Investors along with everyone else was surprised to learn yesterday that AT&T reported activating 146,000 iPhones during the first two days it was on sale. This number might seem like a large number, but analysts were predicting over 200,000 with some estimating being as high as 500,000.
“We have noticed decent inventories [of the iPhone] at stores, and thin demand at best,” analyst Ittai Kidron of CIBC World Markets wrote in a report Tuesday. “In fact, most Apple store visitors were not looking at the device and only a very small subset bought it.”
Kidron also noted a recent survey of buyers of the device found that its key drawback is “poor data connectivity” that affects how quickly users can access and use the Internet over the device. The iPhone works over AT&T’s EDGE network for data, which is slower than other so-called 3G networks that are coming online in markets around the world. Yet another very good reason why you need serious therapy to sign a two year contract with AT&T.
The iPhone is barely out of its box and the news is already cautious at best, disappointing at worst. Here’s my thoughts on what is going to happen next. We will start reading and hearing complaints from users either because of AT&T’s lousy customer service or their incredibly slow data network. People will start to become unhappy and definitely regret signing a two year contract with AT&T. Apple being incredibly smart will follow up with a 3G version of the iPhone where they will work with networks like Verizon and all the people who ran out on day one and signed a contract with AT&T will all want to kill themselves.

I tend not to really focus any of my time or attention on SEO or search engine optimization here for many different reasons. The biggest reason is that SEO is seen by many as just tricks and scams to get better natural positioning in the search engines. And unfortunately, some search engine optimization companies and people have said and done things that have put themselves on the same levels of honesty as used car salesmen.
