iPhone Generated One Million Inquiries

A Reuters story reports on comments by AT&T Chief Operating Officer Randall Stephenson during a speech on Tuesday.

While AT&T/Cingular is not accepting pre-orders for the iPhone, they have set up a email signup list to find out when the iPhone is available. During the speech, Stephenson revealed that "one million people have asked us to call when [the iPhone] is available", suggesting a high interest in the upcoming Apple phone.

Apple's iPhone is expected to ship in June of 2007.

Holy smokes :eek:

The iPhone will further extend the Apple name into the fabric of our everyday lives. The ubiquity of the Apple brand continues to take shape. From comptuer, to iPod, to iTV, and now the iPhone. You'll find an Apple product just about everywhere.

But what was their goal in the first year, 10 million iPhone's to be sold ?

Only 1/10th interest, hmm...

Inquiries...not preorders. And they want 10 million right?

I really hope they release a lower model, nano-esque, within it's 2008 goal of 10 million units. It sure would help both sides!

No iPhone shuffle for me, though :p .

I think unless restrained by production and availability Apple will SHATTER their goal within 2008. I wouldn't be surprised if there are people trampled everywhere on release day at the stores trying to get their hands on one.

It seems like Cingular is testing the water and the water is feeling mighty nice and warm! Count me in!

if true, this is only people who submitted requests... i'd think that most people don't do such things, so i'd say that interest is high indeed.

In an unscientific and unverifiable "survey" for the first three months of the year. And to say that this is either inclusive or exclusive of all interest is, well, hmm...
