Vodafone + iPhone...

I wonder whether there's a deeper story behind Vodafone's remarkably terse announcement this morning that it's going to be selling iPhones in 10 of its national markets.

There is no quote from either Jobs or Sarin - just two abrupt sentences. As I'm writing this (9am in London), the release isn't up on Apple's own site either. No details on pricing, contract length, how Voda will work with (or around) iTunes...

.... and even more importantly, no indication whether "the iPhone" might be a new 3G version.
