Many people were asking me, when iPhone will hit here in Qatar or in the Philippines? My casual answer without thinking a bit is maybe next year, hehehe.

iPhone will hit the US market today and I’m sure all the iHype will be answered today. Although some lucky human in this earth got it first. My favorite iPhone pre-launch review is by David Pogue of NYT, his video presentation is also hillarious and must to see. Personally, without the real reviews of other real users, I don’t think I will go with the iPhone wagon as early as this year assuming Apple Store is available here in Qatar/Philippines and local carrier here starts offering iPhone - as history shows I able to wait until 5th generation of iPod video, and 2nd generation of shuffle before buying iPods. Most probably I’ll buy first Mac Book Pro before buying iPhone, hehehe.

Some factors I’m considering right now:
