.mobi Can an Iphone device be affordable timely for countries like India/China = 1/3 humans

[satsdifference.com]

People wonder if Dot Mobi's patient pace may be "too late" or "too early" or some of both, non linear..

As a former social worker, frankly, I am concerned about this business consortium's phone production that will bring the masses of the world to internet..

Yes Iphone is hot, in the Western World..

But the top of the corporate pyramid must be eyeing new giant frontiers, like the 1/3 human population living in China and India combined, etc..

Can you imagine the PPC implications for this?

Not many there have been able to afford a computer, so my question is can an IPhone device be affordable timely? Or will the .mobi brand marketed as small web be the cheapest device for the masses' usage first?

Don't count on China, most people here can not even afford an ipod. When I walk on streets in China, you can see many young people have cheap mp3s, but roughly only 1 in 100 who own mp3s have ipods.

Most people here buy phones between $100 to $200 range and the phones are not subsidized by carriers. If the iphone is not required two year contract, i guess it will cost $800 a piece, imho.
