Apple seems to be preparing to launch its popular iPhone in Korea as it has posted a job opportunity notice on its website (jobs.apple.com) for a Korea iPhone account manager. The account manager would be a full-time employee, who, according to the job description on the site, would "manage the day to day issues of our chosen carrier, ensure healthy relationship and help develop the market."
Some Korean mobile operators are reportedly negotiating with Apple to introduce the iPhone, but negotiations are said to be not proceeding smoothly. For a mobile phone to work in Korea it must use WIPI, Korea's own wireless Internet platform for interoperability. That means if Apple wants to launch the iPhone here it will need to modify relevant software in the device to make it work with WIPI.
