I wonder if Apple anticipated the seemingly large divide between demand for the 8GB and the 4GB.]]>Jul 3rd 2007 4:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/Jul 3rd 2007 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/
Ummmmm... I agree with you. I think people should just shut up if they don't like the iPhone posts and deal with it.

Hence the "cue the "anti-iphone" flurry" in my post]]>Jul 3rd 2007 5:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/
but i have deleted its box off my google homepage because i really have had enough of iPhones]]>Jul 3rd 2007 7:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/
That was directed at you, but I completely missed the "cue the..." part. My sincerest apologizes.]]>Jul 3rd 2007 7:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/
So I am guessing this att store (vallejo, ca), got in a new shipment and this guy took a phone for himself... Thats what it looked like to me anyway.]]>Jul 3rd 2007 4:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/Jul 3rd 2007 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/Jul 3rd 2007 11:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/Jul 3rd 2007 5:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/Jul 3rd 2007 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/
I didn't want an iPhone but I do think Apple did a great job of making sure everyone who wanted one ASAP on launch could get one. No tales of people getting mugged in the parking lot because supply was short. And I found it especially funny all the eBay sharks left holding the bag, er, iPhone.

Even though I am don't own anything made by Apple (and don't plan to), I still say well done for the way the whole thing was handled. Apple fans should be proud.]]>Jul 3rd 2007 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/Jul 3rd 2007 5:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/

Yes. I metaphorically compared you to a dog's ass-hair.

Why is there such a wide gap in the amount of iPhones sold? Because one analyst had eaten figs, another took some laxative, another had a Wendy's triple, another was training for the hot dog eating contest.

These guys take their turd count then run to their office and then put lots of random numerical data on a huge spreadsheet with charts and everything to show their bosses and explain how they came up with the figures using a mathematical formula they learned in their ivy league college.

So all these figures mean is that each of these analysts are either partially or totalled filled with crap. When the final count comes from Apple, those analysts that missed the count by 200,000 should be fired on the spot.]]>Jul 3rd 2007 8:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/
How many times have you been to buy shoes and they don't have you size, and the salesperson is like "Well they have some at the blank-blank store. Would you like to go get them or have me get it transferred here?"

I mean, car dealerships do it, department stores do it.... why couldn't Apple??

PLEEEEEEEEEEZE... Can't somebody write one of these articles and fully disclose exactly what the stat is that they are reporting??????]]>Jul 3rd 2007 7:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/Jul 3rd 2007 7:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/Jul 3rd 2007 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/Jul 3rd 2007 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/Jul 3rd 2007 8:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/

Not too shabby. Unless they actually run out of iPhones, as in not having PRODUCED enough, I don't think the lack of stock should be too much trouble.]]>Jul 3rd 2007 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/Jul 3rd 2007 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/Jul 3rd 2007 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/On the other hand, most women I know don't play video games. Most older people I know don't play video games. Even a lot of guys within the age demographic that are most likely to play video games don't play video games. There is a much smaller market for that type of thing. That's why the Wii is a success, because they aren't marketing solely to the bloody first person shooter crowd. There's still really no reason for most people to go HD either.
So, Apple has a much better shot at it, even if the phone is ridiculously priced. There really isn't a comparison between something that almost everyone uses and something that relatively few people use. ]]>Jul 3rd 2007 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/
...at least that is what the internet said about the PS3.]]>Jul 3rd 2007 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/
My local Apple store in Clarendon (which is a district of Arlington Virginia, which in turn is in spitting distance of Washington DC) had iphones until yesterday. When I checked this morning, Apple's website said they were sold out.

Cue me going in at lunch today to fiddle around with one some more. Salesperson walks over and asks if he can help anyone, to which I reponded with "you don't even have have any to sell right now, do you?" To which he responded: "as of half an hour ago, we do."

So at least in my experience, Apple seems to be doing a good job of replenishing the shelves.

Did anyone really expect a total sell out? Jobs wouldn't promise 3 million being sold without having something to back it up.

FYI: After talking with the salesperson, I immediately left before I reached for my credit card and did something stupid. ]]>Jul 3rd 2007 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/Jul 3rd 2007 7:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/
My point is that at $500 and $600, there are only so many people that are going to buy the phone. This is true of any product, be it phones, cars or videogame consoles. I think both products are elite products and will only sell a certain amount at that price range. When they burn through those clients, it gets harder to sell'em at that price point. ]]>Jul 3rd 2007 8:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/Jul 4th 2007 6:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/Jul 4th 2007 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/03/can-apple-meet-iphone-demand/
