Canada to get only 10 or 20 iPhone 3G phones per store, incurs wrath of Jobs

Steve Jobs is mad. He’s mad at Canada. Not at the Canadians in particular. but to Canadian telcos who are described to have the most horrid data plans, it makes the whole thing disgusting. Tris from Maple Leaf 2.0 has A LOT to say about this.
The 6 Apple Stores in Canada will demo the iPhone 3G but will not sell them. But this isn’t what’s appalling – Steve Jobs is diverting shipments of iPhone 3G to Europe. Rogers tries to defend their stand:
Rogers has historically been criticized for being the most reluctant of Canadian providers to decrease its data fees. A year ago, the company’s pricing for 500MB of data would have cost $295 per month, while Bell and Telus shortly afterwards began dropping the cost of data to where unlimited browsing would cost as little as $7 per month on Bell’s HTC Touch. Rogers has since responded by offering its own $7 plan for any device but limits it only to the default web browser.
Sir/Madam,
I want to buy goods from your company but my only means of payment now is by cheque, so i want to know if you accept Cheque as a means of payment before I make my purchase.
i wait for your responds, i will pay you money by Cheque.
