After the much hyped unveiling of the new cellphone in early January, Apple has finally announced its iPhone will be available to the public this summer.
The phone's release date was announced in three advertisements posted on Apple's website on Sunday (June 3) as well as television advertisements. Until now, the company had only revealed that it will go on sale in late June -- and they have now set it for June 29.
After shipping more than 100 million iPods since its release in 2001, Apple hopes to parlay the player's popularity into sales of the iPhone, setting a goal of 10 million sold in 2008.
With a limited supply of the phone at first, a buzz should grow for the new Apple product.
Sunday night's ads showed off several of the gadget's features and ended with the pronouncement that the phone will be available "Only on the new AT&T" and "Coming June 29."
The iPhone sports no keypad, but instead a touch-sensitive screen. Two iPhone models will be available: a $499 version with 4 gigabytes of memory and an 8-gigabyte model for $599. Apple will sell the device with help from AT&T Inc., and it will be available in Europe later this year and in Asia in 2008.
