Apple Choose Cingular To Service IPhone

Well the cat has finally been let out of the bag. Apple announced that they’ve chosen Cingular Wireless to be the exclusive carrier of their new music mobile, the IPhone.

Apple’s Steve Jobs demonstrates the new iPhone at the CES Show, now in progress in Las Vegas.

“Apple chose Cingular because they are the best and most popular carrier in the US,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We are thrilled to be offering our revolutionary new iPhone exclusively with Cingular, and look forward to working together with them to create some wonderful new features for our customers.”

“By partnering with Apple, we are continuing our commitment to raising the bar for customers,” said Stan Sigman, Cingular’s president and CEO. “We think the iPhone is one of the most innovative devices ever created, and we look forward to letting our customers be the first in the world to experience the future of mobile phones.”

The iPhone will be available for sale in June 2007 and will have a cost of $499 for a 4GB model or $599 for an 8GB model.
