iPhone mania in the air


Gizmo lovers are kind of breathless, caught in a situation, full of intense moments of wait ever since news of iPhone hitting India from August 22 was splashed all over the media on Thursday.

AirTel and Vodafone, the official service providers with bundled offers, have been teasing every visitor at their outlets for months now, regardless of the fact that people may be entering stores for paying bills and for other enquiries too.

And at last it’s all official and marketing-wallahs in these telecom companies are gearing up to receive callers. Will the excitement displayed by Hyderabadis really transform into direct sale?

How many of those eager-beavers will actually buy?

With the publicity blitzkrieg and the announcement per se, the countdown has surely begun.

The situation seems to be much like the long wait before the release of a block buster.
