Ratatouille Beats the iPhone

According to the news reports, everyone's puffing their chest that iPhone sold about 200,000 on day one. 200,000? Doesn't sound like a major coup to me. Sounds like the little cartoon rat in the kitchen kicked Apple's butt actually.

Apple's IPhone Sells Out at Most AT&T Stores, Swamping Network

By Connie Guglielmo

July 1 (Bloomberg) -- Apple Inc.'s U.S. debut of the iPhone drew thousands of shoppers over the weekend, emptying most of AT&T Inc.'s inventory and causing network glitches as the flood of customers began activating the device.

Shoppers snapped up as many as 200,000 iPhones the first day after the device went on sale June 29, according to Global Equities Research. While it was still available at all 164 Apple stores yesterday, AT&T said most of its 1,800 stores no longer had the phone in stock. AT&T is the only mobile-phone service that works with the iPhone.
