iPhone Expanding to Italy, Spain, and Switzerland?

iPhone Expanding European Presence?

While Americans have been lovingly showing off their iPhones since the end of June of last year, Apple fans in Germany, France, and the United Kingdom were only recently given the opportunity to buy their phones this past November. The rest of Europe is still (officially) out of luck. Now, though, it looks as though that's finally about to change, with talk of other members of the European Union finally going getting official iPhone releases later this month.

Rumor has it that Telefonica in Spain will be announcing its support for the device at the 3GSM Mobile World Congress in Barcelona later this month. Also, word has it that Swisscom will start selling in Switzerland on February 2 and that Telcom Italia Mobile will cover Italy this year as well.

Again, these are all rumors, but with U.S. demand for the iPhone seeming to wane, Apple would do well to start expanding while there's still interest out there.
