- NeoRicen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Well duh, they just quadrupled the number of countries it's available in (soon).
- richardiscool, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5They just launched it in another 3 countries, of course they're going to up production.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Umm, free on a £25 a month contract with O2.
I need my other hand to hold all the money i have left over! - l0ne, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Apple has been in the mainstream since the mass success of the iPod -- which means they have quite a bit of experience with consumer electronics, thank you :)
- PunkFenixJT, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3You sure you don't need that other hand to pretend to be a girlfriend? =p
- wolfpack32k, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Why up production of the iphone when you could just get touch for less money and way more memory and just keep the phone and service you have now. Iphone is a complete waste of money.
- johnpaul191, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2i think the obvious observation is that the UK/European versions of the phone have to be made. remember Apple said their target was 10 million phones in the first year (or was it in 2008?). either way, that 10 million phones has to be global sales, not just the US market.
- YourMom1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2You could just activate it or unlock the SIM yourself if you have T-mobile. It takes about 15 minutes and all you need is iBrickr and Putty.
- Vtorch, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1You mean to say that Apple never considered upping production even when they announced the product earlier in the year? The answer to that is no. This is a ploy by Apple to raise it's stock price.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Resistance maybe futile but I have the special Nokia N95 power shield to protect me and its doing pretty well.
I can txt with one hand too =p! - msarge, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Maybe Apple is experiencing some growing pains? I'm sure it was a lot easier to appease a niche market than the mainstream market that they are finally going for.
- omnis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1but i thought they were going to sell 10 million before 2008? they'll need to up production a little more than just that!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I have never see a stock like Apple which almost entirely reacts on rumor. That is one scary stock !
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2With the price of that thing, you'd have to be able to use it with one hand.
- Vtorch, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1This is a ploy to simply help Apple's stock because the iPhone is not selling (the way Apple imagined it ). Remember, the projected goal of Apple was to sell 10 million iPhones in one year's time. Tha'ts a lot of iPhones and with the deep $200 price cut....that just flat out spells trouble. Remember when Supply is greater than Demand, there will always be a price cut. It's the law (of supply and demand economics).
- superkendall, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2What is special about texting with one hand? I can do that on the iPhone...
I can also type without looking on the iPhone keyboard, another supposed impossibility until you realize that touch typists memorize position of keys, they don't count every key by touch to type... - dansy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The real failure of the iPhone will be seen now in Europe - the (inflated) price from US becomes acceptable compared to the price in EU or UK :)
- suxmonkey, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3I couldn't afford one ... I sure can't afford two :/
- unknownsoldierX, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Yeah, cuz if Apple doesn't double production people won't buy it? What the hell is your point?
- Yage2006, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1If they don't like that then they should stop buying apple for a while until they change there ways.
- royalwcheese, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Either way you are buying an Apple product, and stock holders like myself rejoice.
- mstrebe, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0If you've used an iPhone, and you didn't like it, go ahead and diss. But STFU if you haven't used one to make a phone call. It's a _vastly_ superior phone to any other phone I've ever had just for the solitary purpose of making a call. If it didn't do one damn thing else, it would _still_ be the best cellphone on the market.
And please stop saying nokia/ericsson/motorola/palm/HTC's "is just as good and half the price". It's not anywhere near as good, I don't care if it can slice ***** tomatoes paper thin and babysit your kids, they all suck to use once you've seen what can really be done in terms of human user interface design. You'll save that extra $200 bucks the first time you're able to conference the right two people together to close a deal.
Dissing the iPhone because it costs a little more and doesn't have makes you sound like an uninformed idiot. - euphemizeme, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Skip the BLOGSPAM: http://www.thestreet.com/_dm/video/index.html?clip ...
- Quickfix99, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I think the gPhone won't compete with the iPhone. I'm sure it will be cool, but I have the feeling Google is thinking about giving them out for free to satisfy it's advertising market.
Here is a great site which aggregates all iPhone news (rumours at this point) into one place:
http://gphone.corank.com - superkendall, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2The iPhone is the best PHONE I have ever had. I laughed with glee when I was able to dispose of my RAZR.
There are many people that hate the cell phone they have, or like having an iPod and a phone but don't want the Batman Belt of multiple devices. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0http://slashdot.org/firehose.pl?op=view&id=296409
CHECK INTELS NEW PLAN - streak, on 10/10/2007, -6/+3thestreet.com has apparently given up on the badmouth approach to driving Apple share prices down with inaccurate unconfirmed rumors, and is now attempting to drive prices downward a little later by setting expectations too high with inaccurate unconfirmed rumors.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1Have they done market tests in other countries? Most are not impessed by the apple. They tend to like their own control and freedom a bit more then the American group does. Ironic isn't it?
- Dankoozy, on 10/10/2007, -5/+1I hope at least some of these will be sold unlocked without any stupid branding :(
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -7/+1Every fanboy who sign a contract with AT&T in order to buy an iPhone is a sellout! What a disgrace you guys are!
