Math on iPhones Just Doesn't Add Up?
Tech Dirt is reporting that recently announced numbers by Apple and AT&T suggest that there is a large gap (1.7 million) between the number of iPhones being sold and those being activated. Taking into account factors like the iPhone launching outside the US and a 20% estimate of people buying the iPhone just for the purposes of unlocking, there are still 700,000 iPhones unaccounted for. "[...] suggesting that they're sitting on store shelves, piling up as unsold inventory. That number suggests at least some gap between perceived demand and actual demand -- while also raising questions about how much effort it will take to eat through that inventory."
darn it! again with the iPhone this and iPhone that! the other day the news was about how they could take your laptop and phones for search etc. but nooo, it has be "iPhone"... apple must been very nice to slashdot lately... or should we start to say $la$hdot? These "stories" are obviously commercial for "iPhone" Enough iPhone already!
That averages out to less than two apiece.
Knowledge is how to play a game, intelligence is how to win, wisdom is knowing what game to play.
