Apple gears up for the rush as iPhone 3G hits shops

CUSTOMERS wanting to buy Apple’s new iPhone 3G will not have to wait long to get their hands on the device because supply is not expected to be a problem.

O2, Apple’s exclusive network carrier in Ireland, will have the device on sale in its retailing outlets from today.

“There is a very strong interest in this particular device and we expect demand to be high,” said O2 spokeswoman Majella Fitzpatrick.
