OK, so where is it? There was a great deal of buzz generated yesterday by Mike Abramsky of RBC Capital Markets when he speculated that the launch in Canada would be made public as early as today. There is some credence to be given to Abramsky as he did predict the iPhone price drop several days before it in fact happened.
Sadly, nothing yet.

I feel like a kid at Christmas. And, if it turns out to be wrong, I will pout all day.
From National Post:
Consumers have been waiting for Apple Inc. to release the iPhone in Canada and they may get their wish at this week’s Macworld conference in San Francisco, which kicks off on Monday.
After being forced to buy the popular smartphone in the U.S. or over the internet, then have them unlocked for use at home ever since the iPhone was released on June 29, 2007, these gadget lovers may soon be able to go legit, according to RBC Capital Markets analyst Mike Abramsky. In a note to clients, he said Apple may announce more carriers in places like Canada.
And while he does not expect a 3G iPhone announcement, which he said could come this summer, he did say a 16 gigabyte iPhone is possible.
I feel all tingly.

Very cool! It appears that there are two open source hacks for the iPhone.
From TUAW:
Well despite the fact that some hackers claimed they weren’t working on an open source iPhone unlock, it appears it’s happened anyway. iPhone hackers have released a free software unlock for the iPhone.
Apparently there are two solutions– the one above is part of a script based on ieraser, and the other is called iUnlock (Engadget says that one “appears to be in a more complete state”). We aren’t yet sure what these do– whether they’re an actual unlock, or simply a reverse engineer of the iPhoneSIMfree unlock released the other day.
Yesterday, just 74 days after its introduction on June 29, Apple sold the one millionth iPhone. “One million iPhones in 74 days—it took almost two years to achieve this milestone with iPod,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We can’t wait to get this revolutionary product into the hands of even more customers this holiday season.”
