Launch date for iPhone revealed
Apple has confirmed that its much-anticipated iPhone product will launch on 29 June in the US.
The date was given in a series of TV adverts broadcast on Sunday, and was later confirmed by a spokesman for the California-based company.
The device, which combines the features of a mobile phone and personal digital assistant, will sell for $499 (£251) and $599, depending on configuration.
The phone’s much-touted feature is a completely touch-sensitive interface.
The adverts on sunday showed off several of the gadget’s features, including surfing the net, watching videos and scrolling through e-mails using a finger as a pointer. They ended with the news that the phone would be available “Only on the new AT&T” and “Coming June 29″.

Great news for the people in the US and it means it’s pretty much on time. How much longer we’ll have to wait in the UK and the rest of europe is yet to be seen. Although it’s going to be slightly complicated moving it over, I hope they do eventually as there is going to be a lot of hype around it.
