Android – Iphone – Applications

Rodman and Renshaw analyst Ashok Kumar tells GigaOm that waiting for an iPhone 4 will become noticeably easier by the end of September. If the production of devices finally gets on par with their demand, Kumar says the iPhone 4 should sell 14 million units in the 3rd quarter and 15 million in the 4th. What’s unbelievable is that those predictions are actually feasible and not ridiculous.

Without a “big” delay in supply Kumar believes that Apple can lynch off the flow of supply enough to stay well ahead of their expectations. I would say he’s right given the record numbers thus far.

It’s worth mentioning that the mentioned analyst cites that LG is pumping out more 9.7 displays for the iPad’s production as well. His predictions are that the popular handheld should be able to achieve 5 to 6 million units this quarter. Not bad for being a big iPod Touch.

What has your experience been lately? Have any of you tried waltzing into an Apple (or other retailer) and been able to walk out with an iPhone 4? Let us know how your luck has been in obtaining the new iDevice in the comment section.

This is odd. Like nearly every phone available, when the iPhone 4 was released you had the option of purchasing the device without any commitment to upgrade your AT&T contract. 9 to 5 Mac shows us a section from Apple’s FAQ’s that has them saying  you the device requires a 2-year wireless contract. Take a look at what it says.

Originally the contract free iPhone 4′s were sold for $599-$699 without the AT&T subsidy. Apparently AT&T is saying that nothing on their end has changed, which has left some (including myself) wondering if this is because of the recent jailbreaking allowance granted by the U.S. Senate.

Have any of you recently bought a contract free iPhone 4? Or is this Apple’s passive aggressive nature coming out in hopes to kill off buyers who jailbreak/unlock an iPhone and resell it for higher profits?

This just in from South Korea: they really love their iPhones.

Korea Telecom, the sole provider for the iPhone in Korea, received over 110,000 pre-orders from Koreans, which is quite a lot more compared to the 65,000 iPhone 3GS sold in that pre-order stage.

Well, the iPhone 3GS went on to sell 850,000 devices, so let’s just see what iPhone 4 will sell. It will hopefully be as good as the ones China Unicom is expected to get.

Since an iPhone 4 case is now a mandatory requirement, why not get one with an attached Bluetooth headset?

This is what the Mogo Talk Bluetooth headset/case is designed to be, as it gives the iPhone 4 protection and the power of a wireless headset. Sadly, the headset must be charged separately from the iPhone 4 itself via microUSB connector.

It is priced down to $100 from $130.
