Apple Strikes iPhone Deal in Italy with Two Partners: related news

apple deal italy partners strikes two iphone
After losing out to its rival O2 last year, Vodafone (NYSE: VOD) has struck a deal with Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) to sell the iPhone in ten countries, reports Reuters. Those countries include Australia, the Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Italy, India, Portugal, New Zealand, South Africa and Turkey, according to the operator, which didn’t give any more details on the agreement. When the iPhone first launched in Europe last fall, Vodafone CEO Arun Sarin called the 2.5 G handset a “pretty poor experience”. The operator also ended up suing O2 in Germany, alleging that its rival network didn’t have the right to sell the iPhone exclusively. Indeed, in a break with Apple’s usual practice Vodafone’s deal in Italy isn’t an exclusive, as Telecom Italia will also sell the handset.

The Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) iPhone deals are coming in thick and fast. Days after Vodafone (NYSE: VOD) announced a 10-country deal to carry the iPhone, and Telecom Italia said it too would sell the device in Italy, comes news that Mexico telecoms firm America Movil will bring the device to its Latin American operations later this year, which includes over a dozen countries. Again, like the Vodafone deal, no mention if this is exclusive or not. Bloomberg reports, however, that Apple’s latest agreement won’t have a significant impact on iPhone sales. According to Yankee Group analyst Willy Swain most people in the region who can afford the device already have one—that is an unlocked one.

These operators have agreed to hand over to Apple a percentage of revenue from the use of mobile data services.

SINGAPORE (Thomson Financial) - Singapore Telecommunications Ltd is launching iPhone in September, but the telco has declined to confirm or deny that it has struck a deal with iPhone maker Apple Inc, local broadcaster Channel News Asia reported, citing industry sources. A spokesman from SingTel declined to comment on the report. While Apple is targeting to sell 10 million iPhone units this year in Asia, talks with telcos around the region have dragged since last year over Apple's unprecedented demand that it be given a revenue share from each iPhone sold to mobile phone subscribers. 'The news, if true, is positive for SingTel. Given iPhone's (appeal to consumers), we believe iPhone would lead to higher market share for SingTel. However, the impact on SingTel's bottom line should not be very significant given Apple's hard bargaining tenden

France Telecom (NYSE: FTE), owner of the Orange network, is in talks with Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) to sell the iPhone in other countries, according to the company’s CFO Gervais Pellissier. Dow Jones reports that Pellissier revealed that the discussions were for more than “just two countries.” He also said that France Telecom was “pleased with the success” of the company’s exclusive deal with Apple that has another two and a half years to run—quashing recent rumours that the French group had balked at Apple’s supposed insistence that they slash iPhone prices to boost sales. Pellissier also said that he expected a 3G iPhone to boost sales in France, where Orange has sold over 100,000 of the device.

Apple has released a fourth beta of the iPhone SDK, including an updated iPhone firmware and development tools. The latest beta, build 9M2165, is available via the iPhone DevCenter on the ADC website. According to the release notes, there are two major changes in the latest SDK. The iPhone Simulator now includes support for OpenGL ES, so 3D graphics can be rendered in simulation without having to test them directly on iPhone or iPod touch hardware. Also, code signing is now enforced by the iPhone OS, so you must have a valid certificate installed before compiling. Unsigned code will still run in the iPhone Simulator, however.
