The iPhone from Apple Inc. has now been launched in India. However, because of the expensive price of iPhone in the country, it deterred so many customers who wish to get their hands and own the latest and hottest smartphone.

When the iPhone was launched in New Delhi, only a few people fell in line to be the first ones to have the second-generation iPhone. The line includes a high school student from the country who said that he wants to boast and show off the 3G iPhone in school. There is also an entrepreneur who fell in line and bought at least six iPhones, one for him and five for his friends.

The second-generation iPhone




was launched in India during midnight. When it is already day time, several customers were seen. Abishek Jain, an executive is one of them. He also went to the store in New Delhi just to buy himself an iPhone. Abishek Jain said that he was impressed with the device. Not only that it is a mobile phone but an entertainment player and a web browser at the same time. He thinks that no other phone can match the iPhone.

However, there was no sign of mobile phone fanatics or iPhone anticipators queuing for hours. Aside from that, there is no craze that has been witnessed when the second-generation iPhone had its debut in Asian and European countries last July.
