iPocalypse Now

I had the iTunes problem when I upgraded to V2.o on my old iPhone. But when I tried later in the day it re-activated with no problems. The changes are great. I love the new calculator . I actually bought my first game

it's a phone!!!

Yawn - Apple will fix the problem and everyone will enjoy their shiny new phones. Meanwhile a third of US citizens live below the poverty line and another third just enough above it to be disqualified for food stamps.

iphone...Cryphone ...who can give a damn! steve jobs America needs JOBS

Got my phone and activated it without any issues. Print that you idiot.

After waiting 6 hours in line i got one, long wait cause AT&T servers where down like last year, & when my turn for activation came, AT&T system came back with a error message saying i was not eligible for a upgrade, but was quickly resolve with a call to AT&T (death star) and asking them WTF was going on. The phone is Nice but that's a stunt i won't do again, no matter if it comes in 24K gold

It's sad to come on the tech ticker forums and see such clueless people posting and crying about every single AAPL post. Already there is one person whining about how Tech Ticker is Apples "mouthpiece" and another complaining because he got his phone activated properly and probably thinks that Tech Ticker is bashing Apple. People just don't understand that Tech Ticker is REPORTING news, not making it up as they see fit. Why do these people bother to even come here and read the Tech Ticker articles if it annoys them so much? Obviously the sale of the iPhone was in such a huge demand that the Apple iTunes server couldn't handle all the bandwidth. To break it down to people who can't understand that it's quite simple, it's both GOOD and BAD news, Apple selling lots of iPhones = GOOD, their iTunes server not being able to handle the bandwidth capacity of new subscribers all at once = BAD. Was that so hard to figure out? - From a MacBook & PC user.

The glory days are behind Apple, regardless of how well or poorly the initial reaction to the iPhone is. Fact is, their explosive growth was driven by the iPod and iTunes which at its time was a unique product and will continue to do well. I have reservations regarding the iPhone as the space is crowded with some hefty competition. For this company to grow, Mac sales need to explode by some sort of urgency to actually "own an iMac". Simple as that and in this economic environment, that'll be difficult. They also need need to remove the protection from the iTunes content as it could become a problem in the near future as the wolves are lining up to bite them in the rear. Regarding share price, I think it thrashes between $140 - $170 for a long time. $200+ is a stretch without some new earthshaking development. How many of those super thin (without an optical drive) laptops have you seen lately? Makes me wonder about the near-term strength of this company. BeerGuy!

BeerMan, you really are clueless about the company and I would urge you to study their business and study the growth of the Mac over the last few years. Your reservations about the iPhone are the same lame excuse your "hefty competition" has been using since the initial iPhone launch. This is the same excuse that was used when the iPod came out. It was a fad, the hefty competition, too expensive, yada yada, yada. Do you have kids? Ask them what they think about Apple. Just keep coming up with additional excuses to stay out of the stock, while Apple keeps cranking out amazing quarter after amazing quarter. Remember MSFT, INTC, DELL when they were growing, remember those years? I was too young to realize it then to invest, today is Apple's turn, and if you don't get it now, you will miss it. It's only half way through its growth phase. You should wonder about the near term strength of companies that are doing so so, not a company that cranks out products quarter after quarter. Do your homework instead of being a sheep of the media

I think many people continue to miss the real story with Apple. While iPhones and iPods get the press, the real revolution is with the Macs. No one ever bought a PC because of ease of use. Whether it was DOS or Windows 3.1 or any other incarnations that we endured, we bought PC's to run software that was only available on Intel chips. From Lotus 1-2-3 to Doom to our enterprise apps, the software drove the hardware sales and there was no way to run it on a MAC. MAC's still only have 7% of the market. up from 3.5% a few years ago. I think there is room here for the market share to continue to improve.

Its all fixed go back to bed people. Shame on AT&T they really botched this one!

Apple should buy Yahoo at $33 now they have made their ask public to sell the entire company. Apple with the iPhone could leverage Yahoo’s the best on PC and Mac platforms and with mobile. Google is planning to launch a cell phone /service in the couple months and will directly be challenging Apple’s iPhone market. Apple can take the lead by purchasing Yahoo to capture the mobile market and reducing Google’s market power.

dear other guy, The problems that Apple and ATT encountered at launch are reasonably avoidable. There is no real need to do everything at once . So we have phone hardware, MobileMe, and AppsStore all on one day. Yeah, great rock show, but is it what the customers need or want. Well, personally, I am a customer, and I wanted the iPhone bad enough to wait through the line. And I think the stock will do fine, if not better, so I am glad to be holding. DD
