Apple to release 8Gb model in India

Reports suggests that Apple will enter India's exploding mobile phone market this september with the humble 8GB model with an unreasonably high price tag of around Rs 28000.

With iPhone prices being slashed in European and American market, its likely that within weeks iPhone would be available for Rs 16000 or so in the sprouting iPhone gray market in India.

iPhone official release in India might actually increase the gray market sales, for consumers won't see any point in spending almost twice as much money for a legal model which is no different than the unlocked ones. Only difference being that they won't be able to upgrade their phone's software.

One might think, 'Why the hell would I wan't to upgarde my iPhone's software? I never had to do it for my Nokia or any other phone I ever had'.
