Video of the week: Google Earth + iPhone = iPhone Earth?

It's things like these that appear to me as the devil himself.

BREAKING: It's official - Globe Telecom is the official carrier of iPhone in the Philippines

Globe Telecom will be the first official carrier of the Apple iPhone in the Philippines, according to various sources around the Internet. Globe Telecom will offer the Apple iPhone in the Philippines along with a few other Asian carriers for the very first time as soon as September, according to sources.

Singapore Telecommunications Ltd. is actually the one who got exclusive rights to market Apple's iPhone here in Asia, but because Globe Telecom is one of its mobile associates, the Philippines can get in on the cake.

And also according to a one-sentence statement released by Globe Telecom Today,

"Globe, SingTel, Bharti Airtel and Optus today announced that they have signed an agreement with Apple to bring the iPhone to the Philippines, Singapore, India, and Australia later this year."

They say more information will be released at a later date. But that's all fine, and what's important is that the Philippines will now get official Apple iPhone support! Rejoice!
