Apple iPhone to be available in 2000 stores on launch

In order to sell the planned 10 million units in 2008, Apple will push its flagship device through more than 2000 stores on launch — to make the iPhone within reach of most U.S. households.

Apple can count on its 160 outlets in the States and the network of 1840 AT&T's wireless boutiques. Furthermore, the Cupertino-based company will also sell the iPhone in such locations like Best Buy, where it operates via store-within-store concept. At the moment, Apple has 50 such stores, and plans to expand that number to 200 to reach more customers.

The bottom line — U.S. citizens will be able to buy an iPhone from a wide number of locations. Now it's just a matter of getting the 500 bucks… (via: AppleInsider)
