iPhone 4G?

[Bryancd]

200,000 iPhone 4G's ordered in China since the Saturday launch. China Unicom had to close down their online store to try and catch-up.

Too bad China blocks a lot of the Internet from the people.

I wonder if they will sell a lot of the "Proxy App" in the China iTunes store that lets them actually surf ALL of the web from China and not just what the government is ok with?  LOL!

iPhone 4 announced to be coming to Verizon.  Well, shocking.  http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703735804575536191649347572.html?ru=yahoo&mod=yahoo_hs

It doesn't bother me that I switched early though, I personally think if a lot of people switch to Verizon, it'll really cause their system to overload.  Not to mention, I haven't been overly impressed with Verizon as of late.  Time will tell on how Verizon can adapt to iPhone and how AT&T will fare through this no-doubt rough period.

Android phones are currently outselling all others, including the iPhone.  They are still behind on total market share, but seem to be catching up fast.

According to new numbers from Nielsen, sales of Android phones outpaced those of both BlackBerrys and the iPhone over the last six months. Android accounted for 32-percent of smartphone sales, with Apple and RIM's BlackBerry making up 25 and 26-percent respectively. At 19-percent total market share, Android still has a way to go to catch the iPhone and BlackBerry, but Google's mobile OS is closing in fast.

From that graphic it seems like Apple is competing with RIM and not Droid. When RIM makes gains, Apple dips and vice versa. It also appears that while Droid is on the rise, Rim and Apple might be reaching stability.

Keep in mind that's just sales in 2010, not market share.  But, I have heard A LOT of people in the tech area who are really enjoying the Droid OS and the app. store is becoming pretty competitive too.

P.S.  Where's Bryan been?  I'm sure he will have something to say about all this.  ;)

My new device has droid and I love it. It's really easy to use and more open than iOS in a lot of ways. Flash doesn't hurt either.

Isn't he in Kona? I think that there might be iPad reception issues there.

The graph makes it appear that RIM is losing sales to Android and that Apple sales are not as volatile.  I wonder if that graph includes all the buy one get one free deals going on right now.  Android phones are gaining due to a lot of 'deals' which Apple does not offer.

Does this graph include iPad sales? Probably not since it is not a phone device.

Losing sales to Android? Both are losing sales to Android, but the activity between Rim and Apple are almost a mirror of Each other. Every time Apple goes down, RIm goes up and vice versa. As for volatile, Apple starts of at 32% and ends at 25%. Rim starts at 34 and ends at 26, but droid rises from 14 to 32? If RIM is volatile, then Apple should be as well because they are almost mirrors in their sales. Except it took a bit longer for Driod sales to force a major dip in RIM sales.

This trend may end if Apple is coming to Verizon.  A lot of demand has been there for the iPhone to come to Verizon so that will also hurt droid sales as that is most of Verizon's phone lineup atm.

Here I am! Yes, in Kona on the iPad, race tomorrow! So analyst research is showing that a lot of Droid customers would have purchased an iPhone instead had it been available on the Verizon network. I mentioned before Droid is doing great because it is a good device and has exclusivity on Verizon..until now. As I always said, just watch now how Droid competes directly with Apple and I think we will see a dramatic change in those numbers.
