Japan's third network operator, Softbank, and Apple have signed a contract of cooperation, which includes a possibility for launching iPhone in Softbank's offer. The laconic announcement didn't reveal details about what kind of iPhone is going to be sold by Softbank. It's important to know that Softbank is a 3G network provider, so the GPRS- and EDGE-capable current iPhone is a no-go. Based on these Softbank's announcement refers to iPhone 3G's launch this year, but neither Aplle, nor Softbank have revealed any details.
