Excuse me, but where’s the news?
No kidding!
No article on this one?
Hehe. Just what I was thinking. Must be Yahoo news feed
Court: “Apple, how many iPads have you sold to date?”
Apple: “All of them, your Honor.”
Court: “Samsung, how many iPads have you sold to date?”
Samsung: “We wish we could sell more, but Apple always butts-in.”
In Australia it’d be…
Apple: “All of them, your Honour.”
Judge: Samsung, how many iPads have you sold?
Samsung: They’re not iPads they are Tabs!!
Judge: Whatever.
So, fair’s fair, will Samsung have to reveal their sales?
Actually, it was Samsung, not Apple who announced they would no longer publish their mobile devices sales.
So I can not understand where are the news in the headline. Apple never made no secret of iPad sales; they publish it each quarter or even often (on a keynote speeches).
Apple does not break down sales by country. The judge may want numbers sold in Oz.
Doesn’t take long to count to zero.
The original press story specifically pointed out that the judge said samsung did not request the data from apple. Now it is being twisted. Samsung and the WS shysters do not want this. WS, is afraid they will lose control of manipulating the pps of apple and samsung is afraid that it will lead to even less sales. Today, the cohorts in the press of these respectable and esteemed gentlemen of WS, are already saturating the news with – waves ofcheap tablets are coming. All to mitigate apple announcing 20 million in sales of iPads. The mantra will be, the wave of cheap tablets will bring down sales of iPad and reduce margins to the point apple will make nothing from iPad sales.
I hate to spoil a good conspiracy theory, but it doesn’t take a web of nefarious WS greed merchants for the press to report anything. 1st: the press are typified by lazy idiots; 2nd: every tablet maker Google RIM MS would gladly produce a story that would cause consumers to delay or second-guess an iPad purchase. It is a PR war, not WS intrigue.
Dear Judge Annabelle, you are not making any sense. No short term sales data can show the effect of competitor’s product, unless the first one is a lousy product (which iPad is not) and the second is a killer superior product (which Galaxy is not). It may take years to erode the first product’s sales. Case in study: slow death of RIM phones since introduction of vastly superior iPhone – you could not tell that after first year and you could still argue after 2nd year.
