Apple's new iPhone 3G is ready for the Muslim and Arabic speaking world even though it isn't available in those countries yet.

A US-based website in Arabic and English has already developed Islamic-themed software for the new iPhone. This includes providing Muslim prayer timings as well as the iQuran [software that allows you to read the Koran or the Muslim holy book on the iPhone], as well as the iMoon, which will provide the approximate moon phases for any given date - information that can be useful during Ramadan or the Muslim fasting month.

The latest version of the iPhone went on sale on Friday in 24 countries, but is not yet available in the Arabic speaking world, according to Apple's website. The American company said that the new version of the iPhone will be available in Jordan, Egypt and Qatar soon.

#3  Isn't the technology in the iPhone considered sensitive and thus restricted as to what countries it can be exported to?
