activations...
i dont know if anyone has posted upthread about this, but i dont think the low number of activations on ATT is unreasonable, depending on how they count activations.
i got an iphone on saturday afternoon, but because i was porting from another carrier, it was not fully activated until sunday afternoon. if they count an activation from the *end* of the activation process, the 140,000 number reflects those people who were new customers or were already on ATT.
i thought i read somewhere that 40% of iphone customers were previously on a different carrier, so this can explain the discrepancy between ATT's number and apple's number.

Either way, I am willing to bet there have been some interesting emails going back and forth between Jobs and Stephenson....
Nice, glad to hear Apple is having back to back to back quarters of profit!
Glad I bought those 350 shares of AAPL when I did earlier....

Couldn't agree more - also, unless I'm mistaken, this is the first quarter that Apple have sold more than a million portables (1.13 million to be exact) - now that really is impressive.
AppleTV sales = 3
"With the AppleTV selling 4 units in 2007, one was rumored to be returned. Total revenue for the device projected in 2008 is $90."

ffff'ing HSBC! aaaaaarrgh
I put a stop loss on my aapl shares yesterday of $130.00 just on the off chance of a further slump.
The complete fffing morons sold at 137.00 and i didn't notice it till close aaargh i don't bloody believe it i've just lost ~$3000 in after market gains.
I watched the market yesterday, never saw it drop below 135.00. What the hell is going on.
There's going to be sweet murder in the morning if this isn't sorted.

The revenue is being accrued over the 24-month contract period due to expected expenses associated with services to be rendered during that time, in accordance with the matching principle of accrual-basis accounting, i.e. that revenues be matched with the expenses necessary for their generation. For the purpose of preparing a GAAP-compliant accrual basis income statement, cash flows are irrelevant; those go on the statement of cash flows, which is aptly named. In fact, I presume they'll have to report an unearned revenue liability on the balance sheet.

That blows.
But the moral of the story is: Don't have a stop loss on AAPL in an extremely volatile period.
iPhone satisfaction
Two "big issues" I have:
1) Seek within a song using the slide bar is not smooth enough. The scroll wheel of my iPod nano was much, much smoother and more precise. I hope they fix this with a software update, possibly changing the way the function works entirely.
2) No support for manual music management--instead, I have to create an "iPhone playlist" and synchronize it with the iPhone.

Supposedly AAPL hit a low of $129 after hours, though I never saw it fall below around $131. The idea that a stop loss order is a bad idea I think is wrong. They just need to be set right. It's better to have left some money on the table than to wake up one morning and find out that you lost half of your investment. I know, it's happened to me!
AAPL $137.26 a share now. Guess it all come out in the wash. Still a good time to get in though. IMHO
What's this about "Apple Tips Its Hand" at http://www.forbes.com/2007/07/25/ap...s-equity-cx_bc_0725markets38.html?partner=msn
Could that mean Apple is about to introduce some new products? Maybe a new back illuminated screen for my coming iMac.

"addressing corporate email on the iPhone?"
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Q: Are there thoughts about addressing corporate email on the iPhone?
A: We think that the iPhone is a breakthrough product for all customers including business customers. With very little help from the IT department, it will work. Have many business customers who are very happy so far.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Any idea what this means? Does it mean that they are testing MS Exchange or Blackberry Connect? Or does it mean that they convinced some corporate customers to open IMAP Ports?
I did hear before that MS Exchange ActiveSync was being tested but not sure if that is a fact or not. This question could have really clarified it.
Does anyone know for sure that this is in the works? I consider it extremely important to get a large segment of the email market.

Not always. The opening price will be closer to PM.
I will be an interesting day. Aapl is cheap folks buy at any price and hold for 5 years and I guarantee you that you will thank me for it.
I have been preaching this tune since last year. I keep getting richer and I don't have to work to hard at it.
In after hours trading it's reached $150.18. I bought 350 shares @ around $137 so in after hours I made about $4,613 give or take. Hopefully Apple will continue up a few more dollars tomorrow as people that couldn't trade in after hours try to make a few off of Apple before it creeps back down. I expect that by tomorrow (late morning/early afternoon) that Apple stock will have a sell off. Who knows though, I hope I'm wrong and it continues up about $15 more.

I was about to point this out too. Is there a typo in the report? It makes more sense if it is "NPD reported iTunes became 3rd largest Music retailer in the U.S."
