Canadian 3G iPhone launch date?

iphone_rogers_canada No I don’t know when Rogers will officially introduce the iPhone to salivating Canadian gadget geeks.

For those of you still reading, it’s a fairly safe bet to say Rogers will announce the official launch date on June 9th or sometime shortly thereafter. That’s the date of Apple’s annual worldwide developer conference.

Apparently, the company is set to provide more 3G iPhone release details at that point in time. Apple, as most company followers knows loves to reserve its juiciest tidbits of info for company conferences (or for that matter just about any Tuesday but I digress.)

The launch date is important to those that follow or care about iPhone minutiae because Rogers is expected to the company’s popular handsets that run on so-called 3G networks which carry data at faster speeds.

Anyway, my bet is on the ’shortly thereafter’ part as wee little Canada so often takes a backseat to our much larger industrialized trading partners for the likes of Apple and other companies to attack. I’ll even venture a (revised) guess of November just in time for the holiday season.

Originally, I predicted a launch sometime in Q1 of CY2009. Close counts when it comes to launch prediction dates as well as horseshoes and hand grenades - right?
