iPhone coming to Dubai?

02:46 UAE time.
The world’s coolest gadget took a step closer to an official Dubai release this week when Apple announced it would be shipping its latest generation iPhone to Qatar.
One of my geek spies tells me that this marks the first time the iPhone has been officially available in the Middle East.
Hopefully that means the UAE will be getting it soon.
iPhones currently available in the UAE are not officially imported to the region.
So gadget-loving Dubaians will have to wait just a little longer.
Check out Mark Sutton’s geek blog over at itp.net for the latest news on gadgets and gizmos available in Dubai.

Qatar have Vodaphone and I think that’s the reason they can have it. It’s a doddle to get it here if Etisalat and du both play well together and it doesn’t become anti-competitive behaviour.
Let’s hope they do and we can have legit phones here in the near future…
but does that mean that we will also have a local version of iTunes? Don’t you need that to run all the features? At the moment I use my Australian iTunes account with an Australian credit card.
Interesting.
