It has been reported that Apple is agreeing to allow Telecom Italia Mobile sell unlocked iPhones without the typically mandatory two-year contract. This move is expected to be much more appreciated by Italian iPhone users who are among the largest number of prepaid service plan users. The unlocked iPhone will also be usable with other carriers besides Telecom Italia. TIM will however still retain the right to sell the iPhone exclusively for the first six months after its release. This is expected to catapult the iPhone in Italy but the cost will be much more expensive due to the agreement.

Walt Mossberg, Wall Street Journal gadget reviewer reported last week at the Bleep.TV Executive Summit in Washington that Apple will definitely release the much anticipated 3G iPhone in just sixty more days. This makes the launch date for this already highly popular iPhone to be set in June, which has already previously been noted as the expected launch date. The WWDC 08 begins on June 9 and the anticipated iPhone 2.0 software as well as the SDK launch is expected in June as well. With the expected launch of the new 3G iPhone also planned to take place in June, consumers can expect quite a splash of activity from Apple over the next few weeks.
