  1. @Macintosh: “Just wait until iPhone 4 is on more carries!! Bloodbath.”

    The only carrier limitation is in the US. I agree that’s not good, but there is huge potential for sales growth internationally (China, Japan, Europe). Bloodbath will happen regardless of when VZW is brought on board. The only question is how deep the bloodbath will be. Without VZW, bloodbath will be a mile deep. With VZW, it will be a mile and ten feet deep.

    And who knows? Maybe AT&T;will actually get their shit togethHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (I knew I couldn’t say that with a straight face.)

  2. @MDN: I know there’s comic value in “analysts” pieces, but seriously, these *uckers know less than the average Zune owner (yes, all three of them) and I just don’t effin’ care what they think as it’s always wrong, and just like politicians, they blow with the wind, and young interns.

  3. Yeah, let’s move on from “bloodbath” to something new. After all, it’s not a bloodbath for Apple, its employees, its shareholders, or its fans/customers – just Apple’s competition.

  4. Just a bunch of wild accusations… Of course we need to get things started so we can crash the stock price when it comes up 50 iPhones short of 9 million.

    We can’t just be amazed that it sold that many, a product that 98.9% of people haven’t even seen in person yet. That in itself is amazing and these blood sucking lawyer-like money grubbers should all be ashamed.

    Pi has spoken.

  5. Yes… when you sell 600,000 + in pre-orders and probably another 400,00 another 2 weeks after that, along with 2 million iPads per month and however many iPod Touch per month…. some juicy numbers out there…
