Apple's hugely popular 3G iPhone made its debut in India on Friday, but with a price of 31-36k, none of the mass hysteria occurred that marked its launch in the United States, Europe and parts of Asia last month.
Local television showed onlookers jostling for a glimpse of the phone at a mall in Gurgaon on the outskirts of the capital while retailers took out advertisements for it on the front pages of some of India's biggest newspapers.
A midnight launch in the Indian capital drew a small but enthusiastic crowd to Airtel, one of the two retail distributors in India, at the city's Connaught Place commercial district.
India is the world's fastest-growing wireless market, and with nearly 300 million subscribers it's the second-largest market for such services after China.
