Hundreds of people who were eager to get their hands on their very own Apple iPhones turned out at midnight for the launch in Cologne, Germany, despite heavy rain and cold weather.

There’s no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance, It’s a $500 subsidized item. They may make a lot of money. But if you actually take a look at the 1.3 billion phones that get sold, I’d prefer to have our software in 60% or 70% or 80% of them, than I would to have 2% or 3%, which is what Apple might get
Seriously, Steve B, the joke is tired.
Anyhow, the media on those german photos are showing the iPhone (box) upside down again. Is it too difficult to figure out?
of people in the media to cover the event.
I saw no cold weather pics.

They must all think it’s Microsoft Windows Media phone, ’cause everybody love M$
Bravo Apple, Now permit T-Mobile Contracts here in the U.S.
If it’s allowed there, then why not Here?
I’m not a fan of AT&T;yet since T-mobile has bet great for me. If iPhone would of been available in T-M then my MOTO RAZR would become my desktop paper weight

The only question now is if I’m supposed to order a case from Vaja or Sena…
Hey they got a couple of Uber babes in some of those pics…

Those pictures were meant for Oz.
You know, I had to look up what asinine meant, and, um, yeah…
Okay, the translated comments are pure comedy gold. Peep this:
I know that I really one of the lantern. This would lead me but not to push me in the pouring rain in front of a T-Punkt footing. Oh shit … I call me a taxi and I live

” I would to have 2% or 3%, which is what Apple might “
And of the 1.3 billion phones that get sold a year, Apple, if it keeps up it’s current rate of sales has been running at 0.3% of the market.
Sounds like Ballmer was being generous based on performance to date.

Actually, when a stock is predicted to go up, up, up… going DOWN, DOWN, DOWN is more news than going up.
