Also possibly explaining the discrepancy – Munster has no idea what he's talking about.

I'm 37 and find it so sad that a 28-year old would find it necessary to make such an inane post on a financial blog. If your social life revolves around putting down others for simply buying a product in a sad attempt to boost your own self-worth, the iPhone is the least of your 'pressing issues'.

Dan Lee, I have no idea what you mean by "Limbaughed butts", but if you were informed, you would know that Rush Limbaugh is a die-hard Apple fan. He owns something like three Mac Pros and when the first iPhones came out last year, he bought ten of them and gave them out to his listeners. He has stated repeatedly on his show that he would love to advertise Apple on his program, but SJ won't have anything to do with it.

Anyway, I am a Rush Limbaugh fan and I own Apple stock and I use a Macbook Pro. I have already informed my family that the only thing I want for Christmas this year is a new iPhone.

I'm 28 and find it so sad that people want a dumb cell phone this bad. If your social life revolves around waiting at the Apple Store for their newest product(s), obtaining an iPhone is the least of your 'pressing issues'.

Who really cares about the total number of units sold…does it really matter?

The fact is is that more and more people are discovering Apple, discovering quality, and having fun with technology.

Good for Apple on delivering a product that people want.

So, people are complaining about high gas prices, losing their jobs, and so much more, yet they can afford to buy a new phone with the cheapest one costing $199. Gramm is correct, this nation is full of whiners.

I wonder how many, if any of those one million phones left the dock in Asia bound for CARRIERS/PARTNERS prior to July 1 which would put those sales into the quarter that will be reported next Monday. Maybe a pleasant surprise? If not then the guidance should be just so much better.

I can hear the denial now.

…..Apple only sold a million iPhones in three days….Nokia sells that many handsets in three hours….Apple's servers give up the ghost under a moderate load of a few activations…..Amazon can handle thousands of transactions a second, day in and day out….So what if users downloaded 10 million apps from the App store…..There's only eight halfway decent apps out of 800 and the rest are all crap…..WinMo has 80,000 apps and they're all better than Apple's eight good ones….All the pent-up demand for the iPhone 3G will be gone by tomorrow and that's all they'll sell for the rest of the year…..WinMo 6.2 is coming and it'll be more powerful than OSX Mobile by at least 10X.

|__________

It doesn't matter how well the iPhone sells or how many people love the App store, Apple is evil for excercising too much control over it's products…..Only fools wait on line for anything…..The iPhone will fail in Japan because every handset in Japan is far more advanced than the iPhone and have better OSs…..Might as well quit the handset business now, Apple…..The iPhone 3G was released amid much hype and absolutely nobody took notice.
