iPhone to be Available from June?

Apple's much hyped iPhone may be available for US consumers as early as June 11 this year. The date coincides with Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference from June 11 through June 15. While the UK launch date is yet to be confirmed, analysts expect the touchscreen mobile to cross the Atlantic by November 2007.
When Cnet's Declan McCullagh called cellular carrier, Cingular, he was informed by a customer service manager, that the iPhone would be released on June 11, to US customers.

This is the first time a confirmed date has been revealed after Steve Job indicated at January's Macworld Expo that the iPhone will be released sometime in June this year.
However, Asians may have to wait till 2008, to get our hands on the iPhone.

The information could have been a slip up by Cingular but when asked for a confirmation on the release date Apple chose to play it silent.
