Since the release of the new iPhone, 3G S, Apple has sold more than a million devices in its first weekend in United States itself. iPhone 3G S was released on 19th of June in U.S and major European countries. One million sales was not a surprise to most of Apple fans and admirers, including myself.

However, what surprised me was the fact that the new iPhone, 3G S, was not released in any major Islamic country, including Dubai, UAE. Dubai is one of the most technologically developed cities in the world, no to mention its growing IT sector. The only version of iPhone available in Islamic countries is the iPhone 3G. It is available in Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates, Qatar is still waiting for iPhone 3G. To see the list of countries that iPhone 3G/3G S is offered please click here.

Back in 1970, the American Army Gen. William Westmoreland is reported to have said: “On the battlefield of the future, enemy forces will be located, tracked and targeted almost instantaneously through the use of data links, computer-assisted intelligence and automated fire control. … I am confident the American people expect this country to take full advantage of its technology-to welcome and applaud the developments that will replace wherever possible the man with the machine.” It seems that this vision from the 1970s is being realized today. One manifestation of it is the development and deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles by many nations, including Pakistan.
