Today, the 3G iPhone was announced at WWDC (Apple Worldwide Developers Conference).  With this announcement, comes word that the iPhone will be making it’s debut in Japan on July 11th with mobile carrier Softbank. Click here for Softbank’s press release.

One of the most surprising announcements is the next gen iPhone’s price drop.  The 8 gig model will sell for $199.  I’m hoping the price will translate accordingly here in Japan.  As of this post, there is no price listed on Apple’s Japanese site, but ¥19900 for an iPhone sounds wonderful!
