Start counting again - I suggest starting in Newfoundland as the day starts earlier there so you will have a 29.5 hour day.

“Canada: If we have any in the back, we’ll send them to you.”

Seriously, if he got 1% of all Canadians to buy an iPhone, he'd have 400,000 subscribers. That isn't even one third as many people as they got in the first few weeks in the USA. I doubt he will make a big announcement at MacWorld about bringing the phone to Canada. People in the US will yawn. I still think it won't be until 2009 that we see the iPhone up for grabs from Rogers. Unless you have details from inside Rogers that include an agreement with Apple (finally).

Many people have received "confirmation" in the passed so who knows if it's true. Apparently Ted Rogers wanted to wait for the 3G version.
