You make it sound like Apple doesn't want to launch it internationally, but that doesn't make sense to me.
No, I'm saying that Apple, being a pretty good performer when it comes to internationalization (at least in comparision to other American IT companies) would love to launch internationally, but has chosen a product that doesn't at all lend itself to such a thing.
Hence... "bad luck" for non-American non-Cingular customers.
Other regions will have to wait over a year, if not more, to purchase one of these things. (A year being an eternity in the world of mobile phones.) As for developing applications for this thing, API or no API, again, international development??
