Taiwan hit by iPhone craze

The country with the highest excitement level about the iPhone isnot the US, according to InfoWorld, but Taiwan.

"The surest sign marketing hype surrounding Apple's iPhone has outdone itself is that a small island on the Pacific rim is abuzz over the device, despite the fact it won't be on sale here until next year at the earliest.

Part of the reason for the excitement is the number of technology savvy users in Taiwan who want to get their hands on one. And Internet auction sites are getting ready to sell them.

Most of the sellers are up-front about the fact users may not be able to use the iPhone for phone calls in Taiwan, for now. "You may only be able to use the camera and music player function of the iPhone," writes one seller."
