According to three new Apple ads featured on Apple's Web site, the iPhone is going to be available to buy in US shops on the 29th of June. This is in line with the launch date given by Steve Jobs during the iPhone's unveiling back in January, and puts to rest any rumours about a delay.

The adverts, which are as slick as usual, go over all the iPhone's features, including maps, music, pictures, video, Web browsing and calls, of course. Even though it's over four months since the iPhone was announced, seeing it in action in these new ads has got us all a-tingling.

Unfortunately, us Europeans will have to wait until the end of the year to get our hands on one, so we'll have to be patient. In the meantime though, we can watch these videos over and over again until one of us cracks and moves to America just to buy one.

Many online sources have predicted a rush of US citizens selling off their iPhones on eBay, but we're not sure you're going to want to buy one. It will be locked to AT&T on a two-year contract and there's no word about whether or not you'll be able to unlock it.

Our guess is that it will be available in the UK around September -- and we think it's worth waiting for it. Click through for more images from the ads. -Andrew Lim
