Best Buy, the largest retailer of consumer electronics in the United States and Canada, will soon begin selling the recently launched iPhone 3G across all 970 stores (Source). Well this is good news to all, since there are a lot of issues concerning the supply and demand of iPhone stocks in other parts of the world. Apple is really pushing through with their aim of selling the iPhone at a very low price and providing every household with the latest 3G iphone.

I wonder if the Filipinos will embrace Apple’s goals of providing each and every household with an iPhone, when they made a deal with Globe Telecoms as the direct distributor of iPhone 3G here in the Philippines. Although the subscription plan offered by Globe Telecoms is quite expensive considering the fact that during Steve Job’s revelation of the iPhone 3G, its retail price was supposed to be $199 for 8GB and $299 for 16GB. How can a third world country such as the Philippines afford a very expensive iPhone if the price is too high?
