1 million inquiries for iPhone, AT&T says

San Antonio -- AT&T Mobility LLC has received more than 1 million inquiries for Apple Inc.'s multimedia and Web-enabled iPhone cell phone, the San Antonio company said.

Two versions of the iPhone -- a 4-gigabyte version selling for $499 and an 8-gigabyte model for $599 -- will be launched June 29, advertisements posted on Apple's Web site said.

The phone will be sold through Apple Store locations and through AT&T, the largest U.S. cell-phone service, formerly named Cingular Wireless LLC, said Apple, of Cupertino, Calif.

The phone features a touch-screen display with a virtual keyboard and buttons instead of a physical keyboard. It will be available in Europe in a few months and in Asia in 2008, Apple said.
