With all the shortages we have been seeing with the iPhone 3G so far, its hard to imagine finalized launch plans for 20 more countries. It seems like it will just make the situation a little worse.

However, during the recent quarterly conference call, Apple officially announced that they have set a next release date of August 22. Of course, those lucky 20 countries still remain a mystery because as of now Apple has not announced which of the remaining 50 will be the lucky ones.

Let’s just hope that these 20 countries will have a little better launch day and not see the same iTunes related issues that we saw back on July 11.

Apple COO Tim Cook also went on to state that “Apple expects to sell more iPhones in the quarter ending September 30 than in any quarter since the phone’s June 2007 launch.” They are also still confident of hitting the 10 million mark by the end of 2008.
