this guy probably shorted apple and is freakin out and doing everything he can to get the stock down. How pethetic of an article. I'm almost embarrassed to be asian right now, but hey, there's always one bad apple in the bunch :)
this guy is an idiot, the iphone doesn't cost 199, it cost around 500. ATT makes up the difference, I'm sure the author knows this but just want to lead people down the wrong path. On his 4th point about 90% of US already have a wireless account which = no growth in this mind. Are you kidding me, just because someone has a cell phone account doesn't mean he or she doesn't want an Iphone. Practically everyone already has a cell phone account, so what, cell phone makers should just stop making phone ? what does cell phone and wireless account have to do with each other. Phones break, people want an upgrade or they just fancy new phones. Should all car makers stop making cars since everyone who can drive already owns a car. This guy is a freakin joke.

Hi, are you kidding me that iPhone is only an american phenom. Have you travle outside of the US. Have you been to asia, especially China. I personally have filled orders for over 1,000 first gen iphone and they are still coming in for 3G orders to be filled. there's an estimated 700k iphone in china with price tag of over 700 dollars. What do you think is going to happen once apple start selling there at a price less then 700. Are you for real, Joel.

i agree with the previous post, the only other carrier in US that Iphone will work on is tmobile. I've had tmobile before and the reception is crap around my house but that's only my opinion. If it doesn't make a whole lot of difference, why not just go with ATT, their plan is not much different and if you are under contract with tmobile or other carriers, just wait a while or pay the early term fee to get out and you'll only have to pay the 199 to get a great hand held computer.

are you high, do you know how much a blackberry curve cost when it first came out. It was 399 or more. The only reason it was less was due to their discount of you signing a 2 year contract. The cost of the blackberry curve and iphone was pretty much the same if you take out the subsidy and contract part. Why do people keep overlooking that. iphone had not subsidy untill now and that's why it was 399 which is comparable to nokia and blackberry phone with those features and without subsidy. One more thing, people made such a big deal of apple not having 3g before. Do you know that blackberry curve is still not 3G on GSM network, why isn't that a knock against RIM.

hey eric and toni, why don't you put your money where your mouth is or in this case what you post. I'll bet both of you 1 million dollars that apple will sell more then 10 million units in 2009 as Toni has predicted. Have some balls and put up the money or shut the f**k up.
