Come on Apple… come on Rogers…
So, the widely-anticipated WWDC keynote by Steve Jobs starts in a little over an hour.
Here’s hoping that he’ll announce the new iPhone that everyone is talking about and eager to snap up, and also that he’ll announce that it’ll finally be available in Canada. I can’t BELIEVE that it still isn’t available up here. Sure, you can snag one and unlock it and make it work on Rogers if you really want to, but I prefer to have a legit one that I don’t have to hack and worry about bricking when installing future updates.
If we do get the iPhone up here, hopefully Apple has pressured Rogers (whom I’m assuming will get the iPhone contract) to have a fair price when it comes to unlimited data transfer. For far too long, Canadians have been raped when it comes to cellular charges, and the CRTC has done fuck all about it. Maybe the demand for the iPhone will turn some heads and make the greedy bastards running the telcos realise that charging the prices they do isn’t in their best interest.
Then again, most likely not. I plan on getting the new iPhone as long as a few things are for sure:
- An affordable data plan with Rogers.
- An affordable iPhone with Rogers.
- WebDAV support with the iPhone iCal app.
We’ll see.
