Apple and AT&T ought to be collecting email addresses and Zip Code information from people planning to buy iPhone 3G on launch day. This will help them figure out how much load they are likely to face at various stores on day 1. They should …

Apple came last in GP rankings because of their contempt and the PR negativity that resulted was entirely avoidable. GP's challenge to iPhone 1.0 was a large, negative unnecessary stumble by Apple's smooth PR team. GP picks high-profile targets for …

JeffDM and Dlux, The iPhone is a phone first and needs good signal strength. I agree with you that Greenpeace may be complaining about the wrong thing when it comes to aluminum casings on iPhone but dismissing them in the way you just have is exac…

Many Apple employees have 3G iPhones. I suspect that some of them have slightly different phones than others, either in terms of hardware specs or software capabilities installed. Apple wouldn't want anyone to see a surprise feature before they show…

The only people who have customer-ready, complete 2nd Generation demonstration iPhones this weekend are Mr. David Pogue of the New York Times and Mr. Walter S. Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal. They both have a heap of legal documents from Apple…

It really makes no difference to Apple if they sell iPhones or not. They haven't been recognizing any revenue on iPhone sales since March 6th and their numbers still blew forecasts out of the water.

I made a post a couple of days ago predicting that it was almost obvious the iPhone would sell out in the UK after the price cut. Price arbitrage is a very simple concept and the market re-aligns nearly instantly. http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008…

Gene Munster and Toni Sacconaghi continuously discount the role of international demand in iPhone sales. They do this primarily because they have a very America-centric view of the world in which this 5% tail wags the dog. Not in cell phones. Th…
