iPhone 3G Shortage to Last a Month?

Friday July 18, 2008 10:11 am PDT by Arnold Kim
Computerworld reports on observations made by Piper Jaffary analysts who believe that Apple will continue to have supply problems with the iPhone 3G for the next two to four weeks.

eWeek reports that the iPhone 3G was sold out in 114 of Apple's 188 stores this morning, only marginally better than the 117 sold out stores on Tuesday. The author has compiled a list, but the locations that did have stock this morning may already be sold out.

See. Getting there at 5am on iDay2 and standing there like a geeky dork for 4 hours has its benefits.:D

I don't believe the iPhone 3G even exists. How do you like that.

This whole thing is just a lie. A clever ruse.

In fact, none of you exist either. You and your "I have a iPhone 3G" posts. You're part of some viral marketing campaign or something, and all these posts are generated by a Turing machine.

iPhone 3G. What a laugh.

My GPS is so markedly better in v2.0, I wonder why I even need a 3G. I guess so when I download the porn, I don't loose the mood by the time it arrives....

Undoubtedly. Waited over four hours on Day 1 - No complaints. This phone is remarkable. I updated my 1st gen to 2.0 and synced it so that I can continue to work with apps and play games while the 3G is charging.

I live in a non-3G city... so you couldn't be any closer to the truth!

Is the stock really that low? I'm so glad I camp-out on the launch day.

Or just wait a month and then walk in and out with no hassles.

I find it odd that there are such supply issues. I ordered over the phone on Day 1 and received 3 days later. I am now getting a replacement sent and it should be here in no more than 4 days. I guess Canada is sucking up the supply ;) ... or just ordered more than we needed.

I wonder where all those folks are now that claimed there was no need to line up because the iPhone 3G won't sell that well (since they said it's only a minor upgrade) and that they'll have plenty of them to go around?

Waited 7 hours for mine and am happy as a clam!

:D

Would you mind walking over to the window and holding still for a few moments while we get a clean shot?... I mean, to see how beautiful it is outside today?
