There’s been a lot of rumors and speculation surrounding the 3G iPhone coming to the shores of Africa. As many naysayers have annouced, “Even South Africa has no iTunes Music Store and the Apple presence in South Africa is meager”. All this deliberation has been proven inaccurate as Vodacom announced they’ll be offering the 3G iphone to their customers by the 20th of July 2008, this is part of the ten-country deal that Vodafone has signed with Apple to supply the iPhone to the continent.
It is expected that the new iPhone will come in a variety of colours and with 3G connectivity, integrated GPS and other new exciting features. South Africa will undoubtedly receive this version of the device.

Iphone and others like it are opening a window never dreamed of. With the Iphone you con operate your business on the go. You carry our laptop in your hand. It is easy to get familiar with the technology side but the important side after acquiring your handset is the business side. You can find some one to help with the business or get hold of a book that will introduce you to the business side.
