AfterDawn reports on a Toronto Star story that Canadian cellco Rogers will be offering the iPhone north of the border before everyone takes off for summer vacation. Citing "industry contacts," the report says that Rogers is targeting a late May-early June touchscreen phone campaign and wants to include the iPhone.

If the newspaper is correct on the timing, it couldn't work out much better for Rogers; Apple is widely believed to be planning to unveil the 3G iPhone at its Worldwide Developer Conference in June.
