I think the iPhone is actually picking up speed, despite Antennagate and all (iPhone 4 + iOS 4.0 was quite a buggy combination, in my mind). Apple sold a record 14.1 million iPhones last quarter and still couldn't meet demand: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/10/18/notes_of_interest_from_apples_q4_2010_conference_call.html At least here in Germany, you still have to wait a couple of weeks before you get your iPhone from T-Mobile (right after launch, it was 9 weeks). It also seems that Apple goes for market share in mobile phones - next week, T-Mobile Germany loses exclusivity, and at least Vodafone and possibly O2 will sell the iPhone. There a also rather concrete rumors that Verizon will sell a CDMA iPhone early 2011 (remember, it took dozens of Android models on all four US carriers to finally gain 35% market share in new smartphones sold in the last June quarter - Apple got 25% with just two models on one carrier) and that this CDMA iPhone may also be sold in China and India. Finally, the about 120 million iOS devices also includes iPod Touch (estimated at 35% of that number) and the iPad (7 million sold so far). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
