NEW YORK -- Apple Inc.'s highly anticipated iPhone will be available June 29, according to TV commercials broadcast Sunday night and a company spokesman.
The combination cellphone, media player and wireless Web-surfing device will retail for $499 and $599, depending on configuration. It will be offered exclusively by AT&T's wireless division, formerly known as Cingular.
The iPhone, which sports no keypad but instead a touch-sensitive screen, was unveiled with great fanfare in early January by Apple chief executive Steve Jobs. He said it would appear in stores in June but gave no specific date.
The ads showed off several of the gadget's features and ended with the pronouncement that it will be available "Only on the new AT&T" and "Coming June 29."
Tom Neumayr, an Apple spokesman, confirmed the June 29 sale date. An AT&T spokesperson did not immediately return a phone call.
