Apple iPhone, already sold out for some time at AT&T stores, is now sold old at all Apple Retail Stores according to Apple’s online “iPhone at the Apple Retail Store” locator.
Only one Apple Retail Store has at least one iPhone in stock:
• Apple Store Shadyside: 5508 Walnut Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
The online Apple Store lists iPhone with a shipping time of ” 2 – 4 weeks.”

I ordered two Friday night while I was overseas, and received notification they shipped this morning, so apparently, the production machine has moved back into something approaching just-in-time mode.
Hey all you Mac blowhards time to face facts: The factory that makes the iPhone also makes the marvelous Zune. They only made about 100 iPhones when they shut down that production line to put workers on the Zune line to meet demand.
I can barely make my way through Office Max to check out the latest anti-virus software with the masses crowded around the Zune display. Microsoft, you have a winner. Great job!
Apple lemmings, there’s a little something called competing on merit in the marketplace, and the Zune is a clear demonstration of Microsoft’s prowess in this area. Apple’s copycat iPhone is no match for the innovation or quality packed into every Zune. I say get an original. Get a Zune.
Your potential. Our passion.™
Last night, only 29 out of 164 had stock and – no disrespect intended -apart from the five New York stores, most of the other twenty four were locations where I wouldn’t necessarily expect clearance anyway probably because I don’t imagine that they’re blessed with pervasive network coverage.
For the record, if Apple have already broken the one million mark then they have broken the record which was set by either the mini or the nano (I forget which) which did that number in 17 days. This achievement is far more impressive in any case simply because of the cost of the unit.
Bought my iPhone and I love it! WAY better than the crappy Zune!!!!
Meanwhile, the next FUD tactic – “My iPhone broke” – has arrived with the first such story on the MSNBC site.
The actual story is simple and to be expected with any new product – writer’s iPhone stops working, and after a few calls, he gets it replaced.
But he has spun it into a lengthy piece that makes it sound as though Armageddon has arrived.
Zune Tang,
I’m LMAO … great satire!
I bought my iPhone in Dallas at the Northpark store on Tuesday at about 3:30 pm. The store was busy, but the line only took about 5 minutes. Chatting with the sales guy he said that it was a good thing that I had gotten there before 5 pm, because if Monday had been any indicator of what Tuesday evening would be like, from 5pm until close the store would be packed and the line to buy about 45 minutes to an hour long. Their stock of iPhones was down to a few hundred for the 4 GB model, and just a few dozen for the 8 GB unit (I bought an 8 GB unit). They had shipments coming in every day, but those shipments were getting smaller despite the fact that they kept selling out of 8 GB units earlier and earlier every day, at which time people then buy the 4 GB units (I suppose some people are saying that a 4 GB unit is better than none).
so this means we’re likely north of 1 million, in five days.
according to my tea leaves (a methodology secretly used by 4 out of 5 analysts):
by Aug 1st: 3 million
by Oct 1st: 8 million
by Dec 31st: 20 milion
naturally, any with more sophisticated means of prognostication is most welcome to chime in.
Here’s where you can share your Zune fanaticism with like-minded outpatients:

There’s some real funny stuff on some of these sites.

It’s 7:45 am. I’m sitting in front of the Tigard, OR (Brideport village) store. Online it says they have iPhones here, but there is a sign in the front of the store that says “Sorry, no iPhones today… There’s an error somewhere and I’m getting a little pissed…
woops on that link. If you care…
I suck try this…
K Shaw: Wow. That’s a nicely made sign. Obviously this was anticipated.

That was the best line you have ever written. =)

P.S. – HAMMER
This is the start of the downhill slide for Apple. With limited iPhones, the masses will have to look elsewhere for thier phone needs. Microsoft’s CEO will point out that there are cheaper phones running software, and all of Apple’s would-be customers will flock to some motorola phone….
Apple was SO close, but now people will move on to something else
or not..

Linksys sells an iPhone. And it’s soooo close to being useful. I hope some poor sap doesn’t confuse the two.
Well, not all AT&T stores are sold out. Got my iPhone yesterday in Valdosta, GA. I bet AT&T stores in other out-of-the-way places still have stock.
First… @Awesome I will trade you a Pizza for your eMate.
Second…I am a bit surprised we haven’t heard an official number sold yet. I have a sell at 135 so I have a interest. (and no I am not selling all of it

Third…Everyone that has seen me use it has one of three reactions a) I want one of those
b) Is it worth the money?
c) Oh its an iPhone (usually trying to sound bored when they say it.)
Point is, how many people don’t know about it?
Enjoy
UPDATE: The manager came out and let us buy one each from the secret “back stock” apparently only for customer returns. He said he felt bad for the misrepresentation. Way to go Apple on exceeding our expectations again! Yay iPhone!
OK, now the negative spin from the FUDsters will be that Apple planned badly by not having ENOUGH iPhones available at launch. Therefore, potential customers will be ticked off and the iPhone will fail to become a long-term success.
Well, uh, not so much. I was in Mayfair Mall in Milwaukee about two hours ago, and several people walked out with iPhones.
