Imagion being Vodafony and bending over Apple...

What do you get after you've been initially big mouthing Steve at the launch of the iPhone, claiming you know it all for you have been in the GSM cloud business so long?

You get the left overs, the 2G countries, like: Australia, the Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Italy, India, Portugal, New Zealand, South Africa and Turkey. And those you get not even exclusively, muwaa!!!

Being able to offload 2G handsets into secondary markets will be very useful for Apple if they do launch a 3G version of the iPhone as generally expected.

Now, Arun Sarin has been labeled strange and basically clueless before. Being out of touch with reality really scares the shiit out of people working in his company but who know, now that he found the way in to Apple's $ stream, maybe the good people working at Vodafone will get a break and develop something nice. Maybe. Then again it is more likely the big shot sees no need for cool iPhone apps and will be happy with the pennies and cents he is allowed to keep for the devices he sells, business like usual.
