SINGAPORE, Aug 4 - Singapore Telecommunications Ltd
<STEL.SI>, Southeast Asia's largest telecoms firm, will
launch Apple Inc's <AAPL.O> third-generation iPhone in
Singapore before the end of August, a source familiar with the
matter told Reuters.
SingTel <SGT.AX>, the city-state's largest listed company,
said in June it would offer the iPhone, but did not provide a date
for the release.
"SingTel should be launching the 3G iPhone in Singapore before
the end of the month," said the source, who spoke on condition of
anonymity.
In July, Apple rolled out the new iPhone, which offers faster
Internet access and improved e-mail features, in more than 20
countries.
The company plans to launch it in 20 more countries on Aug. 22.
It has set a target of selling 10 million iPhones this year.
