With Apple’s China-bound iPhone aspirations reportedly on the ropes (or not, depending on who you talk to), it makes sense for Apple to look to other Asian markets that might do well to launch an iPhone.
Well, Apple could very well be looking to the Thailand as the next mobile market to get blessed with the iPhone’s graces. Thai telecom Advanced Info Service (AIS) is reportedly in talks with Apple. Assistant marketing VP, Prattana Leelapanang, confirmed yesterday that his company is negotiating the revenue-sharing model that has been rumored to be a point of contention in China.
Now, Thailand isn’t the biggest of mobile markets, especially compared to China. But, it doesn’t hurt to spread the iPhone-seed around the globe. We just hope Asia gets the iPhone before the 3G iPhone launches.
