...those with ridiculously bloated expectations, like all those crack-smocking tech analysts breathlessly falling over themselves to proclaim that Apple sold 500,000+ iPhones in the first weekend of sales.
ATT stated in their quarterly earnings report that 146,000 iPhones were activated in the last two days of their financial quarter, which encompassed only the first Friday and Saturday of iPhone sales (well, a day and a half, technically). While that number does not include iPhones bought to be torn apart and analyzed, multiple units bought to be immediately sold on eBay or Craigslist, or iPhones that were purchased but couldn't be activated due to ATT's incompetence, the haters are screaming hallelujah in the streets and AAPL has dropped almost nine points.
Probably, in the end, a good buying opportunity ahead of Apple's own quarterly annoucements tomorrow.
