I did actually see something interesting here: the claim that an iPhone
will be released to run on Clearwire...

Dude, get a grip. Apple just reported 8.7 million iPhones sold in the
last quarter, the most they've ever moved in a quarter:

Uh huh, they keep selling more and more, more this time than in any
previous quarter, so that's obviously a sign that things are not going
well.
But seriously, how many fanboys do you think there are?

Market saturation in ATT's tiny footprint of major cities had to happen at
some point. Apple needs to expand iPhone out to the rest of the country to
maintain market share.

Not as many unique instances as AAPL management is betting the company.

Maybe not. First they have to know how many people who would otherwise
buy an iPhone are not doing so because they can't or won't use AT&T. It
does Apple no good if half of AT&T's iPhone users move over to Verizon,
with only a slight increase in sales from subscribers who wanted an
iPhone but only on Verizon. It might be much better to take however many
hundreds of millions of dollars that AT&T is likely offering Apple to
continue the exclusive arrangement.
I used to work for a semiconductor company that made x86
microprocessors. Every time we won a top tier design we _knew_ that it
was not really won until the product was actually in production because
another, much larger x86 company, would offer our customer significant
amounts of money to not use our product; sometimes the customer would
take the money, apologize to us, and go use the competitors
product--sometimes they stuck with us.

Lacks objectivity.
"According to Wall Street analyst Brian Marshall of Broadpoint Am Tech,
11.3 million units will be sold worldwide in the current three month
period. Marshall had originally expected 10 million iPhones to be sold
in the fourth quarter, so the new estimate represents a nice increase
for Apple. "

"Apple (AAPL) just released its earnings for last quarter .... there
were two major disappointments. iPhone sales, even though the almost
doubled those of the same quarter in the previous year, failed to hit
what many analysts expected... Furthermore, iPod sales actually dropped
in a year-over-year comparison.
Apple had an undeniably such a hot quarter that it would seem unfair to
condemn it as bad performance. But the potential is there, particularly
on the way Apple usually neatly steers analyst expectations so it almost
always comes out smelling like an indomitable winner. The iPhone and
iPod details arent going to make most market seers happy.
Apple cheerleader and Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster had predicted
9.3 million iPhones selling last quarter. Thats a difference of
600,000, which is significant. And he wasnt the only one. Kauffman
Bros. analyst Shaw Wu predicted 9.5 units. Andy Hargreaves of Pacific
Crest Securities Inc. said between 9.1 million and 9.2 million."

the analysts guessed wrong. the fact remains that sales are *up*.

ipod sales are being cannibalized by the iphone and ipod touch, not
competing products. market share for the ipod has remained pretty much
at the same level and is increasing in international markets.

that's a 6% error, which is not significant.

Delusional much?
No one who bought AAPL on the hype of 11, 10, 9.5, 9.3, 9.2, 9.1 or 9
million Q4 handset sales is "happy", especially given the kick-back
economics of iToy sales, and the shares closed flat.

Closed almost 5% BELOW its intra-day, puff-piece high.
Guess the "good news" got out and the stock went flat.

But will it work? After all the iPhone uses the international standards
[GSM and 3G] not company-specific standards used in the US only.
Apple would have to release a separate iPhone for each single US carrier
and it would be unusable outside the US ...

LOL that's rich, a lesson on accepting reality from an apparent
ultra-lib.
