Cafe IPhone

Let the craziness begin. The Apple website was up and down all day June 16, 2010 when pre ordering iPhone 4 began. The Title line read"Have It June 24, 2010" and with in hours it changed to July 2, 2010. Wow thats insane sold out before pre ordering officially began. That's right they started a day early to avoid site issue of the past. It didn't work. The Apple website and the ATT site both had problems because of heavy traffic.
It would appear that those who had the time to constantly refresh the page did place there orders for iPhone 4 with delivery date on June 24, 2010. On the other hand if you waited or didn't get through early you where shut out until July 24, 2010. And forget about getting white.
The delays also trickle down to AT&T Stores as they use their own website to set up accounts and register iPhone serial numbers.

Every year since 2007 Apple has had issues with launching iPhones. The sites crash and inventory drops. It could be clever marketing or any number reasons, but our money is on a purposeful methodical slow release of inventory by Apple. If we think about it Apple has had 3 years to get launch days right. The company also just sold 2 million iPads within months of launch. This would tell us they are fully aware of whats going on and are trying to drive hype. The best marketing in the world is creating a feel of urgency in consumers.

Apple has a long relationship with Adobe. In fact, we met Adobe’s founders when they were in their proverbial garage. Apple was their first big customer, adopting their Postscript language for our new Laserwriter printer. Apple invested in Adobe and owned around 20% of the company for many years. The two companies worked closely together to pioneer desktop publishing and there were many good times. Since that golden era, the companies have grown apart. Apple went through its near death experience, and Adobe was drawn to the corporate market with their Acrobat products. Today the two companies still work together to serve their joint creative customers – Mac users buy around half of Adobe’s Creative Suite products – but beyond that there are few joint interests.

I wanted to jot down some of our thoughts on Adobe’s Flash products so that customers and critics may better understand why we do not allow Flash on iPhones, iPods and iPads. Adobe has characterized our decision as being primarily business driven – they say we want to protect our App Store – but in reality it is based on technology issues. Adobe claims that we are a closed system, and that Flash is open, but in fact the opposite is true. Let me explain.

First, there’s “Open”.

Adobe’s Flash products are 100% proprietary. They are only available from Adobe, and Adobe has sole authority as to their future enhancement, pricing, etc. While Adobe’s Flash products are widely available, this does not mean they are open, since they are controlled entirely by Adobe and available only from Adobe. By almost any definition, Flash is a closed system.

Apple on April 9, 2010 provided a peek at some of the new features coming to its iPhone later this year. In an event at its Cupertino headquarters, CEO Steve Jobs outlined the upcoming update to its iPhone operating system.
The iPhone OS 4 beta software and SDK are available immediately for iPhone Developers.

Anyone who knows anything about Apple and the iPhone knows they have something new every summer. The fact that they never go to trade shows, not even MacWorld leaves them to have there own launch times. So this probably will be more of a announcment this June some time.
This summer Apple really needs a good launch. Other phone manufacturers are nipping one the heals of iPhone. They need to spread out like Android is and go 4G.

According to the WSJ Apple has begun the process of test CDMA iPhones for Verizon Wireless. They say they have the inside info at the WSJ and we believe them.
"is developing a new iPhone to debut this summer and also appears to be working on a model for U.S. mobile phone operator Verizon Wireless, say people briefed on the matter."
They go on to say
"One person familiar with the situation said Pegatron is scheduled to start mass producing the CDMA iPhones in September, but it was unclear when Apple might make the model available.

Spokespeople for Apple, Pegatron, Hon Hai and Verizon Wireless, which is majority owned by Verizon Communications Inc., declined to comment."
