Post iPhone insanity

by David Spark on July 3, 2007

OK, here’s a wrap up of some of the news events connected to the iPhone.

Match the analyst with their estimation of how many iPhones were sold over the weekend:

A: 250,000 David Bailey, Goldman Sachs
B: 312,000 Gene Munster, Piper Jaffray
C: 500,000 Bill Shope, J.P. Morgan Securities
D: 700,000 Shaw Wu, American Technology Research

ANSWERS:

A: Who gives a shit?

B: This guy’s getting six figures to generate a random number?

C: That sounds about right, let’s say he’s right.

D: Bigger is always better.

Are there any left in stock? Appears that 2/3rds of the stores still have phones still in stock. But they’re sold out in San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Not a surprise. Supposedly there are still some units available in Los Angeles.

The face of Microsoft goes Apple? Ironically, the person they photographed on the front of the San Jose Mercury as being the poster child for the new iPhone owner was none other than former Microsoft blogger himself, Robert Scoble.
