Piper Jaffray: 500,000 iPhones sold over the weekend
Posted by Tom Krazit
Apple sold around half a million iPhones the first weekend the device went
on sale, one analyst firm has estimated.

Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster released a report Sunday night estimating that
Apple sold about 500,000 units from 6 p.m. Friday through the close of
business Sunday. Going into the weekend Munster thought Apple would sell
200,000 on Friday and Saturday.

Despite low supply at AT&T stores and activation issues, it appears that
the iPhone era at Apple got off to a good start. Piper Jaffray said Apple
had iPhones available in each one of its stores on Saturday, and in 84
percent of its stores Sunday.

Ninety-five percent of iPhone buyers in San Francisco, New York and
Minneapolis (home to Piper Jaffray's offices) purchased the 8GB model,
according to a survey conducted by the firm. About half were new customers
for AT&T, at least among the 253 people surveyed for the report.
