Apple has signed deals with four major telecommunication companies in four countries to help the company surpass its iPhone sales goal of 10 million units by the end of 2008.

And it is safe to assume that the model would be a new 3G-enabled one, since 3G is the industry standard for this part of the world.

How I wish I’m the little kid. Because who knows, Steve Jobs might just decide to sponsor him/her with free lifetime iPod upgrades!
If you would excuse me, I’m gonna go stare at some logos now. My future kid might just sport some spiffy Sony, Nokia and Canon logo birthmarks if I do it faithfully everyday.
