iPhone Wereld:
Interessant genoeg worden ongeveer 30% van alle iPhones geopend. En om dit te bewijzen er wat eenvoudige te doen math zijn.
Ten eerste, openbaarde Apple dat zij 3.7 miljoen iPhones vorig jaar hebben verkocht. Nu AT&T, in hun recente persconferentie zei dat 2 miljoen iPhones aan hun netwerk werden ingetekend. Duitsland, het UK en Frankrijk heeft rond 200k-400k (geen officiële cijfers werden vrijgegeven) die rond 1 miljoen iPhones maakt. Voorts accumuleert het totale Europese en Amerikaanse aantal aan 3 miljoen.
Hebt u het zo hier. Rond 1/3 of 1/4th van iPhones wordt geopend. Zelfs becommentari�ërde Apple dat zij geloven de geopende iPhoneaantallen significant zijn.

iPhone Wereld:
Hoewel het een populaire keus is, jailbreaking iPhone, Apple onlangs aangekondigd 4 verkochte Miljoen iPhones verlaat dat iets wordt gewenst, aangezien ongeveer de helft hen niet officieel in het kader van de contracten van AT&T is.
AT&T zei dat het 2007 met enkel rond 2 miljoen iPhoneabonnees beëindigde, wat een omtrek voor eveneens beschadigd/teruggekeerd iPhones geeft, maar als meer dan twee miljoen iPhones beschadigd waren, zou er werkelijk geen markt voor het apparaat zijn.
So, there’s obviously over a million iPhone users on different networks using unofficially unlocked devices, but why? Alot of dispute over AT&T exclusive contract with Apple has really turned about 30% of the iPhone’s users to using complex methods of cracking, apparently.
Speaking of which, the latest firmware’s jailbreak should be released soon, so keep an eye out for that upcoming article.

iPhone World:
Apple faces yet another legal battle over the iPhone concept and technology. This time it’s Minerva Industries, which targeted not only Apple but also RIM, and a satellite phone company, Atlantic RT Inc. among others, with one of three lawsuits filed on Tuesday, after just beating out rival patents filed by Apple itself.
The patent in question, USPTO patent No. 7,321,783, gives a brief description of a “mobile entertainment and communication device”, and outlines a palm-sized device used “for recording data directly from the Internet” that “also includes a camera and microphone for recording images and sound”.
Minerva believes that Apple was keeping tabs on their patent application (which records show was filed in November of 2003), and waited until the last minute to provide prior art concepts in an attempt to hinder this application, while boosting one of its own claims. Minerva states they informed Apple of their patent application last November.
Both sides were reviewed by the US Patent Board which ruled in Minerva’s favor, determining that their device was patentable. Minerva claims that Apple’s attempt at claiming its patent invalid has caused them to “[suffer] monetary damages in an amount not yet determined”. In addition to paying said damages, they are also seeking a permanent injunction stopping Apple from further infringement on Minerva’s patent.
The other two Minerva Technologies lawsuits filed that day target 31 defendants in total, including Research in Motion, AT&T Mobility, LG, Palm, and Motorola.

iPhone World:
Apparently the iPhone is the hot unofficial topic of discussion for some panelists at this years’ World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The annual meeting of global political and business elites included New York Times journalist John Markoff, who was one of the few with the device at this years’ meetings.
“It’s still very much a RIM Blackberry world. Indeed, if you pull an iPhone out of your pocket, it still creates a mild sensation here, because unlike in the United States, most Europeans have yet to touch Apple’s six-month-old handheld phenomenon.” states Markoff in the ‘Davos Diary’ on New York Times Online.
Apparently discussion was had during a Technology Update panel, which included the likes of AT&T Chief Executive Randall Stephenson as well as others from High Tech Computer & Lenovo, and it was agreed that the iPhone is greeted as a positive for the technology sector, on account of its easy-to-use interface attracting more casual mobile users, in addition to usual business users. In contrast to the apparent foreboding of an economic crisis , the iPhone may be shining example of perhaps what the future may hold for the technology sector.

iPhone World:
Taiwanese Chinese-language newspaper Economic Daily News reports that Apple lowered the projected number of iPhones to be sold in second fiscal quarter of 2008 (January-March), citing sources at Apple’s handset component suppliers in Taiwan.
According to the newspaper Apple lowered its expectations from 2 million to 1.1-1.2 million units to be sold during these three months.
As of yet Apple did not comment on this story.
However, if this was found to be true, it will be hard for Apple to meet its expected goal of 10 million units sold in the first year since iPhone’s launch, as only 4 million iPhones were sold thus far worldwide.
