Looks like iphone mania is sweeping the world! Evidentaly, the overwhelming purchases of the new 3G iphone tied up the itunes activation servers when too many people tried to connect.
From reuters:
“Activation problems marred the U.S. launch of the new iPhone on Friday, with many eager buyers leaving stores frustrated that they could not use the hotly anticipated gadget after waiting in line for hours.AT&T Inc, the sole U.S. carrier for the iPhone, blamed problems synchronizing the phone with Apple’s iTunes online music and software store, saying it was probably caused by too many people trying to access iTunes at the same time.”
I guess the venerable Steve Ballmer (Microsoft CEO) was wrong again when he was quoted as saying:
“There’s no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance.”
Oops?
