Reading Apple: iPhone Sales Slightly Off, MacBook OK

I purchased a new iphone on Thursday night to replace my 2g iphone which I handed down to my daughter. Out of the 10 people that were in the store while I was there for about 30 minutes, the couple in front of me bought an iphone, I bought an iphone and everyone else looked at the iphone. No one looked at the bold. 3 guys were told to go to the Apple store (not sure why). My checks at my apple store is that people are buying the Iphone. As for my personal checks, at the Richmond Marathon this week at least 4 of my personal friends are considering one and of my wife's group most of them want it.

I think sales will be good this quarter and even better thanks to Verizon advertising the storm. If the phone is not as good as the iphone, than many verizon customers who are on the fence may finally switch to AT&T and the iphone.
