You can blame it on pricing, or marketing, or sense of style, but the real reason why Apple’s iPhone sells very poorly in some countries like India is because of wireless networking. Rich applications like those running on iPhone require a healthy amount network bandwidth to be useful, and some local network infrastructure just can’t offer high enough performance.

An Eastern European pack of cyber thieves known as the Rove group hijacked at least four million computers in over 100 countries, including at least half a million computers in the U.S., to make off with $14 million in “illegitimate income” before they were caught, federal officials announced today.
The malware allegedly used in the “massive and sophisticated scheme” also managed to infect computers in U.S. government agencies including NASA and targeted the websites for major institutions like iTunes, Netflix and the IRS — forcing users attempting to get to those sites to different websites entirely, according to a federal indictment unsealed in New York today.
The accused hackers, six Estonian nationals and a Russian national, rerouted the internet traffic illegally on the infected computers for the last four years in order to reap profits from internet advertisement deals, the indictment said. The FBI busted up the alleged international cyber ring after a two-year investigation called Operation Ghost Click.
