Sensis Developing iPhone Apps, But Telstra Still Not Confirmed as Carrier

Australian Post Posted by Nathan Taylor at 11:50 AM on March 17, 2008

iphonesdka351.jpgIn spite of the fact that we don't even know when the iPhone will hit our shores, Telstra's Sensis has already started development of iPhone applications. It has been advertising for iPhone developers across several sites.

This has naturally led to speculation that Telstra will be Apple's partner for the Australian launch of the iPhone, but Sensis is still saying it doesn't know who the iPhone carrier will be, and that it will want to work with the iPhone irrespective of who has it. [SMH]

Ok, if they (Telsta) get the iphone over vodafone or Optus I'm going to Thailand to get a second hand one.

I was just in a telstra shop and was told telstra is currently testing the iphone on the network to make sure it works…

"Sensis has already started development of iPhone applications" -- sure they have!!

They were only (maybe) looking for a BA so how that ended up being already started I don't know...

Where exactly did you people all buy iphones from that cheaply in the states?...

I want one but don't really want to pay the kind of money they are on ebay.
