iPhone World Map Charts Jobs' Giant Game Of Risk

It's tough to keep track of the iPhone's slow global release, so one Apple fan assembled all the data into one easy to read map. If the country is red, then they either have the iPhone or will be getting it this summer. (Note: Switzerland, Spain and Poland are still just rumored, not official).

It's like one of those pandemic maps from the movies. You see the military general plotting two little red dots. Then four. Then eight. And then, all of the sudden, the dots have covered the general's body, spewing puss across the room in all directions. [Apple 2.0]

I call WTF on this one... the iPhone hasn't been officially released in the
top half of North America yet.
Is it available in Mexico?

I thought like a third of iPhones sold in the US got taken back to China... that should be enough to make it sort of pinkish, at least.

what about Cuba? Are they bringing the Iphone to cuba? Cuba wants the Iphone and so do you. I bet castro has already an unlocked Iphone. But he won't let Raul use it. So raul will bring the iphone sooner or later.

If this exists I want a source -- if it does not I demand someone get on this.

The T-Mobile marketing manager confirmed that the iPhone will be coming to Croatia in the next year or so, after iTunes wich will be coming this year.

Why would anyone buy an iPhone now? There are almost daily rumours about a 3G iPhone, even if you were fine with Edge surely a new iPhone would mean that the old ones would get a price drop

As far as I was aware the Canadian release date of the Iphone has yet to be announced.

Rogers has announced they will be carrying it, but have yet to confirm a date. For all we know it could be Q4 / christmas before We get it.

Its not uncanny/unheard of given the fact that the first iphone wasn't even released here.
