3G iPhone's Asian party poopers!


The iPhone 3G, which Apple is billing as twice as fast and half as expensive as the debut model, will roll out in cities from Tokyo to Sydney coming Friday. The company is betting the new phone's third generation (3G) capabilities, such as faster Internet access and file transfer, will make the phone a hit. Like the first version, the new model also has an iPod built in.

However, will the 3G iPhone be as successful in Asia as it has been in US and Europe? According to analysts, the new iPhone faces several challenges in Asia that it will not have elsewhere.

Here's looking into what all may spoil Apple's party in Asia.
