Across the seas, we saw some interesting news as well. The iPhone saw a £100($196) drop in price. This is supposedly in preparation of the 3G iPhone. In India, the it was revealed the iPhone is coming to India on Vodafone. While we are talking about foreign lands, we gave you tips on how to take your iPhone with you when you travel abroad

In software news, we saw the release of several promising applications for the iPhone. Including the First VoIP application for the iPhone, Fring. Another sweet applications we saw was Feeds, an RSS reader for the iPhone, that syncs with Google Reader.

Considering by then we’re expecting to have seen the new 3G iPhone, both the price and the timescale don’t quite ring true.  In addition, mocoNews claim you can pick up an unlocked, hacked 8GB iPhone in India for between $450 and $525.  Whether users will be willing to foot the extra $130+ for an official version is doubtful.

India has been the subject of many iPhone rumors, although the country is yet to see significant interest from Apple regarding the handset.  The report also suggests that the 16GB iPhone would, depending on customer takeup, be released there in mid-2009.
