in NZ; we'd all be using dial up. Same can be said for mobile phone infrastructure as well. Before you start 'blaming' the geography, how about looking at the stupid legislation that is passed.
